Trayvon Martin -- Victim Of Bias & Gun-Toting Vigilantism

I wish to bring another dimension to the discussion of this tragedy, and point out how it helps spread and inflict additional distress upon Trayvon's family (Black folks more generally).



For example, an important point was made by "Autismmonx4" (in response to my earlier comment) who said:



"ZIMMERMAN SELF-IDENTIFIES AS WHITE."



YET, "Electra001" responded by refusing to acknowledge this fact. Rather insisted on Zimmerman being A "MINORITY" in order to change the subject and exonerate Conservative white-s/prmcy as follows:



"but let's address minority on minority racial tensions. Of course, the blame on conservative talk radio hosts and "white privilege" argument kind of goes out the door, don't you think?"



THAT's an example of the deceitful techniques I spoke of - it's the equivalent of how Breitbart used DOCTORED VIDEOS (and resulting transcripts) to spread FALSE portrayals/narratives, except in this case its a DOCTORED IDENTITY - making Zimmerman out to be something that even HE does not identify with, i.e. BEING A "MINORITY/HISPANIC." Why? So "Electra001" AND other Conservatives can attempt to divert attention away from the "role of Conservative talk show hosts" and "discussion of white-s/prmecy/privilege."



That is a milder yet equally deceptive version of what White Conservatives are doing around the blogosphere, i.e., spreading DOCTORED PHOTOS of TRAYVON and/or negatively profiling them to falsely portray him as "sinister," "threatening," deserving of the treatment he received, and inflict more distress on the family.
