How did Trayvon Martin Mania come to be?
I haven't been following the George Zimmerman trial for a reason. You see, this who racial circus show trial was a creation by the national media and by racial agitators. I refuse to let myself be played. The shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman should have simply been a matter of a local trial without the nation even knowing about it. The only people who should have been connected to the outcome of this trial in Sanford Florida were the families and friends of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman and that's it. I did a video a while back, and I asked a very straight forward question.
What made the shooting death of Trayvon Martin any more important then the countless other deaths of 17 year old black males across this country?
The responses were as I predicted. Blacks were furious that I would dare ask such a question, the reason they were furious was because they couldn't logically answer the question. This has become nothing more then an emotionally racially charged event that never was. Here in Baltimore, 124 black men have been killed so far this year, and this is still only July. Last year in 2012, Baltimore had over 200 murders for the year of young black males.
Of course, the victims who left behind mourning relatives who also wanted justice for their loved ones didn't get the national spot light from the racially obsessed media. No black people were symbolically wearing hoodies and carrying ice tea and skittles for them., Nah, they were merely just a 15 second local nightly news afterthought. The issue of race has proven time and time again to be one of the top three issues in which to bring out the pure foolishness and stupidity of people. This is reality as clear as it gets.
If George Zimmerman was a black guy instead of an Hispanic guy(being passed off as white by the media), and he shot Trayvon Martin in a dispute, the national media and the race baiters would not have ascended onto the small town of Sanford Florida demanding justice.
Lets flip the coin. If George Zimmerman would have shot a white kid by the name of Travis Martin, nobody would care less other then the family and friends involved either, it's just the truth. Those are the real facts that fools don't want to acknowledge, because the real truth is a you know what. I really do not care what the outcome of this trial is going to be. I refuse to get caught up in the phoniness of what this whole trial has become symbolize. It's amazing how so many people are still so gullible to allow themselves to be manipulated by the media when it comes to race. It's like common sense just goes right out the window. A black friend of mine told me that I better be careful in how I discuss my thoughts on Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. He knows that many blacks are ginned up on emotion, and they will not embrace a point of view that isn't 100% Pro Trayvon Martin". He's right. Logic is typically wasted on fools.

You're right when you say that this story was, is and continue to be ginned up by the national media. But isn't that what the media does? The information you posted concerning the 124 shooting in Baltimore, did you get those numbers directly from local law enforcement, or from... THE MEDIA?

Again, it's as you said yourself... THE MEDIA makes it "more important." Just as the greater population, we have broadcast media that's politically and ideologically divided. Both sides are openly clear on which side they stand on the Martin/Zimmerman case. So both sides feed off the media attention. And as much as you may claim that you "haven't been following the George Zimmerman trial", you too have written your opinions and chosen a side. So don't pretend that this case is "not important" to you.
You pointed out that every day young black males are shot by other blacks males. Very true. Yet you neglect to point out that if the person who pulled the trigger is caught, they're charged with a crime.
Many of the shootings that occur here in Detroit are the result of "A FIGHT." Many involve one-on-one confrontations that, quote 'get out of hand.' My point is this... let's say that in Florida every one who shot and killed someone was in possession of a registered firearm and remained at the scene after the shooting. Throw in the circumstances that the incident occurred on a dark street with no direct eye-witnesses. Now let's proclaim exactly what Zimmerman has, and say, "I was in fear for my life." Given the exact same circumstances, and as a supporter of Zimmerman, are you willing to support every one who claims "self defense?" If not, why not?
I had a debate with a black coworker of mine about an off-duty King County (Seattle district) sheriffs deputy who pulled into his driveway, a concerned neighbor was complaining of a couple of black men and a white woman who were in a truck blaring their stereo loud and parked in a private driveway. The deputy went to confront the passengers, and the driver pulled out a gun, and in a split moment the deputy shot him dead. Of course this had outraged the black community (and the media) insinuated that it was "racially motivated", and in protest that members of numerous churches and the Seattle NAACP decided to march out and block traffic in the streets and onto I-5.
Anyway, when my coworker suggested that the deputy shot him for being black, I told him that was the most racist thing for him to say, and I asked him to place himself in the deputy's shoes. He said that he wouldn't shoot; he would try to reason with him. Kind of hard to reason with someone when they're trying to kill you first. I asked him what if the roles were reversed, would he have any complaints? No comment.
It's the same way with the Martin/Zimmerman case. I asked if they were in Zimmerman's situation and what would they do if some guy was pinning them down and beating their skull into the concrete pavement knowing that their life was endangered, would they shoot in self-defense? Like my coworker, they would not shoot, they'll try and "reason" with the person. Huh?
What is it about excuses of not wanting to defend yourself against someone who wants to do serious harm to you or trying to kill you. As a white person, whether if my attacker was black, white, brown, yellow, green or purple, etc. if I was in that similar situation and my life was endanger, I would have no alternatives than to defend myself; even I have to shoot the person. The sad part, I would be traumatized for it for the rest of my life.

Big difference allen. Reread what I wrote. I talked about the "NATIONAL" media not the "LOCAL" media here in Baltimore being the problem. Notice that the story I posted about the murder rate was reported by a local television station about a local problem. The Trayvon Martin shooting by George Zimmerman had no special element to have made it a national story by the national media other then the racial variables of the shooter and victim. Just tell me I am wrong allen.
p allen "Again, it's as you said yourself... THE MEDIA makes it "more important.""
The NATIONAL media made it more important then it was allen.
p allen "" Just as the greater population, we have broadcast media that's politically and ideologically divided."
The national visual media is 95% progressive, there is no division allen. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN are solidly to the left in their reporting. Fox News is the exception.
p allen "Both sides are openly clear on which side they stand on the Martin/Zimmerman case."
There should be no "both sides" except for as it pertains to the families and friends of Zimmerman and Martin. It's nobody else business outside of Sanford Florida.
p allen "So both sides feed off the media attention. And as much as you may claim that you "haven't been following the George Zimmerman trial", you too have written your opinions and chosen a side. So don't pretend that this case is "not important" to you. "
Actually I have not chosen a side nor do I care to do so. I said awhile back that Trayvon Martin was the precious darling that his fake fans cared to make him out to be. Some may have mistaken that for me being "pro Zimmerman", but they taught wrong. Let me ask you this question allen. Why would this trial be important to me? Better yet, why should it be allen? Is it to you and if so why?
p allen "

The racial makeup of the prison systems should tell you that black murderers are being arrested and convicted for their crimes allen, but what does that have to do with Zimmerman or Martin?

I'm a supporter of Zimmerman? Wow, I learn something new everyday. I remember awhile back talking about what happened when people jumped to conclusions regarding the Duke Lacrosse rape trial. I support the facts leading to a conviction or acquittal. This may surprise you, but I believe that Zimmerman should not have been carrying a gun since the role of a neighborhood watch person is to merely report a crime or suspicious behavior. The Guardian Angels are a national neighborhood watch organization and their policy is to never carry guns.

To me, they all are brainwashed fools who want to conveniently ignore what really happened Big Pop. If a suspect pulls a gun on a police officer, that police officer has every right to pull his or her service weapon on the suspect and shoot him or her to neutralize a very potential deadly threat. This scenario leaves nothing to the imagination. Was the person in the truck licensed to have a fire arm? Why did he draw his firearm on the officer? Washington state is a very progressive area, so it's no surprise that the issue of the race of the officer would trump the facts of what happened. For your co worker to say that the motive was racial clearly demonstrates his own racial prejudice. You asked him what if the person in the truck was white and the officer was black and he had no comment. You proved how phony your co worker is Big Pop. In his mind a black police officer couldn't be racist only white ones are. I find it laughable in him saying that he wouldn't have shot if the guy in the truck pulled his weapon on him. When the police orders you to do something, then you do it. There is no "reasoning" like your coworker said he would have done.
I take it you're a mentor for Black kids in Baltimore?
Well the verdict is in. There is no black rioting. Do you think the fact that white people are sick and tired of blacks and will meet any rioting with force has anything to do with it? Does it mean that white people will take back America? Maybe Jim Crow will stop a race war...
Breaking News: George Zimmerman has been acquitted of murder.
Prior to being acquitted, the New Black Panther Party and all other race baiters are instigating a riot and to go out after every white person they can find.
I came across this video, where this gentleman has made an interesting assessment:

Get your head out of the sand Tyrone. So now you're taking a stand against national media for doing what they do? Has the local media in Baltimore ignored and not reported or did stories on the Martin shooting? Do you think they should have ignored the case too?
Get real man. We're living in the "information age." Instant messaging, video and voice communications world wide in real time, and twenty-four seven News cycles. Hell, we've even seen how internet social networking helped bring down a government. Sure, you might not like what the national media does, but the media is going to do what the media does... latch onto, sensationalize, and bring the stories to an outlet and electronic device in your home, car or YOUR PANTS or SHIRT POCKET!
CB;"The racial makeup of the prison systems should tell you that black murderers are being arrested and convicted for their crimes allen, but what does that have to do with Zimmerman or Martin?".
I'm glad you made that statement!!
In your essay you stated this;"What made the shooting death of Trayvon Martin any more important then the countless other deaths of 17 year old black males across this country?".
The answer is as "YOU" stated- because "black murderers are being arrested and convicted for their crimes ". Zimmerman was not arrested until protest's were mounted against the Sanford Police. Unfortunately, tonight we've found that he has been acquitted for killing Trayvon Martin.
Another unfortunate prospect is that, we now know that in the State of Florida (an possibly across the nation) a self styled legally armed vigilant can follow whom ever they please, make contact with the person they're following, become physically overtaken and beaten up, even if their own actions of following (stalking) caused the altercation, and then KILL THAT PERSON and claim "self defense."
The thug lost. America will survive.
Darkstar " take it you're a mentor for Black kids in Baltimore?"
Wow, where have you been hiding Darkstar? Anyways, I've mentored black kids at the Oliver Recreation Center in East Baltimore for a few years. I'm also in the process of creating an entrepreneurship mentorship program to teach young black teenagers to teach them about business and finance. Those that count Darkstar?
Actually crime reports are reported by the FBI in every county, ever year. They're called Uniform Crime Reports. They aren't manufactured media statistics to boost political agendas, or to divide or country, like what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have their hearts set on. Zimmerman might have been excessive but was he willing to risk his life while being beaten to test that? Dont pretend that Trayvon was an angel, all cell phone evidence Adobe could tell you he wasn't, and neither was Zimmerman. I wish America had half the passion for building a better, and a more financialy stable country with job creation and global hegemony like we once use to have. The fact is the jury made their decision, and to insinuate that zimmerman was racially motivated is irresponsible, he used his own money to help youth African Americans to get on the right track. We as a country should be more concerned and rally about the overall violence we commit on each other, not one isolated event, guilty or not guilty. None of us we're there and we'll never know what happened, so if we aren't 100% sure, how could we give any man the death penalty with a clean conscious? Another disturbing fact is that Zimmerman is half Peruvian, yet everyone calls him white, but Obama is half white, yet every says he's black. Tell me how that makes sense. I think we all get lost in what media shoves down or throat, and forget to think for ourselves
The UCR comment was directed towards p. anthony allen, but I'm sure he believes the FBI is a conspiracy to incriminate whatever current value he holds at the moment as well.
zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of six. the media, angela corey and the prosecutor, de la riondo, are still trying the case and calling zimmerman a murderer. many people expected the same outcome as the oj simpson trial. oj was guilty of murdering two people and he walked because otherwise the gangs of los angeles said they would trash the city and there was other fear of repercussions. oj walked and look at that fool today.
