The N_____ing of Trayvon Martin - by The Rude Pundit (warning offensive)
3/27/2012
The ******ing of Trayvon Martin:
We see this again and again. A black male who captures the imagination of the nation must be degraded by the right. He must be turned into something else, some Other. President Obama can't simply be an educated black man from a lower middle-class background with whom they disagree ideologically. No, he's got to be an enemy, a foreigner, a ******. It's hard to denigrate someone who might be like you, conservatives. But it's easy to attack a ****** because he's just a ******. Or a coon.
When 17 year-old Trayvon Martin was shot dead, the process of transforming him from an average middle-class high school student to a dangerous thug who was asking for it began almost immediately (putting aside the profiling that George Zimmerman did the second he started stalking Martin around their gated community in his SUV). News reports say his body was tagged "John Doe" and held in the morgue for three days. Sorry, race apologists, but if that had been a white child, especially the white child of, say, a Tea Party member, there'd have been a ****ing riot. Or, more likely, it just wouldn't have happened.
.......................
The ******ing of Trayvon Martin works as every ******ing does. It gives conservatives cover for their belief in the innate goodness of guns and the innate badness of anyone non-white who just dresses vaguely gangsta. It gives racists, open and closeted, a reason not to care. It allows them to see him as deserving of some punishment in general: if Zimmerman hadn't killed him, this narrative goes, well, ****, chances are Martin would have been a criminal and better to get it over with now than pay for his incarceration.

Yeah, reality is way more complicated. Or simple, really. If you take "******" out of the equation, you're left with "child."

Just started a little while ago. I really don't know what to say about the Kopy and Pasterson who lives in a gated community.
I did find the statement odd- "A black male who captures the imagination of the nation." How did he capture the imagination of a nation? Could someone please explain that to me?
I am not sure what planet these sick ****s live on, but I wouldn't even use this language and don't know ofany of my conservative friends who even feel any where close to what this writer is saying.
And then there is the misinformation about the body laying in the morgue for 3 days.
My issue here isn't Trayvon. It's a sad case, and I feel that he probably didn't deserve to be shot but I wasn't there. My issue is with thy race baiting coming from the left, my issue is with how this is being used to further the liberal hate agenda, and how our own President uses crap like this to divide us.
And there was the comment if this happened to a kid of a Tea Partier... Yeah ok idiot... I have pulled up several white on black crimes over the last month that no one has even heard about. I can guarantee a tea partier/conservative wouldn't even get a evening news spot.
