It’s Not That Complicated

Why do you suppose the leftist Media wants so desperately for the entire Zimmerman trial to be about race?

Why do Obama, Holder, Sharpton, and other race baiters consistently cast Trayvon Martin as a victim of a white man with a gun?

How can Eric Holder seriously consider trying Zimmerman for violating Martin’s civil rights?

I find it hard to believe that anybody in the country sincerely believes that this incident had anything to do with race. It is portrayed as such because socialists see that racial division as a necessary tool to further weaken us. The George Zimmerman trial is not, and never was, about race. It’s about socialist goals and the fact that America and all it stands for is in the way.

It’s never been about black vs. white, it’s about socialist statism vs. Freedom.

The left see the growing division between black and white as the biggest, most fruitful iteration of “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. As such, they look for any opportunity to increase it.

Trust Mr. Holder not to let this “opportunity” die. If he can find a way, he will do everything in his power to keep the wound open, by trying Zimmerman for civil rights violations. He is aware, of course, that a thorough FBI investigation about racial motives, conducted prior to Zimmerman being charged with anything, found no evidence of racial motivation on his part. I don’t think he is at all interested in the outcome of a civil rights trial, it is an opportunity to keep the anger fresh. In his mind, it has never been about “justice for Trayvon”.

Trayvon Martin was a victim, no doubt.  He was a victim of the fiction he had been force fed his entire life by the left. All his life he had been given the message that his problems and his fate were established by white racism, and he had no chance for redress, except through violence or through the benevolence of the federal government. 

Al Sharpton’s entire adult life has been dedicated to the furtherance of that fiction. His treatment of this situation is as fraudulent as the entire Tawanna Brawley affair.

The reason Trayvon Martin died was a direct result of the wrong done to him his entire life by the left, not because George Zimmerman was forced to defend himself. Zimmerman did only what he had to do to protect his own life. His actions were legal, and consistent with his moral right and duty to defend himself.

So while the media and DHS wait breathlessly to see whether some kind of full blown national scale riot will ensue, Trayvon Martin’s parents grieve for the loss of their son, and George Zimmerman waits to hear from Mr. Holder.

Progressives wring their hands and demand to know why this is all happening, but the reason is not that complicated. All they need to do is go look in the mirror.
