In short. This is perhaps the biggest national racial event since Rodney King. It is also shaping up to be the biggest media driven false public story since Richard Jewell.  It’s in the process of becoming a watershed event;  And it’s almost entirely fake.  It’s a tempest in a tea cup.
The whole thing is an institutionally media-generated racialist/communist psychopolitical agitator’s dream come true.
But the larger question, the intellectually honest question, is why?  

Much is being made about Trayvon shooting the middle finger.  Pfffft it’s distraction.    *the kid in the top banner picture, (with Obama) on the right, is not the same Trayvon Martin*   However, feel free to insert this picture below in its place which does show the real Trayvon Martin shooting a double middle finger pose.  Does that make a difference?

It shouldn’t.   The Facts as they appear to me. (more…)

The front page of AOL leads to a Huffington Post article about Trayvon Martin that is so ridiculously over the top – if the issue was not so serious it would be funny.    From the optic of the banner graphic headline (copied below), to the complete fabrication of some facts, to the remaining filler verbage being, well, blatantly avoiding the known reality.
This is the type of reporting, wait,…. I don’t know if reporting is even appropriate in this example.   More apropos descriptive would be ‘propaganda’, so blatantly biased that it fills the casual reader with disinformation and in some cases outright falsehoods.   Worse yet, this type of dishonest story telling diminishes the actual substance of concern within the real issue itself.
Copied and deconstructed (italicized) in its entirety to showcase the manipulation. (more…)

Now that President Obama has rolled out what appears to be a canned Race War strategy, and ran into the Rose Garden to provide his unsolicited opinion for the media on the Trayvon Martin shooting, things have fundamentally changed about this story.

After following the heavily nuanced Obama administration for three  years I am of a reasonable belief this “Race War Narrative” was a pre-determined canned script looking for an event to land on. 
They just found one.
This story contains all the similar aspects to the opportunistic “Together We Thrive” Obama Campaign response to the Arizona-Giffords shooting.  With even more divisive and consequential rhetoric that could inevitably be far more dangerous. (more…)

Final post today on all things Trayvonesque.   The institutional left-wing contingencies who carry their greatest dependence on race baiting narratives are in a feeding frenzy trying to position themselves at the trough for optical and financial advantage.

SANFORD, Fla. — Rallying in front of the Sanford Police Department headquarters, members of the New Black Panther Party ripped President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for not responding forcefully enough to the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

Mikhail Muhammad, the southern regional minister for the New Black Panther Party, told The Daily Caller that he thinks that the DOJ’s decision to get involved in this case came “a little too late.” (more…)

It’s always easiest to “Blame-A-Bush” in the eyes of the institutional left…  Heck, they’ve made an abject science out of it.   However, on this Trayvon Martin story they even found a way to make this Rush Limbaugh’s fault.  
MSNBC host Ed Schultz blamed former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., for the death of Trayvon Martin, the teenager whose death in a shooting has made national news and sparked accusations of racism in America.

“Jeb Bush helped pave the way for this senseless tragedy and remains silent,” Schultz said last night on his show. “What a political tragedy.” […] (more…)

“Never let a good crisis go to waste”…..  I knew this opportunistic false racist pile-on perpetrated by the media and exploited by the White House/Obama Campaign/Obama himself, would happen.   Because the exploitation is so blatently obvious its Sickening.
The insufferable petty arrogance of the campaigner in chief is absolutely horrid.   Staggeringly selfish opportunistic exploitation.    “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”, yeah, he’d probably be acting like him too.
Oh man, we are gonna be hearing about this story for weeks from every possible nuanced organization that relies on racism and special interest exploitation to provide their cause celeb. 
WASHINGTON, D.C. — For the first time since the controversy erupted on the national scene, President Barack Obama weighed in on the killing of Trayvon Martin, calling it a tragedy, urging cooperation among law enforcement and declaring that “some soul searching” was needed throughout the country.

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal, and not just a political or legal, level. “I think [Trayvon’s parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.” (more…)

And the 12-year-old pictures of a pee wee football playing choir boy to build sympathy is getting a little, well, annoyingly over the top.  Young Mr. Martin was visiting his father after getting suspended from school.  Trayvon was 17 years old when this occurred.  Seventeen.
It might make the optic more appealing, but, sorry Sharpton, I remember the Tawana Brawley fiasco, and even more recently I well remember the Duke Lacrosse players rape case fraud.   Optics are not always reality.

The consistent false drumbeat cries of racism and crime have diminished actionable credibility and unfortunately cast a long shadow of doubt over what could possibly be justified outrage.   Perhaps some folks consider Al Sharpton a strong advocate.   But many more consider him an opportunistic flamboyant Pentecostal preacher who spends $2,000 a year for hair care at Brooklyn’s Prima Donna Beauty Salon and never met a black crime he could not turn into some form of racist inquisition.
