Autopsy results seem to support George Zimmerman's account

Some of the autopsy results in the Trayvon Martin case have been released. They show that Trayvon Martin had two injuries. The first was the gunshot wound. The second injury was to his knuckles.

If George Zimmerman’s account of the incident is true, then Martin’s knuckles were likely injured while he was busy breaking George Zimmerman’s nose, giving him two black eyes, or slamming his head into the sidewalk. Here’s a point to ponder: If George Zimmerman started the altercation, then where are the injuries on Trayvon Martin?

Quick question: Is Barack Obama the first black President, or the 44th white one?

Trayvon Martin

When I first heard about Trayvon Martin’s death, I was stunned. How could a kid walking to a convenience store for an iced tea and a bag of Skittles be killed? From the initial reports, Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, who appeared to be a loose cannon. Why would he murder a kid buying a snack? Was Trayvon Martin profiled because he was a black teenager? There were lots of questions that needed answering, including why George Zimmerman wasn’t charged and arrested for murdering Trayvon Martin. Of course, a funny thing happened on the way to answering those questions: The truth began to leak out.

According to early reports, it appeared that Martin was targeted by a racist white man. Well, George Zimmerman isn’t white. He’s hispanic, identifies himself as hispanic, and has almost the same skin color as Barack Obama, who said that Trayvon Martin resembles what his own son might have looked like. To this point, there’s also no evidence that Zimmerman has a history of racist behavior.

By now, we’ve also seen pictures of Martin which were probably taken a few years ago, rather than recent photos. Trayvon Martin was a man, and not the boy portrayed by many in the media. Keep this in mind when you read about how Trayvon Martin followed George Zimmerman as he walked back to his truck, punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, then repeatedly slammed Zimmerman’s head against the sidewalk. Not only did Zimmerman have injuries which required medical attention, but witnesses corroborated his story.

Since Martin’s death, the media have done a great job of turning it into a story about race. The finishing touches are visits by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who never miss an opportunity to use a tragedy for personal gain.

Besides race, liberals have used this opportunity to attack Republicans. First was their criticism of the “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows people to defend themselves rather than flee. Some liberals have blamed former Florida Governor Jeb Bush for signing the bill into law. After all, why not take an opportunity to blame a Republican for a death, if you can? Not surprisingly, these liberals ignored one tiny fact: The bill passed the Florida House overwhelmingly, and the Senate unanimously? I think that’s called bipartisan support. I’d also like to add another inconvenient fact for liberals: George Zimmerman is a registered Democrat.

From the New Black Panther Party putting a bounty on George Zimmerman’s head, to racist t-shirts, degenerates like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and clueless celebrities attempting to post his Zimmerman’s address, there’s no doubt that there is no desire to consider the other side of the story.

George Zimmerman has been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, and nothing but a guilty verdict will suffice. Let’s hope that any on-going investigations are completed without political or media influence

I’m not much of a sports fan, and I haven’t followed basketball for quite some time. A few weeks ago, I started hearing about a player for the New York Kicks named Jeremy Lin. Even then, I just heard blurbs, and didn’t read much further. I just didn’t care.

If I had told you that I didn’t notice he was Asian, I’d be lying. As a matter or fact, it was mentioned in a few stories, since there really haven’t been many high-profile Asian players in the NBA.

This week, the Jeremy Lin story took a turn in another direction. Rather than focus on athletic accomplishments, his story has been hijacked by perceived racism and hypocrisy.

This weekend, ESPN Editor Anthony Federico wrote an article with the following headline: “Chink in the Armor: Jeremy Lin’s 9 Turnovers Cost Knicks in Streak-Snapping Loss to Hornets.” After the story was published, ESPN fired Federico and apologized profusely. Federico also apologized, pointing out that he had used the phrase countless times and meant nothing by it. I believe him.

Of course, I believe him because I’m thinking logically. Is the man really going to intentionally use an epithet in an article read by millions, knowing full well he would likely be fired and labeled a racist? I don’t think so. Not surprisingly, there are many illogical people out there. Enter Rep. Judy Chu.

During an interview on MSNBC, Chu stated the following:

“I think that the use of the term is appalling and offensive,” she said on MSNBC. “The ‘c’ word is for Asian Americans like the ‘n’ word is for African Americans.”

In response to Federico’s claim that he used the phrase many times in the past, Chu later added:

“And if he was using it all those times, that is extremely sad. The word was used since the 1880s to demean Chinese Americans and to deprive them of rights, and it is used on playgrounds specifically to humiliate and to offend Asian Americans. So I don’t know where he’s been all this time.”

Judy Chu needs to get a life. If you still doubt it, check out this exchange between her and boxer Floyd Mayweather on Twitter

The congresswoman also called out boxer Floyd Mayweather during the interview, calling him the “heavyweight champion of insensitive remarks” for his tweet last Monday that “Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he’s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.”

On Feb. 15, Chu tweeted: “Jeremy Lin is living the #American story – success built on hard work and perseverance. Too bad he isn’t playing for #LA! #Linsanity @Jlin7.”

Floyd Mayweather is absolutely correct. If Jeremy Lin weren’t Asian, his story would have stayed on the sports pages, and wouldn’t have become a national sensation. Remember when Tiger Woods first became famous? If he were white, he wouldn’t have been nearly as famous. Part of his story and his appeal were that he was different, and was opening doors.

As for Judy Chu, she comes off being more racist then Anthony Federico could ever hope to be. She’s from Los Angeles, but she seems obsessed with a New York Knicks player. Does she only like him because he is Asian? Does she like him better than other players because he’s Asian? These are questions Rep. Chu should ask herself.

By the way, here’s the definition of Chink from Dictionary.com:

1. A crack,cleft, or fissure.
2. A narrow opening.

Maya Angelou receives a medal from President Barack Obama.

In an interview with the Guardian, poet Maya Angelou recently discussed President Barack Obama:

“I think he has done a remarkable job, knowing how much he has been opposed,” she says. “Every suggestion he makes, the Republicans en masse fight against him or don’t vote at all.” It’s about him being a Democrat and being the first black president, she says.

Remarkable? Really? There are lots of adjectives I could use to describe Barack Obama’s performance, but “remarkable” isn’t one of them. This is a man who is challenging Jimmy Carter for the title of worst President in history.

As for the rest of her quote, it’s laughable. Ms. Angelou makes it seem as if Barack Obama is the only President who has been criticized or disliked by the opposing party. Look at the criticism endured by Bill Clinton, who was white, or the allegations and pejoratives hurled at George W. Bush by Democrats during his two terms. The criticism isn’t due to Barack Obama’s race, it’s due to his politics, which run counter to the foundation on which this country was built.

Message to Ms. Angelou: Not everything is about race. Barack Obama will surely be criticized during the 2012 Presidential Election, and he will surely level criticism toward the Republican nominee, who will be white. When Obama does, will he then be considered a racist? Is there a double standard at work?

Actor Samuel L. Jackson

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, there was a lot of discussion about how accepting white voters would be of a black candidate. Would Barack Obama lose because of racism among white Americans? Well, obviously he didn’t. It looks like Americans aren’t as racist as many liberals would have you believe.

Of course, many in the media would never look at the opposite being true. Would black voters be more likely to vote for Barack Obama because he was black? I don’t recall much attention being paid to that question in 2008. If it were addressed, I’m pretty sure it would have been seen as less important than how white voters would react.

It turns out that the number of black voters increased significantly from 2004 to 2008, and according to exit polls, 96% of black voters voted for Obama. Nearly 3 million more black voters went to the polls in 2008 than in 2004. Now, to be fair, 88% of black voters voted for John Kerry in 2004, so the underlying reason for their support is likely membership in the Democratic party. Still, the increase is significant.

So, what does this old news have to do with Samuel L. Jackson?

In a recent interview with Ebony Magazine, Jackson made these comments:

“I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them … That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me.”

Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, “When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a [bleep]. Because, what’s a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain’t scary at all. [Bleeps] don’t have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?’ I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, ‘cuz he ain’t gotta worry about getting re-elected.”

Picture a white celebrity making similar remarks, talking about how he voted for John McCain because he was white, or because they wanted a candidate who looked like them. I think most reasonable people would agree that it was an example of racism. This is no different. Samuel L. Jackson’s behavior is guided by ignorance and racism.

I can say I won’t be watching any more of his movies, and I hope many others do the same.

I know that liberals like to blame many of the world’s ills on racism and white citizens, but I’m still amazed at the stupidity of those who oppose MCRI. Basically, it says that race should not be a consideration in university admissions. Proponents feel that grades, test scores, interviews, awards, and extracurricular activities are important, and that the amount of melanin in someone’s skin shouldn’t matter. These individuals are supporting the color-blind society liberals pretend to support, but undermine at every point.

I’d make the argument that those who oppose MCRI are actually the racists. They’re giving an unfair advantage to certain students based solely on their race. If this were being done for the benefit of white students, they’d be the first to complain, yet they see no problem with extending it to other racial and ethnic groups. By the way, could someone tell liberals that many of these students don’t need the extra help, and that I’m sure many would oppose receiving preferential treatment.

Of course, they wouldn’t listen. This just fits right into their “us vs. them” mentality. Liberals talk a good game, but it’s becoming more and more obvious that they’re the ones obsessed with race and ethnicity.

Arizona Senator John McCain gets criticized for speaking the truth

Recently, Arizona senator John McCain mentioned that illegal aliens who traveled over our porous border might have been responsible for recent wildfires out west. Once the liberal activists and apologists for the illegal aliens heard this, they were all over his remarks. Congressman Raul Grijava had this to say:

Late Monday, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said that his state’s culture is “as toxic as I have ever seen it,” as “every misfortune is blamed on undocumented immigrants.” McCain’s comments, he said, continue to provoke an extreme anti-immigrant and anti-Latino atmosphere in Arizona. This level of intolerance has reached a new low.”

Of course, McCain’s critics seem to ignore one very important fact: He’s merely repeating what the Forest Service has said. Essentially, they have seen evidence that people crossing the border have started campfires that weren’t properly extinguished, leading to fires. That’s it.

If you’re mystified by how someone’s statement (based on fact) could attract such a venomous response from proponents of illegal immigration, then you aren’t familiar with the liberal talking points. Here they are:

* Undocumented workers Illegal aliens don’t take from the U.S., do anything wrong, or cause other problems.

*Undocumented workers Illegal aliens are a positive force who make the U.S. better.

*If you criticize undocumented workers illegal aliens, then you’re a racist.

That’s their story, and they’re sticking to it.

Eric Holder supports civil rights...for some people.

Eric Holder says he has “reinvigorated” the Department of Justice’s civil rights division. Acording to holder:

“We’ve also expanded enforcement efforts to guarantee that in our work places, our military bases, in our housing and lending markets, in our voting booths in our border areas, in our schools and places of worship. And I mean all places of worship,”

That’s right. Holder’s DOJ protects the civil rights of everyone…except for white guys who are threatened by club-wielding members of the New Black Panther Party. If you think I’m wrong, think about how quickly Eric Holder would have acted if black voters were intimidated by armed members of the Ku Klux Klan. If that’s not a case ofreverse discrimination, I don’t know what is.

Members of the New Black Panther Party dressed up in paramilitary outfits and held clubs in polling places.

Again, just look at the picture above. Picture white men in Ku Klux Klan uniforms holding clubs outside a polling place. If that had occurred, this situation would have been handled properly. Unfortunately, the AG chose to look the other way. I guess only some people need to have their rights protected.

Barack Obama celebrates his Irish heritage.

Did you know that Barack Obama is Irish? Well, from what I understand, neither did he until just recently. It turns out that Barack O’Bama’s great great great grandfather came to the United States from a small town in Ireland in the mid 19th century. On a recent trip, O’bama visited the town, met an eighth cousin, and hoisted a Guiness in a pub.

I’ve read some critiques of his visit. Some have said he decided to visit Ireland to appeal to Americans who claim Irish ancestry. Others have said it was done to stress that he is half white. Who knows if either of these played a role. All I know are two things: The photo ops were corny, and there’s no way you will see him visit Kenya before the next election.
