Trayvon Martin and Making Whiteness Visible (The acknowledgement of "white privilege")

The spin cycle continuous to ramp up. What these shills for the regime are doing is trying their best to prevent the TRUTH of the trial and the incident from dawning on HISPANICS. You see, Treyvon Martin targeted what he perceived to be an Hispanic man smaller than him and thus more attackable.

St Skittles had not been in the neighborhood long enough to know who George was, personally, so pitiful purple drank dude made the mistake of jumping on George Zimmerman and trying to bash his brains out with a concrete sidewalk. He failed, bigtime.

That a black teen thug-wannabe chose to try and kill an Hispanic man, and that this attitude toward Hispanics is very heavy int he black community is the reality the spin cycle is working to prevent from discussion. The democrips have concluded that the black community is doing such a good job self limiting their population that the Hispanic community stands a good chance of becoming the #2 voting demographic in America. The democrip amnesty scheme is the way the democrips will try to retain power, so the true distain the democrips have for Hispanics must not be discussed openly.

Every time you read or hear that someone wants to 'honor the memory' of Treyvon Martin, aka Saint Skittles, just remember what they are trying to divert attention from, that the true memory of what St Skittle did was try to bash the brains out of an Hispanic man little Treyvon saw as smaller than him, more vulnerable, and most of all Hispanic.

You have a point. Asians and arabs don't like blacks, and local race wars already exist between hispanics and blacks. Their behavior has turned off just about everybody, except for white guilt-ridden liberals.

The sad thing is that there are many good upright black citizens, but they get tarred by the same brush wielded by the race hustlers and the feral urban youths.

I don’t think Blacks get it yet. They’ve already lost their status to Hispanics.

DC knows this, though, obviously.

Hispanics also come from the Napoleonic Code tradition of guilty 1st. Innocent TBD.

DC likes that, too. For us.

"Privileged" as the Leftists use it, implies an undeserved position, or an unearned position. You are using the term, certainly, in an acceptable sense, meaning the benefits of earned achievement; a position where one can afford luxuries, etc..

I do not think that we really have a disagreement on the underlying philosophy.

Of course, you will never see some people really apply themselves--even their limited talents--towards getting ahead. Not everyone has a positive bent. But you would see a vastly greater number, doing so, if the media would stop humoring (& carrying water for) the demagogues who play the Blame & Envy Game.

The whole Trayvon Martin gambit, now being played by the Left is like one of the examples of the Big Lie, endlessly repeated exercises of the Jacobins, Marxists or Nazis, and speaks to something incredibly ugly about their intentions.

You are quite right about the publisher of Time, Life & Fortune. Luce's wife was a Republican Senator, as you will recall, and a featured speaker at Republican Conventions, before she ran for the Senate.

U.S. News was certainly less tabloidy than Time or Newsweek, and its readership was more business oriented. Its circulation, as I recall was somewhat lower than Times', but not really dramatically lower. They simply appealed to a different demographic.

Have you read Unbroken, about Louis Zamplolini, who was also held in a Japanese POW camp?

Such a good book, and really inspiring.

Zampolini is still alive, he’s an amazing man.
