What about murders closer to home? [Black columnist points out hypocrisy]

The shooting death of a black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a white/Hispanic George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla., has caused a national fury... I have to offer this assessment about Sanford, social activists and others jettisoned into this Florida fray: Will blacks in America ever show anger and disgust for our murders, the black-on-black killings that permeate most urban cities, our disdain for life, our acceptance for thugs, gang members, etc.?

Philadelphia has chalked up 80 murders in 2012, just about one a day, almost like downing a multivitamin tablet.

Don’t forget your murder. Now go out and make this a wonderful day in the City of Brotherly Love.

If Zimmerman the “white hispanic” was black this would not even have made the 6:00 news.

The socialist democrat frauds in the MSM only told the racist story of the shooting as usual. They failed to identify the shooter because he was HISPANIC. That bucket won’t hold to much water for the pathetic scammers like SHARPTON and FARAKHAN to spread their RACIST HATRED and JEALOUSY OF WHITIE. FARAKHAN, who are you going to retaliate on you 4’ racist runt HISPANICS or YOUR PREFERRED TARGET whitie. Obama only fans this type of hatred because he thinks just like SHARPTON and FARAKHAN. Nov. 2012 can’t come soon enough to push these socialist frauds back into whatever hole they crawled out of.

There’s also the issue of black on white hate crimes, such as the one in Kansas City where a 13 year old was doused with gas and set alight by two black teens. They said “You deserve what you get, white boy.” That is the attitude of this administration, and of the “Grand Wizard of the Jay-D,” Mr. Holder. This country should be colorblind by now, but it isn’t because we have an administration which wants revenge for past wrongs. Obama must be kicked to the curb for this and many other reasons.

As a former native of SoCal, I can say with certainly that you can indeed tell when a person is Hispanic. You could be no such thing as “profiling” if this were not true.

Another thing. At first the headlines read “white neighborhood watch captian kills unarmed black teen.” Then after we learned he was Hispanic, the inflammatory racial angle became muted, only to rise again in the description of Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic.” If Zimmerman had been the victim of a white man, it would have read “white neighborhood watch captain kills unarmed Latino.” In the crime stats, Zimmerman will go down as a “white” perpetrator and if he were the victim he’d be placed in the “Hispanic” column. These creative statistical categories do nothing but inflame minorities against whites. That is the last thing we need in this country, more racial division.
At times like this, I miss Andrew Breitbart even more. He understood and was leading us to take back this country through cultural revolution.

I’ve lived in Southern California and South Texas. You can tell, often, when a person is Mexican or Central American or descended from them. They typically have brown skin, dark hair and eyes, and Indian features. (The higher classes in those countries are sometimes of pure European descent, but they are rarely found among immigrants to the United States.)

However, many Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and South Americans have none of those features ... yet they are “Hispanic.” Other Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and others have African features, yet they are “Hispanic.”
