Trayvon Martin case: 'Blacks are under attack,' says Jesse Jackson
Los Angeles Times ^ | March 23, 2012) | Rene Lynch

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said Friday that he's grateful the rest of the country has sat up and taken notice of the tragic slaying of Trayvon Martin. But he can't help but wonder: Why has it taken so long for everyone else to recognize the chronic injustices that African Americans face?

Jessie also said:

‘’There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,’’ Jesse Jackson said several years ago, ‘’than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery — and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.’’

The Alinskyites have had this in the works for years.

If blacks are under attack it is because of their own doing.

Its just you and I.

If Zimmerman were Japanese , the Soros owned Media would have reported his being a white, born again ,Christian, wearing a Sarah Plain T Shirt.

Free Republic and Brietbart ruined their attempt by releasing the guys photo.

I wish someone with more skill than I have would start a thread or a lilst of links of black on white attacks that were ignored by Obama, Jesse and Rev Al. Let’s see how many times they chastized the black perps and called for justice.

US prisons are overflowing with Blacks that have been convicted of killing other Blacks.

The only concern Black leaders express about them - is getting them ballots.

Democrats want the public conversation to be about race, the 1% vs. the 99%, or ANYTHING other than Obama’s record during this disastrous period which began with his immaculation.

We may need Jesse to get a downed flyer his freedom someday. Sharpton? He’s lost weight. Probably unintentional.

Actually it is whites that are under attack.

I will cite just Affirmative Action among MANY examples of this.

Race baiters led by the POTUS, demands of “justice” on the streets, Black Panther wanted posters...

Looks like Zimmerman will be needing to flee the US in order to seek political asylum.

First they came for Zimmerman...

All interracial crime statistics I have seen say that whites are under attack. As far as assaualt rape and murder it is blacks attacking whites and whites attacking blacks very rarely. Do a google search for “the color of crime”

You can see the PDF etc etc..... Essence is that>>>>>>

Of violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. While blacks are only 12% of the population so that interracial crime propensity is even more magnified

There are two/three this week that I read about.

An 85 year old white woman was raped and killed and her 90 year old husband was shot in the face and in critical condition by a black 20 year old thug named Tyrone. And a white boy was set on fire by two black thugs on Tuesday.

Blacks are under attack and have been for decades - by other blacks.

That fact does not fit the meme.

Well Jesse, look at it this way: unless the number of black on white crimes declines radically, you may just be prophetic........
