Race and crime as seen by America's lamestream media

You haven't forgotten Trayvon Martin, have you? How could you... what with "Reverend Al" Sharpton and every liberal politician and journalist in America hollering "Justice for Trayvon" even after George Zimmerman, his killer, was found not guilty?

There's a reason for all the fuss, of course. Trayvon was black, and George Zimmerman is (almost) white. So that proves there's still racism in America, that you can't expect justice from a white system, blacks are still second-class citizens, yada yada yada. Great is the beating of breasts in the lamestream media.

Further reading: "Obama's Trayvon remark called 'hysterical and exploitative'"; "Walmart responsible for social injustice!" and "Was Rachel Jeantel speaking 'Black English' or 'Ebonics' or what?"

In the third of those articles, written only yesterday, Len spoke of the existence of a large and growing American underclass, comprised mainly of blacks, Latinos and white trailer trash. You know the type, right? No? Well have a look at three of them and their families -- speakers of "Black English" every one of them. You'll hear it in this video. [I tried to upload it but failed. Sorry. Ed.]

The three teenage yoofs -- two definitely black and one kind of a "high yaller" -- appeared in an Oklahoma court today charged with the murder of a young Australian who had come to America to play baseball on a college scholarship.

Unlike George Zimmerman, Christopher Lane was not armed. Nor did he get into any kind of argument or confrontation with "the Duncan Three". They decided to shoot him, prosecutors said yesterday, for the simplest of motives -- to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer. One of the three shot Mr. Lane in the back, for the fun of it. That's what they told the police.

Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis "Junior" Edwards, 15, of Duncan were charged with first-degree murder and, under Oklahoma law, will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan was accused of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

This video aired on ABC-TV. No, not the American Broadcasting Corp., but the Australian Broadcasting Corp. You'll have to look hard to find pix of those poor disadvantaged boys in the American press. Nor has much of anything been made of the fact that they're, errr, black. Len will tell you why.

See, the racist stereotype is that young black males are more likely to commit violent and senseless crimes than are white or Asian males. Thus they are more likely to be picked on by the mostly white police, and "cracker" vigilantes like George Zimmerman. To suggest that there is some truth to the stereotype is, in itself, racist, and definitely not politically correct.

So what is the lamestream media to do when confronted with the inconvenient truth that, by their own admission, some black kids committed a senseless and violent crime? They can't very well blame the victim, since the young thugs themselves said they didn't even know the guy.

So for the time being, it's better to say as little as possible. That will give "Reverend Al" and all the other bleeding-heart reality-deniers time to hone the "blame white society" defence. Then it will be revealed that the perps are indeed black... and, of course, victims themselves.
