Remember Skittles and iced-tea?
In the aftermath of Trayvon Martin’s fatal confrontation with George Zimmerman, the media went to great pains to characterize the teenager as an innocent kid who was shot for wearing a hoodie while black. After all, this depiction fit their narrative—their narrative of a country filled with racist rednecks just waiting for a chance to shoot innocent and unarmed black teenagers.(Snip)With a mediocre economy, growing questions about the efficacy of Obamacare, and a lethargic base waking up from a hope hangover to find that the president had left them hanging on the change part, the media knew that President Obama couldn’t win on his record.

FTA:
While the media lies and spins, our country is being torn apart. Most Americans don’t have the time to carefully consult primary sources and suss out the truth. Nuance and judicious examination are too often thrown out the window to favor visceral and easily mobilized outrage. It is too easy to appeal to victimhood and play on the emotions of citizens for political points.
But the truth is too important to be marginalized for an easy narrative.
The real truth is that the media is not giving us the truth.

I call it a hate crime perpetrated by the media, among others.

Smidgen wasn’t keeping the status quo; he was intentionally making race relations worse.
“Exceedingly few would view Trayvon Martin’s death as anything but a senseless tragedy—a young life ended entirely too soon.”
I would be one of those few. Martin was a young thug with a criminal record who would only have become a worse thug and would have eventually wound up in prison, if not killed by another thug.

The author of this column is absolutely correct when he concludes that the media, in addition to willfully stirring up racial distrust and unrest, turns the focus away from any honest examination of the true causes, and therefore the cures for the misery in our inner cities.The media is a destructive perpetual motion force in this country. And, when oh when, will Black Americans realize that neither the Democrats nor the media give a d.... about them? Whenever I see and hear a functionally illiterate, woefully ignorant and often angry (if not violent) inner city youth, it makes me even madder at the Democrat Party and their willful cohorts, the msm..

Since Hitler is in the news regarding Trump all to frequently, I'd say Trayvon was the black Hitler. How do you like them apples?

"...how can we stop such heartbreaking tragedies from occurring"? There is a very basic initial step that must be taken before any realistic solution can be pursued. Even by mistake don't vote for a Democrat to a position of public trust or responsibility!

So? So now what? There's a hoax a day.
Racial discord is highly profitable in many ways. Politicians love it. Big Race thrives on it. She's a racist! He's a racist!! They're all racists...'cept me. Just keep on pumping the cash my direction in the cause of justice. Oh, look...a NOOSE!

Trayvon's saintly mother had to ship her equally saintly son to stay with his dad during his third suspension from school.
I wonder how wealthy the parents became on the back of their dead son.

"Because the only way we can make the future better is by learning from the past—the true past."
Well, yes. But the media is only interested in their narrative which they have made CLEAR is that America IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN racist. They think this is a winning strategy for them/dems/the Left and they have been applying it with vigor. This group has had many decades to make real progress in America but they haven't because THAT IS NOT THEIR GOAL. Their goal is power and dominance and they use grievance, envy, and hate to seek it.
Unfortunately for them, Trump has made REAL progress for ALL races and some of those folks have become "woke" to that fact. I wonder how many of them will see this book or film and realize how they have been lied to.

Obama had the bully pulpit for eight long years and instead of empowering black youth he convinced them that they were victims. Such a squandered opportunity sickens me. But perhaps emancipation was not his goal, but rather, control and dependence.

Angela Cory needs to be handled exactly like Nifong was handled. Arrest, disbar, and then put her in prison.
I have had ENOUGH with crooked, lying, dastardly prosecutors. Time to make a few really big examples.

And yet my mother still thinks sources from the media are still reliable and trustworthy. How unfortunate.

With these so called innocent rocket scientist, you know "If not today, tomorrow or the next day, they will be dead or in prison"
Thanks to Obola, schools were told not to report the crimes kids commit in school. That needs to be overturned.

The media needed a controversy that would get Obama reelected. Notturno does a fine job of digging below the surface of this travesty to its real roots.
