There is an onslaught of outrage directed at yesterday's verdict finding George Zimmerman innocent of murder after shooting to death a young black man Trayvon Martin.Well, these folk should take Obama's advice and shove their outrage into a pipe and smoke it (and by all appearances some of these 'protesters' look like they wouldn't mind taking a hit from the old pipe themselves).
I am for the most part pleased with the overall process and outcome. Those who are yelling and screaming like mental patients about how Trayvon was deprived of justice need to have their heads examine and possibly sent to the loony bin. These idiots seem to forget that indeed Zimmerman was arrested, indicted, charged, tried in court by a jury of his peers. The prosecution presented their evidence, although weak and stupid and baseless that it was, nonetheless Trayvon did get his day in court.
What justice has been deprived? We've had a trial. Court dates, hearings, and cross-examinations were done on Trayvon's behalf. What else does this craze mob want? Whatever it is, its not justice, but rather vengeance. And to see gay people jump on the bandwagon for Trayvon is really pathetic and one of the most stupidest things I've ever seen.
During the trial Trayvon's girlfriend testified how Trayvon depicted Zimmerman, who some say was 'stalking' Trayvon. She stated quite interestingly that she told Trayvon to be careful and that maybe Zimmerman was a gay man who would like to rape him.
After I heard her testimony I had no doubt why Trayvon was dead: his own homophobia did him in. What I got from her testimony was that Trayvon was not all happy that Zimmerman might be interested in buggering him. In essence, Trayvon thought that Zimmerman was another 'faggot' that was checking him out and of course, being the typical hip-hopper 'no homo' thug that he really was, he confronted Zimmerman. Trayvon's depraved homophobia was so great he failed to really analyze his situation. He failed to see that Zimmerman was in fact not a gay man out to try and have butsecks with him (although I keep hearing rumors that Z is in fact bisexual, but I will touch on that later on), but on the contrary was there because he was the neighborhood watch captain and he was not 'checking him out' but rather trying to figure out if Trayvon was 'up to no good.'
During the conversation with his girlfriend he described Zimmerman as a 'creepy-ass cracker.' Experts in racism tried to defend the racial tone of the term in saying that reverse racism in black culture is different than the historic racism against blacks by whites. In fact, I tend to believe these experts. One of them is actually an old professor of mine from college who I had in one of my courses who also teaches African American studies. I talked to him briefly about Trayvon's little zinger against Zimmerman and what it all meant. According to him and others I've been hearing talking about this zinger, 'creepy-ass cracker' is a somewhat a popular term withing some black urban social circles to describe a gay white male. However, according to my professor, the term is rather more focused on the gay part than the racial one. Evidently 'no homo,' 'faggot,' 'bitch,' are not the only terms used by blacks to oppress gay people.
Trayvon confronted Zimmerman because he thought he had to do something about these 'creepy-ass crackers' and to prove to himself and his hyper-masculine, self-delusional, cultural ego that he was 'the man' and he was going to teach this 'faggot' a lesson.
According to cops and some witnesses, they report that Trayvon was actually spewing anti-gay slurs at Zimmerman while he was pounding his head on the concrete. Though not adequately proving in court, these reports are only drawing an ugly picture of this 'poor little kid.' Though ugly as it is, the homophobia theory is in fact a really good one, and without a doubt, Trayvon's homophobia was more at play here than whatever racism Zimmerman had (which he didn't).
And to blast Zimmerman for trying to protect his neighborhood from thugs, crooks, and criminals is really outrageous. Sure, Trayvon was not committing a crime per say, but we have to understand that Zimmerman's neighborhood had been plagued by crime before this incident. Zimmerman was well within the law to follow Trayvon and report him to the police. Call it 'racial profiling' if you will, but I really doubt that Zimmerman was after Trayvon because he was a black dude. Sine everybody is coming up with 'what ifs' about this case, I would propose the following: what if Trayvon was wearing a suit or a tux, or a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt, instead of a hoodie? I would be inclined to say that Zimmerman would have never given him a second look because he doesn't look like those criminal thugs that have plundered the neighborhood.
And how about this? If Trayvon was not homophobic and was secure with himself and just ignore Zimmerman he would have gone on his way without anything transpiring. Or, if he had to have contact with Zimmerman, a simple 'hello' just to ease the tension would have lead to a different outcome. But, it seems to me that Trayvon's aggressive homophobic nature got the best of him and the situation went awry quite quickly. Remember, homophobes tend to be aggressive and very protective of their own 'self image' that when they feel 'threatened' by a supposed homosexual a lot of bad things tend to happen.
Zimmerman should not be lynched by the public or the media. He was tried and a jury with all the evidence presented found him innocent. We should all respect the law and our courts whether we agree with the decision or not. We as gays cannot demand that anti-gays respect court decisions they don't like while at the same time lambasting this jury for fulfilling their duties to society. The dummies who say Zimmerman 'crossed the line' do not know anything about protecting neighborhoods; maybe that attitude could be attributed to the fact that many of these Trayvon-tards do not either have problems in their local communities, or if they do have problems in their neighborhood they simply don't care and to some extent a minority of them are encouraging disharmony within communities (as in 'no justice, no peace'). The inclination to protect one's home and neighborhood is a basic organic human instinct.
Take for instance the recent anti-gay hate crime wave in New York city. We are getting reports of gays in those communities actually doing what Zimmerman was accused doing that night: standing up and protecting their neighborhood. We've had inventions of gay superheroes who are patrolling the streets of Manhattan, gays forming neighborhood watch groups and escorting each other through the dark streets at night. I guess you can say that these kids were trying to be 'wanna-be cops' like Zimmerman. And I bet there is a gay Zimmerman in NYC right now 'stalking' a suspicious looking man, and yes he may even profile him according to the apparent characteristics (and they are not racial) of previous perps who have assaulted and killed the many gay men in the area. In other words, if Zimmerman did exactly the same thing at the gay village in NYC it wouldn't be news (maybe on Towleroad but that's about it), ironically many of the same gays I seen on TV protesting Zimmerman would have praised him for keeping the streets of NYC safe for gay people.
Speaking of NYC and justice. What about justice for the gay black man who was shot dead in the face? Why no media sensation? Why no outrage from the black community? In that incident there was clear evidence of bias and hatred. The victim was not wearing a hoodie or anything to make him look like a criminal thug, he was a normal looking handsome gay black guy. Yet he's shot dead and I hear crickets from the blacks. Could it be because the victim was a gay man that the black community didn't want to touch this with a forty-foot poll? -- I'll leave the readers of this post to answer that question.
Lastly, the whole hoodie nonsense needs to stop. This juvenile charade only further proves that race wasn't a factor but rather culture and fashion was. The way that Trayvon was dressed fits the typical description of a thug that is venerated by the hip-hop music industrial complex. The same industrial complex that exploits black men by glorifying thuggery, robbery, drug use, rape, homophobia, violence, and the like. And in the end Zimmerman was not alarmed by a black man, but he was fighting against what that glorification represented: a threat to his community. He was not protecting his community from a race, but rather from a fad and a destructive ideology that typically involves young men (and it is also interesting to note that Zimmerman is being charged as a racist and not a sexist as he was profiling a man rather than a woman) doing some hard time in jail and being proud of that. Crime is nothing to be proud of, so off with the hoodies please. There are way bigger issues that we need to deal with that go beyond Trayvon and the lone neighborhood watchman.
