Friday Afternoon Roundup - I Am Not Trayvon Martin
Friday, July 19, 2013, Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

I AM NOT TRAYVON MARTIN

The latest liberal idiocy involves while college kids apologizing for their "white privilege" by declaring "I am not Trayvon Martin". Of course they're more likely to get assaulted going through a black neighborhood, than the Trayvon Martins are going through a white neighborhood, but facts like that stopped mattering years ago.

So let me take my own shot at it.

I am not Trayvon Martin. Not just because if confronted by a local Latino homeowner, I'm not likely to pick up a fight with him and beat him until he shoots me.

I am also not Trayvon Martin because if I were shot and killed by any person, regardless of race, color or creed, you would never hear Obama talking about it because I look nothing like his son.

Lacking the Black Privilege that turns a death into an opportunity for race baiting, I would just be another statistic. There would be no rallies for me and no t-shirts with my name on it. No one would be talking about how they are me or aren't me.

Twenty years ago, a young man who looked very much like me was stabbed to death in Crown Heights by a mob shouting, "Kill the Jew". His name was Yankel Rosenbaum. The man responsible for the race riot he was killed in has a show on MSNBC and is considered Obama's main liaison to the black community.

So I know that if I were killed, the man responsible would probably show up on MSNBC ten years later lecturing on racism and white privilege.

If I were killed, my death would not be a cause, only another urban statistic in cities where crime is disproportionately carried out by the Trayvon Martins of the world, who are turned into martyrs when they are killed, rather than when they do the killing.

I am not Trayvon Martin because my death would not be used to convince bored white kids to pour out their fake guilt in histrionic displays of political correctness.

I am not Trayvon Martin because no one would care what brand of candy I was carrying or what I was wearing or where I was going. I would be another white outline on the sidewalk that the white privilege kids would walk around on the way to another seminar on white privilege.


THE TRIAL OF AMERICA

The race-baiting left had to tell its familiar story and they weren’t going to let anything get in the way of telling that story. They have to tell and retell that story because it establishes their moral authority to run our society and our lives.

The story is black and white with no room for ambiguities or gray areas. It’s about race as martyrdom. It’s about white guilt. The story is already written and the left is always looking to stick someone’s name in the empty space between “White racist” and “Minority victim.” The head of Stalin’s secret police once said, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” The American left reverses that equation. They already know the crime. All they need is the man.

It wasn’t George Zimmerman’s freedom that they wanted to take away. It was our freedom. Zimmerman wasn’t being indicted as one man, but as a representative of a group. It didn’t matter that his appearance, his background and his motives did not fit the profile. He was indicted as a white racist. And by indicting him, the media was actually indicting the ordinary American for being part of a racist system that murders black youth.

AMERICA'S FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD PRESIDENT HELPS OUT A BROTHER

Zitat

Obama had two radically different approaches to three Egyptian governments. The non-Brotherhood governments were threatened and criticized. The Muslim Brotherhood government was neither threatened nor criticized. Non-Brotherhood governments were told that they would have to make room for the Brotherhood or face a loss of American support, but when the Muslim Brotherhood began to wield absolute power, there were no threats from Hillary Clinton or Obama.

Under Morsi, Amir Ayad, an activist protesting Muslim Brotherhood rule, was dragged into a mosque, beaten and tortured. When the Muslim Brotherhood members assaulting him realized he was a Copt, they called him a “Christian Dog” and left him half-dead by the side of the road.

This is the reign of terror that millions of Egyptians risked their lives to break free of. This is the horror that caused Egyptian women to risk the Muslim Brotherhood’s rape gangs to denounce in Tahrir Square. This is what Obama wants to impose on Egypt again.

LOOKING LIKE YANKEL

Al Sharpton, MSNBC’s in-house bigot and hate-crime king, had his usual words of wisdom to offer after the Zimmerman verdict.

"What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime... We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he’s exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted.”

Sharpton should be quite familiar with this state of affairs from the Crown Heights Pogrom, which he led, back in 1991. Mobs incited by Al Sharpton attacked anyone who looked like an Orthodox Jew.

Anthony Graziosi, a 67-year-old Italian man with a white beard, whose only crime was looking like an Orthodox Jew was murdered. So was Yankel Rosenbaum, who actually was an Orthodox Jew.

While liberal White Privilege shouters insist that only black people get killed for how they look, these two men were killed by black people for looking like Jews.

Lemrick Nelson, Rosenbaum’s killer got away with it, despite stabbing Rosenbaum after shouting “Kill the Jew”. He was acquitted by a majority black jury, some of whose members then went out to party with the killer’s lawyer.

Great article 'I am not Trayvon Martin' Nice to see someone use the word Black Privilege.

I also found this link good reading:

. . . I had to laugh when I read that "teachers and educators are typically the first to see evidence of trouble at home…." Trayvon Martin, the "child" shot by George Zimmerman in self-defense, was "trouble" looking for punching bag, preferably a human one. What did his public school or his parents do about his "nonacademic" problems? School suspensions, slaps on wrists, behavioral counseling, and impotent finger-wagging. . . .

His roundups are great. I also found this item of interest down toward the bottom:

ALL YOUR CHILDREN...

Zitat

Logically, no one, not even the parents. But parents are responsible for bringing a child into existence, and for its education. They are responsible for preparing their children to live as rational, responsible adults. Public school educators could make that same claim, citing the need for a civil society of a population of rational, responsible adults and that compulsory schooling was the best answer to that need, because the state had the facilities and resources to address a multitude of issues. And I've never read of any public school advocate say that without qualifying the claim by including some form of collectivist virtue that should be imbued in children as well as in the parents.

And where do those facilities and resources come from? From taxpaying parents, and also from taxpaying individuals who have no children to send to any school, public or private. Individuals produce children. Governments do not. There is no such thing as a government-run stud farm (or a Huxleyian Brave New World "hatchery") that produces children who automatically become the responsibility of the state, which nominally "owns" them after parents waive custody of their offspring.

Governments do not even produce children in the most collectivist, totalitarian countries. Parents do. All the state can do, whether it is totalitarian or "democratic" in nature, is appropriate children for the state's purposes. Whether or not those purposes are benign or malign, is irrelevant. Nor do state-run orphanages "own" the children in them. Such institutions are inappropriately charged with the responsibility of sheltering and feeding children left parentless.

From Edward Cline's End Compulsory Education at Rule of Reason

There are some teachers who still see a moral responsibility in teaching their students. These teachers do have their fingers on the pulse of the younger generation. Any positive influence that they can use with the students should be applauded.

But it circles back to the homes of the children.

With the Martin family's broken home and with the parents living in two different states I suspect that Trayvon Martin had little instruction on how to grow into a healthy and happy human being.

I blame his parents. Their cries of victimhood do not sway me. Their child deserved so much more.

Every child does.

What's even worse is this whole charade that is being played out about the so called "family." How many in America understand the true (unfortunate) dynamics of the two "parents" and that "family?"

(Probably not many since they are being portrayed as the Cunninghams or Cosbys TV families.)

Charade is right. It's mind blowing how dishonest the entire thing has become. Proving the fact that the left's goal is the destruction of our great society

@Palinista I agree 1000%

What is getting me angrier as the days pass is the total bull they are not being called on. Hey parents, teach your boys not to jump people. It's wrong and can get you dead

They could NEVER hold the mirror to themselves and see that when the father introduced the son to marijuana at the age of eleven that he was the primary influence in his child's life.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to equate marijuana with heroin?

I barely remembered this one, so I had to go look up the Crown Heights riots.
