Emmett Till's Cousin: 'Crying Time Again' in America After Trayvon Verdict
breitbart.com ^ | August 25, 2013 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/25/2013 2:03:03 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

The cousin of Emmett Till said Saturday that it was "crying time again" in America, because George Zimmerman "stalked another American" who was shot and "died like a dog," but a jury found him not guilty.

Speaking at the "Realize the Dream March and Rally" in Washington, Simeon Wright, Till's cousin, said the hearts of his family were broken after Till was lynched for whistling at a white girl in 1955 and recalled how they all cried after his body was found in a river in Mississippi.

He urged those marching on Washington for the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech to find out "who is supporting these bigots" and to boycott their products, in reference to the Trayvon Martin case. He told a story about taping the programs of the "segregationists" and discovering advertisements for Japanese cars on them. He said he would rather buy a skateboard now than a Japanese car.

Wright said the British started to retreat once shots were fired at them—but not those now marching on Washington. He said the first shot fired was at Till, the second at Medgar Evers, and the third at Martin Luther King.

They only WANT TO SEE STRUGGLE against whites. They DON’T WANT TO SEE STRUGGLE against other blacks. That would mean there’s a problem inherent in themselves that only THEY can fix.

More like “sniveling time.” Or “whining time.” Or “let’s-see-how-we-can-use-this-Trayvon-thing-to-extort-mo-money-from-Whitey” time.

The race card died and was buried a long time ago. Now what we have are a bunch of whining black leaders who use race to grab stuff for themselves that they didn’t earn and don’t deserve. Trayvon Martin died because of the ghetto culture which encourages drugs, violence, and anti-social behavior. People like Oprah Winfrey exploit poor blacks when they play the race card but only to grab more stuff for themselves. How much do they care about the blacks stuck in the ghetto? Not at all! Those greedy grabbers have no shame.

Blacks are rapidly losing the sympathy of white Americans due to the overuse of the ‘race card’, setting back race relations 50 years

Wrong word: LOST.

As in, "long ago"...

What is the result? Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims.

My FRiend, Moses, gets it.

The race war has begun.

It did not start with riots in the streets and ash in the skies, as we thought it would.

It started with the word being quietly put out, and now whites are being hunted on the streets by feral blacks.

But the Leftists don’t want you to know it yet. They don’t want you to know there is an obvious, in-your-face race war in progress. They want whites to feel an undertow of dread, to feel powerless and helpless against the black horde that is lurking, waiting inside the urban kraals.

The ever-mounting tide of hate from the Left is frightening people. Fear causes paralysis. And that means inaction, either in preparing for it, or perceiving the reality.

The race was has begun. And the feral blacks are the shock troops.

Translation: No white shall be allowed to defend himself against any assault by a black at any time, place or circumstance. The penalty for such effrontery shall be fine, imprisonment and in most cases death.

That guy couldn’t afford a Japanese car, used, or otherwise. That Oprah made him a celebrity for a few minutes to only fade away like Trayvon hideous looking female friend. Where is Tillman and Oprah when a 88 year old veteran is beaten, robbed, and finally killed; or an Australian baseball player who is shot in the back?

I an afraus you are right. I said it yesterday. This is war. Only a fool would not see it and know it. I sat here last night with my weapon just inches from my hand right here at my keyboard. Rigged stuff to block my doors and windows even though I have deadbolts. You gotta do what you gotta do.

We know from the testimony of Mensa candidate Rachel Jeantel that Saint Skittle’s only intent was to give the “creepy-@$$ crackah rapist” a little “@$$-whooping” and that George Zimmerman “overreacted” to having the snot pounded out of him.

George should have known that Saint Skittles had no intention of killing him, just breaking a few bones. If George had not overreacted and just allowed himself to be beaten, Saint Trayvon would be with us today.

The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments – some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.

1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.

2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.

3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.

4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.

5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.

6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.

7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.

8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.

9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.

10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35

11. ‘GZ is a man and TM was a boy!’ * As if ‘boys’ don’t commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.

Memo to Mr. Simeon Wright: There is no comparison to Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin (aka “St. Skittles”) was a 17 year old thug wannabe who attacked George Zimmerman. While he was pummeling and slamming George Zimmerman's head into the concrete, Zimmerman fired one shot with his Kahr PF-9 pistol and Martin died. Case closed: a clear case of self defense.
Zimmerman did not stalk and kill Martin; Martin stalked and attacked Zimmerman. Martin died because he was a stupid thug. Deal with it.

MSNBC host Craig Melvin allowed the slanderous myth spewed by Mr. Wright to air unchallenged. Melvin was either too stupid or he was intentionally buttressing the MSNBC agenda that Martin was an innocent baby gunned down by an evil “white Hispanic”.

I wonder what would happen if I, a suicidal white man, were to walk up to a black couple and say to the woman, “Hey, baby, you lookin’ pretty good! In fact, VERY good! Perfect, I should say. Turn around so I can see the whole you. Just what I was looking for. What say just you and I go off and do something together, if you know what I mean? Tell your friend he’ll have to wait and you’ll see him tomorrow.”

Let’s say the black man has a handgun. No one else is around.

What’s going to happen?

To use an old quote from Antiquity:

To whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.

American blacks have taken the road to Destruction. It is to us that we don't let them carry us along with them...
