Hispanic or not, we're all Trayvon Martin
Fox News Latino ^ | July 16, 2013 | Jesús Iñiguez

Posted on 07/17/2013 10:22:38 AM PDT by logi_cal869

(snip) The interesting thing about this entire Trayvon vs. Zimmerman is the way that Latinos swayed on the circumstances of this trial. The vast majority of our Presente.org members felt that the ruling was shocking and unjust. But some of our members were upset that, as a Latino organization, we were not publicly “siding” with Zimmerman (who is of Peruvian decent), hence failing the Latino community. Others felt that the killing of a black boy was not something that we should discuss on our social media platforms, demanding instead that we don’t steer from solely focusing on “Latino issues and interests.”

(snip) We are all Trayvon. We are all Jose Antonio. And living with a system that serves to protect the interest of one gun-owner over the life of one young black boy is a system that will continue to perpetuate the status quo of white supremacy upon all people of color.

Wonder if he will feel the same when someone of African extraction grounds and pounds him?

Siding with Zimmerman simply because of his Peruvian background is like a Latino voter trusting Ted Cruz with their vote in the hopes that he stands for Latino politics because of his surname. (Are you kidding me?!)

That's all I had to read to know where this is going. And I shouldn't be surprised. For the good of the broader aggrieved community, Zimmerman isn't really a "Latino." Just like Ted Cruz, he's really one of those evil "white" oppressors. Ergo, its OK for Latinos to hate him and side with blacks on wanting his head.

Getting beaten like that does not trigger the “I deserve it” part of you. Unless you are too far gone mentally, that is. Sr. Iñiguez would pull the trigger too and become another Jorge.

The author has outed himself as a federal operative. His Hispanic/Chicano connections had beeter be very careful what they allow him to know ... what a fool, to take the government’s pay and pretend to be something he is not, then out himself over this thug wannabe who tried to beat to death an Hispanic man. And don’t tell me that Traytable did see that Zimmerman is Hispanic!

Zimmerman’s lawyer, in coordination with the media, also had ample opportunity to smear the names and characters of key witnesses based on speculation, misinformation, and fear.

Wait, the media worked in conjunction with Zimmerman's lawyers to orchestrate a campaign of misinformation and speculation? Really? My Lord, what bizarro world is this poor lad living in?

Jesus Iniguez co-founded, Dreamers Adrift, an online media project by undocumented youth and for undocumented youth. We’re a small contingent of DREAMers from various backgrounds who come together to explore and dissect our experiences as undocumented college graduates, as well as the various intersectionalities of our identities and how the undocumented experience impacts these other personal identities.

And he wasn,t cutting through back yards, he was “skulking around in the neighborhood” looking for something to steal.

Even though his death ,,, tragic, it probably saved lives.
Travon the punk Martin was, sooner than later, going to kill somebody.

I guess the beat down didn’t go as he planned.

If I had a president, he (unfortunately) would act like Travon, a bleeping punk!

I don’t assault people so no I am not TM.

Unfortunate what this illegal alien wrote is what I hear blacks say and it ignores the physical assault completely.

Being purposely ignorant to advance a false narrative and promote a victim mentality.

Zimmerman’s Peruvian background didn’t change the fact that he left his vehicle in pursuit of Martin after the 911 operator told him to stay put. It didn’t change the fact that Zimmerman noticed Trayvon simply because he was a black kid wearing a hoodie at the wrong place and at the wrong time.

Where did this moron get his "facts"?

Zimmerman left his vehicle after the 911 operator told him not too? Zimmerman noticed Trayvon simply because he was a black kid wearing a hoodie? At the wrong place yes, he appeared to be looking into back windows. At the wrong time yes, it was dark, raining and the lights were off inside the homes.

This moron is trying to join the aggrieved loser minorities hate whitey club when it is none of his business.

Another point to my posting this:
Latinos are being manipulated (like blacks) and the media is perpetuating this.

Need I point out this is FOX News “Latino”???

Even though this is Fox News Latino I don't view this kid's inane ramblings of being representative of the Latino view. Instead, it's straight Cultural Marxism pounded into his head during college which, based on his picture, he may still be in. Take for instance...

"Therein lies the issue that draws tangents between the black and brown experience in the United States.... a system that will continue to perpetuate the status quo of white supremacy upon all people of color."

Translation: Browns should side with blacks to topple whites.

Straight Cultural Marxism. This child's parents should file a lawsuit against the university for destroying this young man's brain.

I maintain that I am not Trayvon Martin, nor have I ever been Trayvon Martin, and have no plans to become Trayvon Martin. I have impeccable credentials and witnesses that attest to this.

As further proof, I am required to be alive in order to type this post, and Trayvon Martin is certified as deceased.

I must admit, though, that this mistaken identity is all too common, and it’s becoming quite a hassle to me. I’m thinking of taking out one of those full page ads in the NYT to set the record straight.
