Black People : Why you might wanna rethink the Trayvon Martin case

Wow! Sorry I couldn't respond earlier, busy with fam.
Maybe you misunderstood the title (first): You might wanna rethink the Trayvon Martin case
"Rethink" as in "think differently about this case" -- think differently about this whole thing. I did not say "You might wanna change your side."

And why? Because I see extreme media manipulation! This post is about the media, and their manipulation! I'm reporting on the fact that they are up to something (they have a hidden agenda).

Next, I put this: I ask you, the jury, to examine just this evidence, and answer the question with a yes or a no (is it true/the truth/true/a fact): Did the media deceive us, and knowingly put out information in such a way, and number of times, that it painted a picture, and story, of a young, innocent boy who was minding his own business when circumstances outside his control led to him being harassed because of race and ultimately shot because of his race, when all available information, including information that was available to them -- you know this because it was available to you so …, paints an almost completely opposite picture of the boy, and the story?

To be clear as to what I was focusing on, I put this:
Note: The question/issue is not whether Trayvon is innocent, somewhat innocent, somewhat guilty, or guilty; nor is it whether Zimmerman is innocent, somewhat innocent, somewhat guilty, or guilty. The issue is what the mainstream media did.
Maybe I should have put "the question/issue I'm posing here," but I thought that was clear in the previous paragraph (words in red).

Next, I went into the elements of the media's propaganda/manipulation techniques -- exactly how they did it. Go ahead and look. It's about media manipulation.
I even ended with:
A symphony of deceit. Propaganda.

It’s not possible? Here is a pretty recent Prior I spoke of before:

This is just like the election of Obama. Look at all that emotion. Anyone who seems to disagree, gets attacked.

You say and believe that your belief of what happened ("Trayvon Martin was ... Zimmerman shot him dead ..." -- whatever you believe happened) is why you're feeling that way, saying those things, and doing those things.
Because a young Black boy was murdered.
Impossible. This can't be the reason why, because you know that young Black boys get killed every single day, and you don't feel that way, say those things, or do those things, so it has to be something else. I could show every single person in America a story of a black boy getting killed, even by a white man, and it wouldn't cause the same reactions as you see now.
Is it because it was done by a white man? For some, it is.
Or is it because of what I was talking about -- media manipulation? These people intentional targeted your emotions, played on race, stirred-up the crowd, etc.

Black boys get killed every single day, and it goes ignored! The media is anti-young-Black-male. What made them present this case? What made them stay on this case? What the heck are they up to? While you're arguing about something that happens every single day (not saying that it's not important), I'm seeing the power to have Blacks riot in the hands of the media. I'm seeing the media stirring up Black people across the country. The people didn't do it on their own, the media did it by doing what I said in the body of my post. People were persuaded (what happened, happens every single day and this doesn't happen).

You mean to tell me that the media, and government because it's obvious they're in on it to, wants justice so bad that they would knowingly show everyone pictures of this boy when he was 14 and innocent looking? They're deceiving the country for the benefit of this boy and his family? Heck no, they're using them for a reason(s)!

What you saw was the same thing that had Americans wanting to go kill Iraqis even though they knew the terrorists were not even from Iraq. Support for the cause was rallied using the media. "I don't care ... just go kill em."


I didn't post it here, I posted it on my Facebook, but that whole Kony 2012 was the same thing, which is why I'm on high alert now.
Here you go:












So, once again, something that has been going on everyday, all of sudden ....
*Take a look at the first 10 mins of the movie Casino Royale and you see a lil something.

With this, a movement was created! They got the people to ______.

And with this, you saw celebrities and members of government commenting on the issue.


You might wanna look at the documentary I posted in the main body of my post "The Century of Self"
Is shows how they've been deep in the minds of Americans for decades.


I believe for you to respond in this way means that 'you know you can exist are in your own little world and have this weird mindset' amongst us...

mock on...but not for long. I didn't even bother to read past a few lines you wrote because this is about your first point, that young teenager, and now you are throwing up other racist remarks to interject to mock us. you are sick.

I think he's may just be a student learning about media manipulation.. the power of film.. Etc.. I think it's a matter of him applying what he has learned to everything he sees.. And rightly so. The problem with this thread is really technical.. He didnt put enough energy into being clear. I actually understand what he is saying regarding the way this drama us being used to highlight divisional lines between the three largest ethnic groups right before the election. From my vantage point it looks like a white consercative play to divide the black and Latino voters.. And to be clear, I'm speaking of the way the case has been handled politically by the local and state government. Politics aside.. The offensive part emanates from his presumption that we.. Black folk.. Are unaware of how the media and politicians spin these events toward their own ends.. The idea that we are all completely blind to what has recently been revealed to him through education..

Ever been to a funeral? Families usually choose obituary puctures based on the way they want to remember their loved one. The family was asked for a picture of their son and they gave a good picture.. One that matched their sentiment.. One that displayed his innocence.. His charm.. His beauty. And it is a fitting photo. He was after all innocent.. He was stalked and murdered. Zimmerman's picture was also fitting.. He murdered a young high school student and was not charged. He is a killer and they put a photo of him that matches that fact. He killed Trayvon.. Don't forget that.

And listen.. I grew up in Oakland. And it hurt every single time.. Every single murder. It's wrong to presume to know my mind simply because you know my ethnicity. That's what they do to us..
But the thing is.. Those inaccurate presumptions don't hurt us.. They just make it that much more difficult to arrive at a real and accurate truth... As opposed to an artificial and inaccurate truth.

Their is no respect for black life in America.. And it's heartbreaking to see all the variations of disdain and indifference.

I get where you are coming from. However, I think you may be overstating the power of the mainstream media. As was the case with Kony 2012, as much as I m on the Internet, I first heard about the Trayvon murder from one of my high school students who heard about it from one of her friends on Facebook. It was shortly afterwards that I went on line and someone had posted a petition from change.org.


As I recently mentioned, I became aware of the Obama campaign in 2008 because he ran a net roots campaign that targeted active bloggers.

I am sure the media is trying to provoke us into action which is why I turn them off. It's intense right now in Los Angeles because even the church folk are getting heated as we are saturated not only with Trayvon but the 20th "anniversary" of the LA Riots after the Rodney King case. At the moment cooler heads are prevailing. Let's hope it stays that way because we don't need to be out burning and looting Black financial institutions to the ground.
