The conservative Republican blogger in Missouri writes about the Trayvon Martin case: "The media started the feeding frenzy, alerting Obama that the situation could be 'racial,' reporting the story as: White Man Shoots Black Teen. As it turns out the 'white' man who shot the kid was actually half-white and half-Hispanic man. Funny how the media considers a half-white half-Hispanic man white, but a half-white half-black president black. Since Hispanics are technically 'Caucasians,' it’s only a slight stretch. Journalistic integrity intact."
He continues his commentary: "The incident was much worse however, because the teen was wearing a hoodie, making this for the Left a clear case of racial profiling. Hoodie or no hoodie, the kid should not have been shot by [George] Zimmerman, as neighborhood watch is not neighborhood shoot. Zimmerman took his role way too seriously, and a tragedy resulted. But is it a national tragedy?"
More: "Make no mistake about it; I’m mad at the killing of the teen in Florida who happens to be black. I’m mad for his death, and I pray for his family. But I’m also mad because black teens are criminal standouts for the reasons most people are too afraid to say — black teens commit lots of crime, disproportionately to their other ethnic peers. And those wearing hoodies are exponentially more likely to commit crimes. This is why the Liberals will make hay with situation, even though in this particular case, the kid’s ethnicity likely had little, if anything to do with his death. If Trayvon Martin had been wearing Tommy Hilfiger, things could have been different. God-forbid it’s the hoodie that causes people to take pause, and not the color of one’s skin. Don’t expect the Left to impugn the hoodie; the hoodie is the uniform of the criminal. The Left protects such symbols, because the Left must protect those who wish to do us harm to prove their tolerance. Why not make the hoodie our new flag, at least that way the Left won’t desecrate it?"
