To The Race-Baiters: Now You Have Problems

"You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked an outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual that stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church]goers to get out of church so that he could hand them fliers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8th, 2011 at Sanford City Hall?? That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN. Ironic isn’t it?

Ironic?

No.

What has happened here is, if this letter verifies, borders on criminal.

The race-baiters including Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and probably President Obama himself had to know that this was the case, or could have discovered it with any sort of diligent inquiry, which they willfully and intentionally did not perform.

It makes an abject mockery of NBC and their alleged "news coverage", not to mention the rest of the so-called "media" that not only rushed to judgment but seized upon the idea of "whitey slays black man" when the narrative didn't even fit as Zimmerman is Hispanic, and when that was pointed out they simply changed it to "white hispanic" so as to keep the lie alive.

To those who charge that Zimmerman was somehow "in the pocket" of law enforcement due to his father being an ex-judge, you've got problems now too. If anything the local gendarme would want to see Zimmerman get railroaded and go straight to prison as he was all over the local cop shop just over a year previous!

That even with this obvious and clear bias against Zimmerman in the local police department they were unable to devise probable cause to hold him speaks volumes to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

The letter concludes with:

You will not be the only recipient of this letter. I am going to scream as loud about this as the NAACP has against "racist" George. There will be a press release with a copy of this letter mailed to the media but I am going to give you a head-start in doing the right thing. The actions of the NAACP on this will help the world decide whether your organization is in fact racist or if it is for the greater good of society.
I will not be providing my name because all of our family is in hiding and frankly scared by the threats from the black community. If you feel the need to respond I will see this in the media (if you do the right thing) and I will be happy to provide more details showing how wrong you really are. I will not remain anonymous after the outcome of this case is determined. There are going to be a lot of people that need to be held accountable for their rush to judgment.

To those politicians, would-be politicians (that is, candidates) and officers of various political organs that have tried to argue the race-based position on this issue, you better be thinking long and hard about this. If this letter is authentic you owe the public both retractions and apologies, and that debt is due right here and now.

To the media: If this letter proves up you can expect me to form up with other fair-minded people and start organizing boycotts of your advertisers. And yeah, I'll do it and I'll mean it. If this letter is true you are the worst sort of bastards and you all deserve to go out of business. To the extent I can help that along I will do exactly that.

This is especially true for any media outlet that ran edited or intentionally misleading photographs, 911 calls or anything else related to this story.

Those who actually are fair-minded ought to be trying to vet this letter right here and now, and if it proves up, I expect the formal, on-air and written apologies to start flowing.

For political candidates, officers and office-holders I will accept nothing less than resignations.

I will accept neither quarter or excuse on this if the letter below proves up.

Capeman Posts: 3703 Incept: 2007-07-12 San Diego	If this were to actually get going in the media there will be no apologies. It may hopefully stop the bigotry and quiet down the protests but you will never get an apology from Obama, Sharpton, Jackson or the media outlets. That's the kind of character being dealt with and they will just silently wait for the next race-baiting opportunity that comes along to pile on to. ---------- "I believe all God's creatures have a soul... except bears, bears are Godless killing machines!" - Steven Colbert 2012-04-02 21:27:30 Permalink

Standby Posts: 1005 Incept: 2009-08-06	Even if there was an apology (which there won't be), there will always be some tard who didn't get or didn't remember the news who will want to pop off Zimmerman. This must be a test case for the Obama team to see just how far they can push their agenda in the face that everything is wrong in the hype presented. They'll see how they can not purvey the news and then take another poll. Keep 'em dumb and passive. Last modified: 2012-04-02 21:58:21 by standby 2012-04-02 21:57:21 Permalink

Bikemechanic Posts: 608 Incept: 2008-09-25 31415	Jesse as far as I can tell did not bring up Trayvon today. Here is a snip of something published a day ago Quote: Weekend Edition Mar 30-Apr 01, 2012 18 Trayvon Martin's Death Must Respark the Movement It’s Time to Revive the Civil Rights Movement by Rev. JESSE JACKSON We mourn Trayvon Martin, the young African American who, armed only with candy and a soft drink, was shot dead for the offense of “walking while black.” George Zimmerman, the vigilante who shot him, has not been arrested, apparently protected by Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which “authorizes” anyone to shoot someone whom he or she feels is threatening. This surely is a test of our faith. Faith, the Bible tells us, is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For decades, African Americans risked their lives if they walked in certain neighborhoods. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., however, had a different dream. And he helped build a movement to achieve the “substance of things hoped for.” Now we must choose: We will decide if Trayvon Martin’s death is a moment, or becomes the spark for a movement. We can’t bring him back. But we can make his voice louder in death than it could be in his short life. ON 4-4-2012, 44 years ago. MLK was shot by a white man. watching the news cycle to see what/if a response is offered if that letter proves out is going to be interesting.

Perhaps, but it certainly wasn't James Earl Ray. Not even MLK's family believes that. ---------- "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees" 2012-04-03 01:06:52 Permalink
Templar223 Posts: 779 Incept: 2008-04-28 Champaign, IL	Poor race-baiters are getting their just desserts. If Trayvon comes up under the influence of recreational pharma in his blood tox, they're really gonna be in trouble. The consensus among many is that the MSM has lost further credibility in their sensationalist reporting of this righteous shooting as some sort of racist conspiracy. AND next Monday the New Black Panthers are slated to have some sort of "Day of Action" or some such silliness. I think the Panthers are more like pussies. I do keep an extra couple of mags handy for rogue cats, though, although I think I have a better chance of winning the lottery than being attacked by NBPs.

Joejohns Posts: 694 Incept: 2010-09-09 Banned	Speaking of min effort at research, seems that case lends even more weight to the charge that this set of LEO have had serious problems for some time....huh imagine that. http://www.wftv.com/news/news/cops-son-a.... Oh and one wonders why Zim felt he had to organize those poor thugs and darkies since it seemed the NAACP (organized or not) seems to have brought plenty of pressure all by their thugish self. Maybe he should have organized the Hispanics and/or whites, seems those racist thugs of the NAACP already had their act together. "Bottom line, we didn't do our job that night," said Cpt. Jerry Hargrett of the Sanford Police Department. Now seven officers, including a sergeant and a lieutenant, will face an internal review for not making an arrest after suspicion of a felony. Tooley couldn't be reached for comment, but at the end of an interview with WFTV last Thursday, he joked he could be asked to take retirement sooner than he planned." Wow, that is some harsh penalty there................. "Tooley will still serve as a consultant and collect his $116,000 a year salary until the end of April. His benefits and pension are also intact." p.s. given the optics of this deal , no LEO then would have wanted to be on the wrong end of this. The claim of LEO backlash against Zim thus falls apart.
