My words are.... they killed Malcolm, Martin, Medgar Evers, the four little girls in Birmingham AL, They beat Rodney King, they killed Emmit Till and a black boy in Chickasha, and a Black young man via the Tulsa Race Riot.......
Zimmerman pursued
Martin. This is a fact. Martin could have run, I suppose, but every black man
knows that unless you're on a field, a track, or a basketball court, running is
suspicious and could get you a bullet in the back.
The successful transformation of
Zimmerman into the victim of black predatory violence was evident not only in
the verdict but in the stunning Orwellian language defense lawyers Mark O'Mara
and Don West employed in the post-verdict interview. West was incensed that
anyone would have the audacity to even bring the case to trial -- suggesting
that no one needs to be held accountable for the killing of an unarmed
teenager. When O'Mara was asked if he thought the verdict might have been
different if his client had been black, he replied: "Things would have
been different for George Zimmerman if he was black for this reason: he would
never have been charged with a crime." In other words, black men can go
around killing indiscriminately with no fear of prosecution because there are
no Civil Rights organizations pressing to hold them accountable.
