I never understand why isolated cases like Trayvon or Michael Brown bring out wailing about black men being gunned down and all that, when the same protesters about these cases have nothing to say about the black youth gangs who have laid waste to parts of many major cities. And these black gangs mostly shoot and kill other black men.
From media coverage, you would swear that the biggest threat to black men is a white Hispanic neighborhood watch man with a gun, or a white policeman with a gun. When in fact, the biggest threat to black men is other black men with guns.
George Zimmerman was quickly chosen as a poster boy for racism based on his name. The Race Grievance Industry thought that a white Jew shot a black and quickly mobilized to capitalize on it. By the time the media mentioned that Zimmerman was an Hispanic it was too late to retreat.
If his name had been Jose Zapata instead of George Zimmerman no one would have ever heard of him or Trayvon Martin.
