TAVIS SMILEY, ANOTHER AGENT OF RACIAL HATRED...


Now I'm pretty sure that just about everyone is at least somewhat familiar with Tavis Smiley, another one of those race baiters who seems to insist that there is a racist white guy lurking around every corner and behind nearly every bush. Recently Smiley again demonstrated his rather racist tendencies in making the idiotic claim that "color will get you killed." Now I would agree that when talking about someplace like Chicago old Smiley just might be right, but I don’t think that's what he had in mind. Because, blacks killing blacks appears to be no big deal to him, while stemming the tide of blacks being killed by White-Hispanics is of much more importance. And something else that seems to be of little or no concern to Smiley is something like the case where a black thug shot a white baby in the face. But, we can discuss that issue on another day.

But back to the case at hand, Smiley said on ABC’s 'This Week with George "Little Stephy" Stephanopolous' that, "We never seem to accept the fact that race in this country is real, that color will get you killed," And this moron went on to say that, "somebody can always explain away why this person got off, why this person was not found guilty, and what we have is a bunch of dead black men." Then "Little Stephy" asked ABC "Nightline" anchor Dan Abrams, "As a legal matter, could it have ended differently? Is there a different kind of case the prosecutors could have …" To which the genius, Abrams, responded by saying, "No, because if you watched that trial every day the way that I did, you do lose the sort of big picture and you get very focused on the little picture." Sorry, is it me? But that just don't make no sense!

Then Smiley chimed in in response to Abrams' imbecilic comment, saying, "Dan, respectfully, the problem is every time we get to that nexus - and I agree with you, there are two separate issues here - but every time we get to that nexus, we never seem to accept the fact that race in this country is real that color will get you killed." And on he went, off on his bizarre little tangent, adding, "And every time we have one of these cases – and I believe in looking at a case by case situation, but here’s the problem: in the aggregate, every time we have this issue, somebody can always explain away why this person got off, why this person was not found guilty, and what we have is a bunch of dead black men." Hey Tavis, the reason that you have a "bunch of dead black men" is because they're being killed by yet another bunch of black men! DUH!

Smiley noted earlier in the segment that "in just a matter of weeks," the nation will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "I Have a Dream Speech." He said, "In that speech you will recall the one line that we all seem to know…‘I want my children to one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,’" Smiley then said, "George Zimmerman knew nothing of Trayvon Martin’s character. All he saw was his color. Something is wrong in this nation." He added, "Fifty years after the March on Washington, while the Voting Rights Act is being gutted, speaking of the Justice Department, what they’ll do about that perhaps, something is wrong when adults can racially profile children. Trayvon Martin was a child racially profiled and gunned down." What a bunch of crap!

Martin was "gunned down" by Zimmerman? Now that may be the way Smiley sees it, but that's not how it went down the night Martin lost his life. And to try to say that that what's occurred is to be completely delusional. You had a black guy wondering around in a neighborhood that had been experiencing break-ins. And you had the neighborhood watch captain doing what one would expect him to be doing. The black guy saw an opportunity to have a little fun by taking down a "creepy-ass cracker". The fact that he's now dead had much more to do with his actions than with the actions of Zimmerman. I find it being more than just a little amusing that Smiley can talk about Martin's "character." What exactly did Martin do to demonstrate that he possessed any level of character? I think any evidence of that would be more than a little thin.

But, you see, racists like Smiley simply can't bring themselves to look at things that way because anytime a black, any black, is killed by someone who's white, racism must always be seen as being the primary cause, and yet it's never seen that way when someone who's white is killed by a black. Somehow even that is the white person's fault. He, or she, was guilty of being somewhere where they had no business being and thus put their own life in danger. It's their fault that they were murdered by someone who was black. This is the kind of idiotic logic, and I use the term loosely, that we're up against in dealing with clowns like Smiley. But he's far from being the only one. And isn't it sad that these frauds do their community such a disservice by creating hate and distrust where none should exist and for no other reason than to line their own pockets?
