"That hasn’t stopped many in the media from displaying the same reflexive vigilantism that some are attributing to George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon. All over the Internet and on cable TV, posses are forming, positions are hardening and misinformation is flourishing. Instead of debating how we as a culture are going to proceed, an increasingly partisan system of news and social media has factionalized and curdled."

A Shooting, and Instant Polarization

Listening to the heated rhetoric coming from demonstrations around the country, from the Black Caucus and TV talkers -- about how America is a terrifying place for young black males to grow up in because of the constant danger from white vigilantes -- one wonders what country of the mind these people are living in.
The real America is a country where the black crime rate is seven times as high as the white rate. It is a country where white criminals choose black victims in 3 percent of their crimes, but black criminals choose white victims in 45 percent of their crimes.
[. . .]
But, to Florida Congresswoman Federica Wilson, "this sweet young boy ... was hunted down like a dog, shot on the street, and his killer is still at large."
[. . .]
Is this our idea of justice?
No. But if the purpose here is to turn this into a national black-white face-off, instead of a mutual search for truth and justice, it is succeeding marvelously well.

Everything about the Trayvon Martin case is a matter of contention. About this, though, there should be no doubt: If Martin had been shot by a black classmate, if he had been caught in a random crossfire, if he had looked at a gang member the wrong way, his death would have been relegated to the back pages of the local newspaper.
Not a cause, not even a curiosity: Just another dead young black man.
[. . .]
Jesse Jackson is right that “blacks are under attack.”
According to a 2005 FBI report, blacks accounted for 13 percent of the population and 49 percent of all homicide victims. In 93 percent of the cases, the killer was black. Half of the victims were ages 17 to 29.
[. . .]
There is no comparable epidemic of half-Hispanic neighborhood-watch volunteers like George Zimmerman shooting young black men.
That works out to 4,000 murders of young blacks in one year, overwhelmingly at the hands of other blacks.
Nor is there an epidemic of cops doing the same. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute notes that in New York City, there were nine civilian victims of police gunfire last year, whereas there were “several hundred black homicide victims in the city, almost all shot by other blacks or Hispanics, none of them given substantial press coverage.
[. . .]
An injustice may well have been done in the handling of the Martin shooting, but let’s not fool ourselves. Zimmerman could be arrested, convicted and hanged tomorrow, and it would have no effect on the lives of young black people in communities beset by social disorder.

" Blacks and Muslims who face the insults of being profiled might direct their anger toward those who've made blacks and crime synonymous and terrorism and Muslims synonymous.
God would never racially profile, because he knows everything, including who is a criminal or terrorist. We humans are not gods; therefore, we must often base our decisions on guesses and hunches. It turns out that easily observed physical characteristics, such as race, are highly interconnected with other characteristics less easily observed."

"Martin's tragic death is a statistical outlier. More whites are killed by blacks than blacks killed by whites (or 'white Hispanics'). And far, far more blacks are killed by other blacks. Indeed, if we're going to use the prism of race to analyze murder rates, then the real epidemic is that of black murderers. Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute notes that recent data show black males age 14 to 24 commit homicides at a rate nearly 10 times higher than that of young white and Latino males combined."

"Liberals are collectivists, not individualists. The act of self-defense is the ultimate act of individualism. Also, to a leftist government is there to provide all that we need – including protection. Never mind that the Supreme Court has explicitly ruled that police have no duty to protect private citizens … to a liberal protection is the role of government, and for a person to act to protect and defend themselves is 'taking the law into your own hands.' A liberal believes the law belongs to government, not the people."
[. . .]
I heard some young lady at one of the rallies saying: “We’re tired of it. We’re just tired of it.” Well, other people are tired too. They’re tired of the culture of criminal behavior and violence that persists in young black males in this country.
The statistics are readily available from the FBI. They show what most of us, black and white, already know to be true. Young black males commit violent crimes way out of proportion to their percentage of the population. It’s a fact. You can scream “racism” until you pass out, but it’s a fact and your screaming isn’t going to change that fact. And it doesn’t have anything to do with skin color either. It’s culture. The greatest criminal threat to young black males in this country is other young black males,"

"Adding insult to injury, the Rev. Jesse Jackson told a large Central Florida crowd, "If it's a moment, we go home, if it's a movement, we go to war."
Yes, Reverend, we should all "go to war." But, before we do, it would be beneficial to wisely choose our enemy. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2005, among one-on-one homicides, "93 percent of black victims were murdered by black offenders" meaning the biggest enemy of African-Americans is African-Americans."
