Why is the media trying to create a race war with the Trayvon Martin case?

It's about creating Re-elect Obama Race Riots In Oklahoma last Tuesday, Bob and Nancy Strait, who had been married for 65 years, had their home broken into by a black teenager (Tyrone Woodfork) unarmed except for a BB gun. The teenager beat and raped 85 year old Nancy Strait to death. Her husband, a veteran of the 101st Airborne in WW2, is in the hospital struggling to make it.

There will be no million hoodie march for Bob and Nancy, two mere white Americans. No black Chicago Congressman whining in his hoodie to the U.S. House, no Jesse Jackson, no Al Sharpton expressing their outrage. Their killer will have pro bono lawyers and innocence projects helping him until he's finally set free again.

Certainly Obama will make no statement on how Nancy Strait could have been his grandmother or how Bob Strait could have been that uncle who "liberated Auschwitz ". Bob and Nancy Strait won't get the screeching coverage that Trayvon Martin got about white racism because a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain shot a black teenager. ...In fact, isn't it sad that you will only find this story in a UK newspaper?

To the professional race baiters like Sharpton, the tragedy of the death of a young black person is simply a irresistible chance to practice their craft, that of racial divisiveness and thinly veiled hate. To the media the story of a black teen killed by a non black community watch member was similarly irresistible. With a name like Zimmerman, they assumed he must be a Caucasian, and probably Jewish!

Think of the ratings.. It struck all the right cords in their leftist mentality and made them completely forget what little they know about objective and responsible journalism. They reflexively used their hate crime template, and where it did not fit, they ignored or changed the facts. The information that he was a member of a "community watch" was instantly interpreted as proof that he was a right wing vigilante.

Anyone who does not depend 100% on the government for protection of their lives and property is an extremist in the eyes of the leftist media. Just as Sharpton had dreams of historically leading another Selma Al type protest, the leftist journalist smelled what they hoped was another Rodney King type story and clung desperately to that hope even as the truth started to unfold. So now they know Zimmerman is a Latino registered Democrat who was injured in the altercation, did not make racial references on the police call, previously protested at the treatment of a black youngster by the police and worked to help disadvantaged kids.

Why are they not apologizing? Because they have created something that is now beyond their control and because is against their nature to admit mistakes. They are guilty of much worse than screaming fire in a crowded theater, but they will never be held accountable.

To more directly address your question, I think it was simply knee jerk reactions from the leftist media, politicians, and professional racist. They created an emotional wave that is impervious to reason or reality and which must run it's course through our easily manipulated populace. They were not seeking the black vote.

They are confident they already own it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
