The Death Of Trayvon Martin Has Unleashed A Wave Of Demogoguery That Must Be Answered
ALEXANDRIA, VA — The death of Trayvon Martin is, of course, a devastating event for his family. That a 17-year-old boy returning from a visit to a nearby store for a snack should have his life taken is difficult to understand and accept. On many levels, the incident was, as President Obama has said, “tragic.”
Still, this event has provoked demagoguery that ignores the complex facts of the case itself and has provided an opportunity for provocateurs to proclaim that race relations in America are similar to those of the segregated Old South, as if the notable progress we have made in recent years had never happened.
The Deceptions
Consider some of the things we have heard.
* Jesse Jackson referred to the trial as “Old South Justice.” NAACP President Benjamin Jealous declared, “This will confirm for many that the only problem with the New South is it occupies the same time and space as the Old South.” He invoked the memory of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was killed in 1955 after supposedly whistling at a white woman “and whose murderers were acquitted.” An article in The Washington Post drew parallels between this case and that of Emmett Till, as well as the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963, and the 1933 case of the Scottsboro Boys, nine young black men accused of raping two white girls.
* “Trayvon Benjamin Martin is dead because he and other black boys and men like him are seen not as a person but a problem,” the Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnick, the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, told a congregation once led by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
* In Sanford, Florida, the Rev. Valerie J. Houston drew shouts of support and outrage at Allen Chapel A.M.E. as she denounced, “the racism and the injustice that pollute the air in America. Lord, I thank you for sending Trayvon to reveal the injustice, God, that lives in Sanford.”
* One of those who organized demonstrations against the verdict and promoted the idea that our society is little better than it was in the years of segregation is the Rev. Al Sharpton, always ready to pour fuel on a fire, and now provided by MSNBC with a nationwide pulpit. How many today remember Sharpton’s history of stirring racial strife? In 1987, he created a media frenzy in the case of Tawana Brawley, a black teenager who claimed she was raped by a group of white police officers. A grand jury found that Brawley had lied about the event in Wappingers Falls, New York, and the case was dropped. The event that Sharpton used to indict our society for widespread racism never happened.
* In 1991, Sharpton exacerbated tensions between blacks and Orthodox Jews in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. A three-day riot, fueled by Sharpton’s inflammatory statements, erupted when a Guyanese boy died after being struck by a car driven by a Jewish man. At the boy’s funeral, Sharpton complained …read more
The Real Black-on-Black Crime: The Racial Grievance Industry
It’s been a week since the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder for the killing of Trayvon Martin. And it’s been that long since America has been unmercifully subjected to non –stop coverage of false indignation manifesting itself in “demonstrations,” self-righteous laments about the verdict’s implication, continued emotional manipulation of black Americans for political gain ($harpton, Jack$on, M$NBC, the NAACP, the president, Eric Holder, etc.) and so-called discussions about race and what it means to be “a black man in America.”
As a parenthetical, president Obama injecting himself- again- on Friday was particularly and expectedly disappointing. Rather than saying something constructive, seeking to extend a sense of calm regarding the situation, he did the exact opposite. But what else can one expect from a community organizer.
Now to be honest, all this talk about race is intentionally shortsighted, disingenuous to those who actually need to hear the tough talk surrounding race- namely black Americans, and self-serving of those who would benefit most- specifically the dishonest and soulless profiteers of the racial grievance industry.
And because of the proliferation of media attention regarding the “discussions about race” and its implications- especially in such a short period of time, I’m suffering from a diagnosed case of acute racial fatigue.
I’m sick and tired of hearing superficial “discussions” about race. Especially when that talk implicates whites and infantilizes blacks.
Actually I’m sick of “race,” period.
I’m tired of Trayvon Martin being compared to Emmett Till- which by extension projects upon contemporary America a racial ethos similar to that of 1955. Martin was no Till, period.
I’m tired of hearing that Martin sacrificed his life or that he was some kind of martyr. Please, already. Those making these comments deserved to be slapped and or openly ridiculed.
I’m tired of seeing the Rev. Martin Luther King photoshopped into a hoodie. This is nothing short of repulsive and it denigrates the memory of Rev. King’s contribution to racial justice. Our country shall forever be in debt to Rev. King; the same cannot and should not be said nor insinuated about Trayvon Martin.
I’m especially exhausted of hearing talk from condescending white progressives who enable and encourage blacks into maintaining their embrace (revelry) of the false narrative of victimization at the hands of “the system,” the amorphous, undefinable organism whose sole purpose is keeping blacks from “getting ahead.”
These embarrassing “demonstrations” happening across the county increase racial fatigue because those engaging in them do so at the expense of their dignity and credibility. These people have willingly ignored the facts and evidence of this case in a grandstanding attempt to keep whites responsible (guilty) for perpetuating racial discrimination and at the same time obligated to perform penance of indeterminate length- defined by the racial grievance industry- with no assurance of absolution.
And they do all of this in light of the black-on-black crime that is much more destructive and prevalent in America than a “white Hispanic” killing a black male.
The whole charade is disgusting.
And I’m tired of it.
This trial wasn’t about race. Martin’s family …read more
“Brother Roger” And The Racial Agitators
When conservatives complain about Al Sharpton, they usually note his relationship to NBC news or his hosting a show on MSNBC. But a new book says the racial agitator and Democratic Party politician has considerable clout with Fox News, and in fact played a role in getting conservative Glenn Beck fired from the channel.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson says “people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not deserve to be called civil rights leaders. They are not. They are hustlers and pimps who make a living off inflaming racial tensions.”
However, The Zev Chafets book, Roger Ailes: Off Camera, has some revealing passages about the clout that Sharpton and Jackson have with the chairman and CEO of Fox News. It says Ailes took a phone call from Sharpton after Beck, then a Fox News host, staged a rally at the Lincoln Memorial 47 years to the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I have a dream” speech at the same location. Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally, designed to pay tribute to America’s military personnel and restore traditional values, was strongly attacked by figures such as Sharpton and George Soros-funded groups like Media Matters, then campaigning to have Beck fired from Fox News.
Chafets says Reverend Alveda King, a national pro-life leader, delivered a conservative “I have a dream” message of her own at the Beck-sponsored rally that was “infuriating to many viewers” and Ailes as well. “Ailes didn’t like it much, either,” he reports. However, the book doesn’t explain why Ailes took issue with the rally or the speech.
The book adds, “When Al Sharpton called him [Ailes] to complain, Sharpton was surprised to hear Ailes say he would ‘take care’ of it.” The passage is included in the context of Ailes making a decision that “he would have to get rid of Glenn Beck” and telling Howard Kurtz, then a media reporter with The Daily Beast, that “he was turning down the partisan heat at the network” and was pursuing “a more moderate tone” in programming.
Kurtz, who was recently hired by Fox News, is described by Michael Clemente, Fox’s executive vice president of news, as “the most accomplished media reporter in the country,” despite a series of embarrassments over erroneous and controversial columns and media appearances that resulted in his firing from The Daily Beast.
While the Chafets book is considered sympathetic to the chief of the Fox News Channel, it notes that Beck’s firing followed his strong criticism of billionaire George Soros and a vigorous campaign by various left-wing groups against him.
Chafets also points out that then-Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), another liberal recently hired as a Fox News commentator, is a member of the “roster of Friends of Roger” and an old “buddy” of Ailes.
Accuracy in Media chairman Don Irvine noted that Kucinich was “one of the most liberal members of Congress until he lost his seat after redistricting in 2012,” and that he was “the latest in a string of liberals at Fox, including former Sen. …read more

Freedom To Break The Law?
By Bradlee Dean
“The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness, which the … ignorant believe to be liberty.”– Fisher Ames, architect of the First Amendment
In light of the George Zimmerman trial, many people are watching the media circus fabricate its next deception. While the media are attempting to divide America through racial wars that belong not to this generation, they have been exposed time and time again for their outright lies concerning this case. If it is not MSNBC omitting portions of Zimmerman’s 911 call, or jurors proclaiming that the media showing only pictures of an innocent little black boy has deceived them, then it’s prosecutors who are withholding evidence that would exonerate Zimmerman.
The media web spun.
But do they have a right to dispense half-truths, fabricated stories, or outright lies? Of course not! This is simply what the people tolerate – that is until it hits their livelihood. And let me tell you, it does. Martin Luther King stated, “An injustice done anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Now, I know that in America today, most believe that the grace the American church has been teaching, “a license to go and use that grace as an occasion for the flesh” (Galatians 5:13), is the right to break God’s moral law. But in fact, that mindset stands in direct contradiction to its true definition.
Herein comes its counterfeit: licentiousness.
Americans stand back and wonder why their government acts in the fashion it does, as to believe that government has some mysterious freedom to break the laws of our republic. After that, its natural course is to trickle over into the realm of the media, a media that proclaim half-truths, fabrications, and straight-up lies – as if to say that freedom of speech is now a right to break the law.
Have you noticed in today’s society that equality is talked much of, of course without reference to the law or right-giver?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal (under law), that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (Thomas Jefferson)
When you read the Declaration of Independence, you can see that our rights are derived from our Creator; and nowhere can you find our Creator advocate the right to break His laws (Exodus 20). Freedom is not the right to do whatever we want to do, but that which is right before God to do!
This short video goes in depth and shows you the law that exposes the myth that freedom of speech does not have limits:

False Prophets And Fake Presidents
“I hear all the time the expression ‘the good old days.’ Well, the good old days, we forget they have been good for some, but they weren’t good for everybody. It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling people back … for blacks to be back in the back of the bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet, and for immigrants to be on their side of the border.”
So says Rev. Luis León, Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, situated not far from the White House. León’s remarks were part of his Easter message March 31, with the First Family in attendance. His church and his ministry endorse homosexuality, homosexual marriage, and practicing homosexuals in ‘ministry.’ Obviously, the ‘good’ pastor denies Scripture is inerrant, Christ’s clear assurance. Thus León, completely contradicts the Lord he claims to serve, which is, quite frankly, insane.
“It drives me crazy . . . “
Yes, one would have to be crazy to point the finger of accusation at fellow pastors and other Christian believers, accusing them of ridiculous things, on Easter Sunday no less. León did not name the “captains of the religious right” who drive him crazy. In the present day, such captains might include Tony Perkins, Mat Staver, Gary Bauer, Sarah Palin, Cal Thomas, Jay Sekulow, Billy Graham, or James Dobson, all good people holding to traditional values for legitimate reasons, none of which have anything to do with discrimination or persecution.
Not one of these good people has ever suggested blacks return to the back of the bus. Blacks have not been forced to the back of the bus for more than 50 years. Just as a reminder, it was the Christian Right in the 19th century that freed the slaves, helped slaves escape the South, died for justice in the Civil War, and ministered to the suffering of all colors during and after the war. Without the religious right, the civil rights movement would not have gained altitude. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Christian Republican, just for the record. Without Republican votes, the Civil Rights Act would never have passed.
No one has called women back to the kitchen. Women, like Sarah Palin and millions of others, can freely choose home life, or a professional life, or both; and this has been true in growing measure since Christ liberated women, most especially in America.
Not one of these respectable Americans has insisted homosexuals stay in the closet. Christians of all political affiliations have been the most loving toward homosexuals, demonstrating that love by providing far and away the most support when the AIDS epidemic struck. Homosexuals enjoy the greatest freedom and prosperity here in America thanks to the traditions of tolerance and acceptance cultivated by centuries of Judeo-Christian tradition.
And no one from the religious right has ever denied anyone the right to immigrate. Indeed, Christians have been the most supportive of new citizens. Christians from the right and …read more
Presidential Proclamation — Cesar Chavez Day
CESAR CHAVEZ DAY, 2013
– – – – – – –
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Every year, Americans all across our country pause on March 31 to remember a man who made justice his life's calling. Growing up the son of migrant farm workers who lost everything in the Great Depression, Cesar Chavez knew hard work and hardship from an early age. He labored long hours for little pay, taking odd jobs to help his family get by and forgoing a formal education to follow the crop cycles. But where others might have given up or given in, Cesar Chavez never lost hope in the power of opportunity. He lived each day by a belief as old as America itself — the idea that with courage and determination, any of us can reach beyond our circumstances and leave our children something better.
More than anything, we remember Cesar Chavez for lending voice to the voiceless. When no one seemed to care about the invisible farm workers who picked our Nation's food, beset by poverty and cheated by growers, a courageous man dedicated to dignity stood up and spoke out. Alongside Dolores Huerta and fellow organizers, he rallied a generation of workers around “La Causa,” marching and fasting and boycotting for fair pay and protections on the job. They fought through decades of setbacks and fierce resistance. But through every trial, Cesar Chavez refused to curb his ambitions or scale back his hope. Step by step, march by march, he helped lead a community of farm workers to make the change they sought.
Cesar Chavez's legacy lives on at Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz, his home and workplace, which I was proud to designate a National Monument last October. It also lives on in those who remember his central teaching: that when workers are treated fairly and humanely, our country grows more just, opportunity becomes more equal, and all of us do better. Because even with the strides we have made, we know there is more left to do when working men and women toil in poverty without adequate protections or simple respect. We know there is more to do when our broken immigration system forces workers into a shadow economy where companies can ignore labor laws and undermine businesses following the rules. Fixing those problems means securing what Cesar Chavez fought for at La Paz. It means taking on injustice, making sure hard work is rewarded, and bringing more Americans into a rising middle class.
In 1966, when Cesar Chavez was struggling to bring attention to his cause, he received a telegram from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “As brothers in the fight for equality, I extend the hand of fellowship and goodwill,” he wrote. “We are with you in spirit and in determination that our dreams for a better tomorrow will be realized.” It is a story that reminds us how here in America, we are bound together …read more

Friends and Colleagues Pay Tribute to a Giant of American Labor
By Wayne G. McDonnell, Jr., Contributor On the day where America observes the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Major League Baseball Players Association gathered to pay homage to another extraordinary leader, teacher and mentor at New York University Law School. As the hundreds of guests began to fill Tishman Auditorium prior to the evening’s festivities, one could not help but stare in wonder and amazement at the dignitaries from the baseball community that populated a venue normally occupied by aspiring lawyers and legal scholars. Hall of Famers such as Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield, and Joe Morgan highlighted an all star cast of former and current players that traveled to Greenwich Village on a frigid winter evening to pay tribute to a man who simply referred to himself as a trade unionist and civil libertarian.

It’s no secret that they look to forward Rudy Gay, and the scouting report says Gay wants to go to his right. With 1.4 seconds remaining Monday afternoon, Indiana’s Paul George prevented that from happening, forcing Gay to take a dribble that caused his would-be game winner to be released after the horn sounded, giving the Pacers an 82-81 win in front of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day crowd of 17,508 at FedExForum.

Minister tells Newtown: MLK's words 'needed now'
A former leader of one of the country’s most prominent liberal Protestant churches told residents on Sunday, weeks after one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words “are needed now more than ever before.”
The Rev. James A. Forbes Jr., the first black minister to lead New York‘s historic Riverside Church, spoke Sunday night at the Newtown Congregational Church in a service honoring King and the school shooting victims.
About 300 residents filled the church for the community worship service, called “For the Healing of Newtown.” Forbes delivered a sermon calling for a transformation and healing of communities.
“The saddest face I ever saw on Martin Luther King was at the funeral of the four little girls slain in Birmingham, Alabama,” he said. “We ask today, as King did then, `Lord, what can come out of this that will honor those lost in this tragedy?”‘
Twenty Sandy Hook Elementary School first-graders and six school officials died in the Newtown shooting last month. The gunman who killed them had killed his mother at home before going to the school and later committed suicide.
Forbes’ message of transformation was delivered to the Newtown community a day before the federal holiday honoring King’s legacy and a little more than a month after the Dec. 14 school shooting.
The senior minister of the Newtown Congregational Church, the Rev. Matt Crebbin, welcomed the congregation and spoke of the long journey ahead.
“Though we are all interconnected, our destiny lies in our ability to be one, as a community and as a nation,” he said. “Tonight we gather to heal and mend hearts.”
As the congregation sang the hymn “When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love,” many fought back tears and others simply wept.
Forbes told the congregation his message would be one of hope and healing.
With great passion, he spoke of his experiences during the civil rights movement and the struggles and challenges along the way. But, he said, one way to get encouragement is to recognize when progress is made.
“As a community, overcoming a tragedy will take time, but progress will be made,” he said.
Forbes said that King believed in the power of community and faith and the need for good to come from tragedy. He stepped down from the pulpit to be closer to the congregation as he raised his voice to finalize his message.
“We have seen that violence can strike anywhere,” Forbes bellowed. “Yes, King talked about violence, but he also talked about transformation and healing in the wake of violence.”
He then asked people in the church to consider something: “What if history records what happened in Newtown and that leads to a new America?”
“Maybe if we listen to the Spirit, we as a town will be able to stay out of the depths of despair,” he said. “If we listen to the Spirit, there will emerge a beacon of light that can lead an entire nation.”
Crebbin said this was a fitting time for Forbes, who was leader of the Riverside Church on Sept. 11, 2001, but retired in 2007, to visit Newtown, which is about 60 miles northeast of New York City.
“He’s been able to share his insight about grief through his experience with 9/11,” Crebbin said. “In the midst of the grieving, we can’t try to fix the grief. We need to help with the grieving. It won’t be the same life.”
Everyone stood to sing “We Shall Overcome” as the service ended. Forbes, founder of the Healing of the Nations Foundation, walked down into the congregation to take the hands of those sitting across the aisle from each other and connected the crowd into one.
