Judging Racism Accurately

 We’ve all seen in the news recently that an unarmed seventeen year old African American was shot and killed.  People all across the country are screaming racist, when most don’t even have the details that are available, let alone the details that are impossible to ascertain for sure.  They don’t know that before the shooting, Zimmerman had called 911 to report Martin suspiciously following wandering the neighborhood, checking out the houses.  They don’t know that Zimmerman was the Neighborhood Watch Captain, and that their neighborhood had a few break ins lately.  They don’t know that Zimmerman claims that Martin attacked him.  They don’t know the police say that all available evidence is completely consistent with their story.  They don’t even know that Zimmerman was half Hispanic.  All they know is that Zimmerman has a Caucasian name, and that Martin was black.  They have no other details, and yet they are right there to crucify him.
                On the night in question, Zimmerman made a 911 call when he saw what he perceived to be suspicious behavior.  As the Neighbor Watch Captain, that was his job.  What he saw was someone in a hoodie following him, and watching him.  It seemed as though Martin was casing the neighborhood.  So he called 911.  The recording for this call is available at http://www.orlandosentinel.com/videogallery/68871920/News/George-Zimmerman-911-call-reporting-Trayvon-Martin.  The neighborhood had recently a few break ins, so the call was the right thing to do.  Zimmerman did at one point during this call quietly, and under his breath, utter a slur, which some speculated to be be “f***ing c***s”, but experts who have analyzed the recording believe it to have been “f***ing punks”.  It is very difficult to make out what he said either way, but I tend to go with the experts that know what they’re doing on this one.  After the call, Zimmerman claims that he lost track of Martin, and turned around to go home.  As he was doing so, Martin allegedly approached him from behind. “The two exchanged words, Zimmerman said, and Martin punched him, jumped on to of him, and began banging his head on a sidewalk.  Zimmerman said he began crying for help; Martin’s family things it was their son who was crying out.  Witness accounts differ, and emergency tapes in which the voices are heard are not clear.”
                Since the incident, so called “civil rights activists” have been calling for the arrest of Zimmerman, despite all evidence pointing to self-defense.  Some groups are inciting riots, and calling for his death.  Some groups are inciting riots, and calling for his death.  Spike Lee has published his address on Twitter, and urged his supporters to repost it.  Lee’s supporters have been inciting violence, and calling for his death.  This man is painted as a racist, and so are those that stand in his defense.  The New Black Panthers also call for his death, though this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as they are the most notoriously racist group in the country.  All of these people are calling out for the arrest of a man who has no clear evidence against him.  His only crime that we can know for sure is having a white father.  This is the definition of racism.  They want to condemn this man because of his race.  They know nothing else for sure, but because he has a white father, he must be guilty.
                If these people want to find racism, they only need to look into a mirror.  They’re recreating some of the atrocities during the pre-civil rights era.  At that time, if a black man was accused of rape or murder, he was immediately condemned for it.  These activists are right when they claim that these problems still exist today, but they themselves are the culprits.  I titled this post “Judging Racism Accurately”, because I intend to show just how to do this.  Racism is a hate for one race over another.  Treating one race as inherently good, and another as inherently bad.  Today’s society believe racism to be when a white man does something negative to a black man, or other minority, regardless of motivation.  Many still believe that an unfavorable opinion of the president is blatant racism.  Before you cry racist, you must actually analyze the situation. You must make sure that you have some real evidence that this is the case.  You can’t just go in looking for racism.  I call Spike Lee racist, because he has expressed his desire to go killing white people.  He actually says racist things.  He’s stated that he’s against interracial marriages.  He has stated that he hates white people.  I call the New Black Panthers racist because they publicly call for the deaths of white babies.  I call the Aryan Nations racist, because they call for the segregation, and the deaths of blacks.  I don’t call Zimmerman racist, because all we know is that he had an altercation with an African American that ended fatally.  We have no evidence that the motivation was racist.  There is speculation, but no actual evidence.  To accuse someone of racism is on the heaviest accusations there are, and this accusation should not be taken lightly.

***EDIT***


Having done additional research since my previous post, it became clear a great many more points were missed. I told you before that there was no evidence that Zimmerman was racially motivated.  Did you know that he also did volunteer work, which included tutoring neighborhood kids, many of whom were black?  Does this sound like a racist killer?

With our mainstream media the way it is, as well as special interest groups, and maggots like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, racism is searched for.  Aggressively. So aggressively, in fact, that three college lacrosse players were metaphorically hung after being accused of raping a black stripper.  A black stripper, who in the ended, was proven to have been lying.  The kids were painted as monsters, even though through the entire case, there was no evidence that this crime was committed.  Prosecutors even tried to dispute the reliability of DNA.  Everything pointed to her lying.  Unfortunately for them, she was black, and they were white, so they were therefore guilty in the eyes of the media.  So they painted them as monsters.  In the end, they were proven innocent.  These kids had mobs outside their homes.  Their pictures were posted all over campus calling them racist rapists.  They received countless death threats. All because of an irresponsible media jumping on race.  I myself received criticism in my own school for daring to point out the facts, and the unlikeliness that they were guilty.

In some of the 911 calls that were made by neighbors, there is a voice in the background screaming for help.  It is too unclear to determine for sure whether it was Martin screaming, or Zimmerman.  Martin's parents claim that it was Martin.  That's what they claim now, anyway.  His father originally told the lead detective that  it was not his son's voice.  He changed his story later.  An eyewitness even gave a detailed account, saying that he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman, pounding him.  There is no eyewitness claiming anything different.  Logic would suggest that to shoot a kid who has been screaming for a decent amount of time with no cause, surrounded by houses, would be a really stupid idea.  Not something likely to have been done by a Neighborhood Watch Captain, corrupt or not.  It makes no sense.  In the police report, Zimmerman's nose was bleeding, and his back was covered in grass stains.  Unless he broke his own nose, banged his own head against the sidewalk, and rubbed his back in the grass without being seen, it's pretty likely that this story is true.

Although this is not evidence to anything, it should be pointed out that no recent photos of Martin have been posted.  I thought myself that it didn't look like a 17 year old that could take down a 26 year old man.  It turns out that the reason for this is because these aren't pictures of a 17 year old that could take down a 26 year old man, but a 12 year old that grew into 6 foot tall, 160 pound 17 that most certainly could take down a 26 year old man, provided he had more experience in a fight than a 26 year old contributing member of society likely would.  Why is it that no recent photos have been provided?  Manipulation.  The mainstream media that has searched long and hard for any reason to stir up a tornado of racism at any cost only shows pictures that tug the heart strings.  How could this child be guilty of this?  I myself, as skeptical as I was, had difficulty looking at these photos.  This doesn't make him innocent.  After all, Hitler was probably a cute little toddler at one time.  Not to say that Trayvon Martin was comparable to Hitler in any way, I have no reason to think that.  But just because he was once a cute little 12 year old doesn't make him a victim.

The mainstream media has reported all of their unproven speculation as indisputable facts.  Even Bill O'Reilly doesn't seem to question that Zimmerman's original suspicion of Martin was racially motivated, despite the fact that we have absolutely no reason at all to believe that race was a factor.  At all.  It's speculation by people searching for racism like in a way that a broke Charlie Sheen might search his white carpet for cocaine.  So many times they were wrong, but it doesn't matter.  They keep on firing in hopes of hitting a guilty person.
