Oakland has more than its share of Trayvon Martins

• This is YT just trying to keep the blackman down. Has anyone asked AL or extortionist Jesse how to solve the problem of 83%(WHITE) & 90%(BLACK) victims ratio murdered by black people yet? All the gibsmedats don't seem to be solving it but race baiting is at a all time high with the destroyer-in-chief leading the pack from the shadows. Trayvon--coming to a respectable neighborhood in your area soon.

• "They want to know what the difference is between Trayvon and their child," Harris said. "They want to know why the churches and our mayor are concerned about the death of a young man 3,000 miles away when there are so many Trayvons right here in Oakland, California."

  The answer she gives grief-stricken relatives they can't always accept.

  "I tell them there is no difference, it's just that some people choose to follow what the in-crowd is working on instead of working on the problem right in front of them," she said. "I tell them it's not personal."

  You're mostly right, Ms Harris. They didn't care one bit about your son. But they don't give a rat's ass about Trayvon Martin, either. The only reason your so-called leaders (of either color), SEEM to care about the latter is because it furthers their agendas and careers. I they are getting re-elected, and Sharpie and Jesse can afford new Armani suits and whatever-brand of $1000 Italian shoes, they don't give a rip if hundreds of your sons and daughters are getting shot in the street.

  • Great post. While you were thinking seriously, I'm sniping; you forgot baby Mommas, child support and back taxes.

    • If the Ms Harris's of that world were to decide they really want to address the source of their problems, they would necessarily have to deal with those issues. Some of their brethren already have, and not necessarily conservative ones, either - Bill Cosby comes to mind off the top of my head.

      The first thing those in the inner cities who really want to improve things need to realize, is that the race hustlers (and I don't mean the obvious ones like Jesse and Al, but also Charlie Rangel, Nancy Pelosi, Hilary, Chuckie Schumer, etc, etc, etc.) are NOT their friends. If that were to happen, they would be well on the way to dealing with the baby mommas, etc.

• "The slaying of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has jolted the American public from its apathy, and there is righteous public outrage from coast to coast."

  The event happened at the end of February. It took Obama, Jackson and Sharpton and their media lapdogs 3 weeks to get the nightly two minutes of hate going. Outside of media Potemkin Villages, nobody is talking about it as sane people regard it as a local law enforcement issue. That's hardly what I call "jolting" anyone out of their "apathy." But nice try, commissar.

• Interesting article. The first poster after the article writes:"Most of Oakland is black and black crime." And therein you have the reason why there is so little interest in such killings among the media and the professional rabble-rousers.

  • Hey MD, way OT but I was just listening to sports-squawk and it got me thinking. If a person was ever of a mind to commit a crime in your fine state, between 6:00pm and midnight Sat. seems like it'd be a pretty good time to do it.

    • Yes, Ghost, it was fun in the state this week before the UofL-UK Final Four game. The game was pretty entertaining. When UofL tied it at 49, it looked like they might have a chance to win, but Kentucky was too strong.

• When the MSM refers to zimmerman as a white-hispanic, does that mean obama is a white-african

  • OK if I steal that? Can't wait to inject "our first white-African-American President said..." into a conversation on this whole sorry topic and then sit back and watch the civil heads explode.
