Something that should come as no surprise to anyone, and that is also something we've heard nary a peep about from Barry or his stellar Attorney General, is that the fact that the rather insidious little group who refers to itself as the new Black Panther Party has now apparently offered up a bounty of $10,000 Saturday for the “capture” of the Florida neighborhood watch captain who killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” leader Mikhail Muhammad spewed after announcing the reward for George Zimmerman at a protest in Sanford, Fla. Mr. Muhammad called on 5,000 black men to mobilize and capture the neighborhood watch volunteer. “If the government won’t do the job, we’ll do it,” Muhammad said, leading chants that included “freedom or death” and “justice for Trayvon.” Where the Hell are we, in the old west? Is this the voice of reason? This is nothing more than mob rule. And yet we continue to hear nothing from our "Dear Beloved Leader."
This fella Muhammad said that new Black Panther’s chairman, Malik Zulu Shabaz of Washington, was taking donations from black entertainers and athletes. The group hopes to collect $1 million off the outrage by next week. So this group of supposed "concerned" citizens has now actually admitted to the fact that they are using this teen's death as a means of raising money. I can only guess that the parents are fine with this. Personally, I'd be more than just a little upset. New Black Panthers members pointed to what they called the "inaction of government officials," from Sanford city officials up to the governor, and accused them of lying and delaying justice. They have also stated that Angela Corley, the newly appointed special prosecutor, is an enemy of the black community. “She has a track record of sending innocent young black men and women to prison,” Muhammad said. Of course, with these people you must either always side with them or run the risk of be referred to as the enemy.
And an opinion that I'm quite sure that this little cadre of miscreants disagrees with is the one that has the Southern Poverty Law Center referring to this twisted little group as being nothing more than a black-separatist group, created in 1989, that is both “virulently racist and anti-Semitic.” Imagine that! And as such groups always do, they have seized upon this incident and proceeded to not only use it to fan the flames of racism but also as a means of raising money for themselves. Because as we should all know by now, Martin, who is African-American, was wearing a hoodie and carrying a pack of Skittles and an ice tea on the night of Feb. 26. He was supposedly heading back to his father’s fiancé's townhouse. Zimmerman, 28, called 911 to report a suspicious person in the gated community and followed the teen despite the dispatcher’s request that he stand down. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense. Zimmerman’s family says he is Hispanic and race was not an issue.
And then of course we cannot ignore the fact that we also now have Spike Lee entering into the fray and cheerfully doing his best to get into the action by apparently retweeting the home address of Mr. Zimmerman. Two messages were posted to Lee’s official Twitter account, one Friday and one Saturday, with a street address and the words “EVERYBODY REPOST THIS.” Both messages were still visible on Lee’s account Sunday morning. Lee has tweeted numerous times about Martin’s death. I can only guess that old Spike is yet another opportunist out to use the tragic death of this teen as a means to breath new life into his flagging career as a movie "director." Pretty sad, don't you think? You know it says a lot about the character of an individual, or of a group for that matter, that they can so easily stoop to the using the death of a teen in such a callous manner to either encourage contributions or for free public relations. It takes away the credibility for their claims.
Is it just me, or does it seem like all of the ones now trying to score the most points from this horrible tragedy are all black? I seem to recall many statements coming from those in our state controlled media praising the fact that with the electing of Barry "Almighty" a new era of racial harmony was about to be ushered in. That there would come a reducing of the racial divide claimed by so many to exist in this country. But I think it very fair to say that just the opposite has now occurred. And what should be obvious to even the most casual of observers is that whatever divide there was that may have existed before the election of Barry has, most assuredly, become very much wider. That divide has now become a chasm and the main reason for any worsening of race relations in this country can be traced right back to Barry "Almighty" himself. Barry spends a great deal of time giving a great many speeches in his attempt to increase racial tension by creating the false notion that our society is somehow inherently unfair, and to the extreme, when it comes to treatment of those in the black community. And it's all nothing more that a lie. And he knows it.
