Most of these race-baiter types know exactly what the deal is and only spew their nonsense for public consumption by idiots. But there are a few, like Mr. Pitts, who are stupid enough to really believe it.
The urban black thug is most definitely a “cliche” but many thousands of black Americans are murdered by this “cliche” every year.
It's more than a cliche. It describes a very real prominent culture within African-Americans, and is limited to that population because it is a racist culture, insisting to identify their race with criminality.
The Trayvon death wasn't 'unfortunate'.
There was a time in a God-fearing and worshiping America when a person thought, then acted to try to physically assault with intent to murder was worthy of immediate capital punishment. Innocent bystanders would have been in many cases obliged to execute deadly force in the defense of the victim to halt a murder in progress.
Instead, criminals today perceive the judicial system as a mechanism to enforce the freedom of all people to behave criminally, instead of defending the freedom of those who respect legitimate authority.
Never were our rights identified to condone criminality. Those who refuse to discern between right and wrong, inheriting our governance of rights, are led to confuse the rights of the righteous with freedom to behave criminally.
