Justice for Trayvon??

The most poisonous untruth being peddled in the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal is the claim that American justice is racist. The criminal law regularly announces that black Americans are “worth less than other Americans,” Cardozo Law School professor Ekow Yankah wrote on the New York Times opinion page this week. It wasn’t activists who “injected” race into the discussion, scoffed The American Prospect’s Jamelle Bouie on Monday, the “criminal-justice system” is “already” racial. An e-mail alert on Wednesday from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School proclaimed: “An ugly truth rears its head again: Racial disparities are alive and well in our criminal-justice system.”

The idea that the criminal-justice system discriminates against blacks — and that this bias explains blacks’ disproportionate presence in custody — is a staple of civil-rights activism and of the academic Left. Every effort to prove it empirically, however, has come up short. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases from the country’s 75 largest urban areas discovered that blacks actually had a lower chance of prosecution following a felony than whites did and that they were less likely to be found guilty at trial. Alfred Blumstein has found that blacks are underrepresented in prison for homicide compared with their arrest rates. A meta-analysis of charging and sentencing studies showed that “large racial differences in criminal offending,” not racism, explained why more blacks were in prison proportionately than whites and for longer terms, according to criminologists Robert Sampson and Janet Lauritsen.

Criminal-law professors across the political spectrum agree that the Zimmerman verdict resulted from prosecutorial overkill, not juror bias. The trial was scrupulously fair and presented the prosecution with full opportunity to make its case.

Close on the heels of the “biased justice system” conceit, however, is the preposterous implication that the primary homicide threat faced by young black males comes from honorary whites such as George Zimmerman. “Our children are targeted. Our community is targeted,” Martin Luther King III told the NAACP national convention on Wednesday. Protesters at the Orlando, Fla., courthouse this week held signs proclaiming “Endangered species: young black men and boys.” The New York Times ran an article today about the “painful talks” black parents are having with their children about how not to get gunned down by whites. A nurse’s assistant in Missouri told the Times: The whole situation ‘“would just make me skeptical about what crowd of white people I put [my son] around.’”

In fact, if a black parent wants to radically reduce his son’s chance of getting shot, he should live in a white neighborhood. New York’s crime profile is typical of urban-crime disparities across the country. The per capita shooting rate in predominantly black Brownsville, Brooklyn, is 81 times higher than that of predominantly white and Asian Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, according to the New York Police Department. Blacks in 2012 committed about 75 percent of all shootings in New York, and whites a little over 2 percent, though blacks are 23 percent of the city’s population and whites 35 percent. Blacks are 60 percent of the city’s homicide victims. Their killers? They aren’t white.

The picture is the same nationally. Black males between the ages of 14 and 24 committed homicide at ten times the rate of white and Hispanic males combined in the same age category in 2008, resulting in a homicide victimization rate nearly as disproportionate. As for interracial crime, black homicide offenders in 2010 had nearly three times the absolute number of white and Hispanic victims as there were black victims of white and Hispanic homicide offenders, despite blacks’ much lower population numbers.

the little shit got justice. Justice was also delivered to Trayvon's past victims. He was a Grade A Punk and Thug in Training. Maybe if people tried to behave in a more respectful manner, both to themselves and others, these incidents would decrease.
 
Had the "news" on for a few minutes this morning, with the sound off. It appeared that the media and the "activist" groups are still going on about this thing.

Why do they have such a blood lust to send this poor Latino fellow to the gulag? He didn't even commit a crime, which the jury and ALL the facts in the case have verified. What is wrong with these sick people?

I'll ask it again, since when do "liberals" want people to be sent to prison? They used to be for letting as many people off as possible, even in cases where there was clearly a real crime committed. Whatever you feel about that, it was always comforting to know that there were people out there who took due process and the rights of the accused seriously and who believed that "its better to let 10 guilty men go rather than send 1 innocent man to prison." What ever happened to that???

I sincerely hope and pray that God in His mercy rendered you incapable of having children.
 
4 dead, 9 wounded in city shootings

Shootings left at least four men dead and 9 other people wounded across the Saturday night and Sunday morning.
The most recent shooting happened about 4:01 a.m. in the Cabrini-Green neighborhood - just north of Chicago Avenue on Cambridge Avenue. Two men, one 25 and the other either 23 or 24, were shot and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The older of the two was dropped off there and died of his wounds, and the other was taken there in an ambulance with a wound to the leg.

Someone shot up a birthday party about 1:50 a.m. in the Altgeld Gardens housing complex in the 600 block of East 131st Street, hitting four people. One, a 28-year-old man, died at the scene. Two others were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center: a 40-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman. A 22-year-old man was dropped off at Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island and is in stable condition. The man and woman at Christ hospital are both in serious condition, police said. The Cook County medical examiner's office refused to release the name of the dead man.

I find it interesting that white and Hispanic are now being lumped together, when we've heard for years that they are different groups. Now, suddenly they are the same group?

So, will Hispanic voting patterns start to fall more in line with white non-Hispanic voting patterns now? If so, that's big trouble for the Democrats. Not holding my breath for that yet, but this could be dangerous territory longterm for the Democrats if they aren't careful with this.

No chance in hell of that happening.

Know why?

Hispanics...liberal AND conservative Hispanics....all love Obamacare. This is a broad spectrum issue (i.e. new Hispanic citizens all the way through third-generation born-in-the-USA Hispanics), and 75% of Hispanics consistently express support for Obamacare.

Each and every time Rapepublicans have one of their symbolic "Repeal Obamacare" votes, it's as if they are saying "Fuck You Beaners!"
 
I am not a person of white privilege...

There's no such thing as "white privilege." You could make a case there's such a thing as non-white privilege today, but certainly no such thing as "white privilege."

Exactly what is this "privilege" supposed to be?

Lets see, we are the only group which is denied the right to openly take pride in our ethnic heritage and identity. We are the only group denied a history month. We are (along with Asians in college admissions) the only group which can legally be discriminated against. We are increasingly underrepresented in advertising. We are not allowed to have any political pressure or advocacy groups which are taken seriously by the media (in fact any pro-white group is immediately labelled "evil" "immoral" "full of hate" and "supremacist" regardless of whether it is so in any way or not). Finally, and most importantly, we're demographically DISAPPEARING at an extremely fast rate and this is happening in nearly every country in which whites used to be a majority. Its a worldwide phenomena.

So, how exactly does any of this add up to a "privilege"?

Let me add, the media calling Zimmerman a white is another form of anti-white racism. Whites are being accused of killing Martin, when at best only half white genes were even involved at all. That's more proof of anti-white racism.

Yes, there's racism in the US and the world, but its against whites not for them.
 
Excellent Sunday morning race-baiting, Chief.

Bout time someone pointed out we live in a post-racial colorblind society. :cool:

It would be nice if we could, but Liberals won't let it. They are the ones pushing for school bussing, affirmative action and their other bogus causes. They are also the ones yammering about "white privilege" which does not exist. Libs decry the fact there are more non-whites in prison than their proportion of the population, while disregarding the fact they also commit far more crimes.
