TWO STORIES, BLACK AND WHITE ENDINGS

STORY 1, SANFORD, FL

It’s all over the news today, the case of George Zimmerman, a self-styled neighborhood watchman, who shot Trayvon Martin, a Florida teenager. Zimmerman was patrolling his
Sanford neighborhood and observed Martin. Zimmerman’s story is that he approached martin, asked him a question, and then he returned to his SUV when he was attacked from behind by Martin. He says Martin decked him with a single punch, repeatedly smashed his head on the ground and tried to take Zimmerman’s gun. That’s when Zimmerman shot Martin. According to the police report Zimmerman’s back was wet and covered with grass “as if he had been laying on his back on the ground.” The report indicates Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head. Zimmerman says he was yelling for help but no one would help him. Now a witness has come forward who corroborates Zimmerman’s version of the event. Zimmerman has not been arrested pending a full investigation.

In the meantime, the police chief has been threatened and has been forced to resign. Governor Jeb Bush is being blamed because he signed Florida's Stand Your Ground Law. Obama weighed in saying "It's a time of soul searching for all of us" and stating "My son would look like Trayvon Martin." What the heck does that mean?

Every minority group in this country is calling for the arrest of Zimmerman, and some are calling for his death. Spike Lee has retweeted Zimmerman's home address, and Zimmerman has been forced to flee his home. The Black Panthers have put out a call to collect a million dollar bounty for Zimmerman. Activists Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP's Ben Jealous, Baltimore Raven's Ray Lewis and basketball legend Patrick Ewing have jumped on the arrest-Zimmerman bandwagon, and politicians are demanding "justice" for Trayvon.


The police are looking at the events, and this will surely go to a Grand Jury to determine if a crime was committed. But even if Zimmerman is found to have acted in self defense, he has already been convicted in a public venue. His life is shot. He won’t be able to return home. He’s a “racist.”

STORY 2, KANSAS CITY, MO

A white boy sits in a classroom in a predominantly black school. Karla Dorsey, a black teacher, asks a question about Black History Month. When Allen, the white boy, attempts to answer it the teacher tells him, “What would you know about it? You’re not our race.” Ashley, a white female student, attends the same school. Ashley and Allen are the only two white students in the classroom. Ashley has been subjected to racial harassment, has been called names, has been subjected to sexual comments and inappropriate sexual touching while the black teacher looked on and laughed.


The class had to watch race-baiting videos during which an onus was placed on the white students. The videos consisted of explicit films involving portrayals of whites lynching blacks and the teacher telling the class that all white people are responsible because their skin is white. Ashley has stated that she witnessed Allen being “called every racial slur you can imagine,” such as “honkey, cracker, whitey, and guero (a Spanish derogatory term). Ashley reports that she saw Allen pushed into lockers and jumped and slapped around in the bathrooms. He was menaced by groups that would follow him home.

Even worse is that multiple educators were complicit in the harassment. A teacher named Kinder called Allen “Casper” and then “got all the students to get involved.” Ashley says that other times students would initiate the harassment and the teachers would pick up the baton, teasing Allen, making fun of him.

And this brings us to why this is STORY 2.

Last week two black students followed Allen home, threw gas on him and then flicked the Bic, starting Allen on fire saying, “This is what you deserve. You got what you deserve, white boy.” A racial attack? Not much question about that, but where’s the press? Where’s the ACLU, where’s Spike Lee, where are the Black Panthers and the Politicians? Where are the mouthy black activists, the sports stars? And where is Mr. Barack Obama? Why doesn’t Allen deserve some presidential support? Maybe because Allen is White?

This Kansas City school has been teaching Hate 101 and has been getting away with it. Allen’s mother repeatedly complained to the school’s administration about her son’s harassment only to be ignored and stonewalled. She also complained to Kansas City law enforcement but got the feeling they did not want to prosecute two black youths on a hate-crime charge for fear of creating a “powder keg.” So how does that work when the police are afraid of the public? It doesn't.

What other recourse does Allen’s mom have? Well, she could file a complaint with the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. This is certainly a Civil Rights violation. But wait, Eric Holder. Well, forget that one.

OBAMA'S AMERICA - ANOTHER OPINION

BELOW IS A LETTER THAT APPEARED IN THE KNOXVILLE NEWS SENTINEL. THIS LETTER IS MISTAKENLY BEING CREDITED ON THE INTERNET TO THOMAS SOWELL. IT APPEARS IT WAS WRITTEN BY JACK FURNARI. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. IT IS HERE BECAUSE HIS WORDS ARE IMPORTANT AND ALL TOO TRUE.

The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing, pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly. It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.

It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.

It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.

Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America.

THE CHARADE GOES ON

Well, here we are days after Bin Laden has been eliminated, and the Obama Charade goes on. Oh, he did it all by himself, he and his cabinet, they chased BL down and got rid of him. What a joke! I give all the credit to our incredible military, the Special Ops and especially the Navy Seals who risked their lives to get 'er done.

Obama?? Here are some facts: Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder throws out prosecuting the Black Panthers who illegally intimidated voters in the 2008 election. We all saw the video on TV. It was blatant illegal activity at a polling place. And Holder won't touch them. But wait - Holder is pursuing a number of CIA agents who were responsible for the interrogation that provided the intelligence about the location of the gopher hole Bin Laden was stashed in. These agents performed the interrogation after getting absolute, total clearance from the Justice Department, which concluded their actions were lawful. These same CIA officers have already been cleared of any wrongdoing. The investigations had been closed for 2 years with no charges filed. But enter Holder and Obama - they are going to get the CIA one way or another. and the charade goes on.

Within 2 days of being sworn into office Obama banned all interrogation techniques other than what is contained in the Army Field Manual, which is basically nothing. So he banned the exact techniques that so successfully obtained crucial information about Bin Laden's whereabouts. Two-faced??

To further hamper our intelligence efforts the Obama administration released previously classified Justice Department documents on our interrogation techniques, thereby disclosing them to our enemies and ensuring that they could never be used again, at the same time putting the lives of our CIA officers in jeopardy. And they did it without hesitation.

Obama turned interrogation of enemy combatants over to the FBI, taking it away from the CIA, but did not put any "new" policies in place, so the FBI's hands are basically tied when it comes to interrogation. They are currently under orders not to interrogate.

Now the White House, the CIA and National Security people can't agree on whether or not the enhanced interrogation methods used by the three CIA "criminals" was effective and led to Bin Laden. Are they kidding??

Oh, don't forget about the pictures of a bloody Bin Laden. Obama doesn't want to release them because they might incite violence against our troops. Now wait a minute, Mr. Obama. Have you forgotten when you PUSHED for release of over 2000 pictures of the alleged "abuse" of the enemy by their jailers at Abu Ghraib? You were warned then not to release them because they might inflame Muslims and cause retaliation against our troops. But you released them anyway. You didn't give a hoot about our troops then, so don't try to convince us you care about them now. There is only one reason you won't release the BL death photos - it's because you are so sensitive and respectful of Islam and the Muslims. Wouldn't want to insult them, now would we? They behead Christians whenever they want to, but golly, don't show bloody Bin Laden pictures. It might hurt their feelings and it wouldn't be Politically Correct. It doesn't matter to me whether you release them or not. But it would be nice if you were truthful about why you are saying no.

And tell me, Mr. O., why do you permit publishing photos of flag draped coffins of American dead returning home? Aren't you concerned that those photos might insight more violence against our troops?

Your actions are contradictory. You say you "don't want to spike the football" or "give out trophies," yet you are all over the place "spiking the football" and "giving out trophies." The only pronoun you know is I, I, I, I, I -- It wasn't you, Mr. O. It was the Navy Seals and our military--the best trained military force in the world. If you had been in charge of this country in 2007 the information spigot would have been turned off, as it was in 2008 after you were elected. For the last two years and going forward now? No interrogation allowed, Miranda rights must be given, try them in civil courts, close GITMO, hold their hands and sing Kumbaya, and the CIA, FBI and the rest of the intelligence community is demoralized. Thank you, Mr. O.!

I will give you credit for giving the Seals the green light. For once, an intelligent national security decision from you. Though I suspect you decided you had to play ball. If you had said no and the public found out you said no, that would be the end of your second term. I believe it's called "political expediency."
