Where is the liberal outrage & justice?

I THOUGHT the race baiters would somewhat settle down after the Zimmerman verdict. I gave them too much credit. I am a gay woman who's family never uttered the L word except to call the practice an abomination. I have been a registered Democrat since the age of 18! I was raised christian but soon learned that organized religion didn't truly believe in the words of the Christ they professed to follow. They used the dark parts of the Old Testament to stir up hatred against minorities, gays and anyone who didn't blindly follow THEIR teachings. Never mind that Jesus never mentions homosexuality, denounced judgement, walked among lepers and ate with tax collectors. That doesn't suit the religious agenda. Love thy neighbor? Fred Phelps and his wacko followers in the Westboro Baptist Church love only attention and hate. Reverend Al Sharpton, and I use the word reverend VERY loosely, can barely hide his contempt for the white race. Nancy Grace? Three reprobates shoot an white Australian college baseball player in the back. The tweets of one little wannabe rapper openly shows hatred to whites, talks about offing some pecker(wood)s and thinks jail creds will help his non-existent rap career. Did he not think about the Aryan Brotherhood in most prisons? Does she mention it? NO! Two black thugs beat an 88 year old World War II veteran to death in a parking lot in Spokane, Washington! Does she do a live show to condemn the senseless death of Delbert "Shorty" Belton? (This particular case really pisses me off because my adopted father proudly served in WWII and his brother was named Delbert.) Crickets from HLN. Grace/HLN puts out a RECORDED show about the death of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls...both of them glorifying "thug Life", slinging dope and guns! Both died violent deaths. And she wants justice?!?!?! What about justice for the 13 month shot in the face in front of his mother by black teens in her own literal back yard of Georgia? She never shut up about wanting George Zimmerman to "get the needle" for killing Trayvon Martin who was beating Zimmerman's head into the concrete. Where are the liberals who chanted "No Justice, No Peace" and wore Trayvon T-shirts, i.e. Jamie Foxx and Shartpon? Do these deaths mean nothing because the victims were white? Where is President Obama, The Commander In Chief of the armed services, when a Purple Heart recipient of the Greatest Generation is bludgeoned to death in a parking lot? Oh! I get it! "Shorty" didn't look like Trayvon! The family of Trayvon Martin hit the TV circuit calling for an end to "Stand Your Ground" laws. But why aren't they revisiting the networks and condemning the violence perpetrated on whites by blacks who openly proclaimed "this is for Trayvon" immediately after the verdict? Why is it only Fox News' cast of black conservatives who are openly standing up and saying ENOUGH? Why is it suddenly unpopular to say American but VERY PC to hyphenate it, read in African-American, Mexican-American, Cuban- American, LBGT-Americans adnauseun? We are AMERICANS! I'm not a big fan of Abraham Lincoln but he believed that a house divided couldn't stand. But the house that is America is constantly being divided. Black vs white. Republican vs Democrat. Rich vs poor. Christian vs Muslim, Atheists, Wiccans. Gay vs straight. ENOUGH ALREADY! Grow up, folks! Life is all give and take. No one side can hoard all of the balls on the playground. When the end comes for this once great country, it will not be because of Islam or Communism. It will be because of the seething volcano of hate, intolerance and bigotry from within our own borders. This house in crumbling. To quote the late Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"

Is HLN determined to start a race war? Will this be the Armageddon that so many fear? All during the George Zimmerman trial, Nancy Grace made it about black and white. As a lawyer, she above all else, should know that NOTHING in life is simply black and white. It took her, NBC, CNN and MSNBC forever to tell the truth: George Zimmerman was not white, he is half Hispanic! Grace shouts to the rooftops that she wants to investigate the case, she wants justice and she "makes a difference". She has no respect for the system of justice that is such an integral part of our system and our constitution. What did she do the night the verdict was read? She repeated a false statement, saying that George Zimmerman said f***ing coon, and she said it verbatim, no bleeps. It had been proven last year that that was not what he said. NBC edited the 911 tapes to gin up racial unrest. Grace does two nights of an interview with Trayvon Martin's family and, at the end of the last night, there's a blurb of an interview with a woman concerned for her daughter's welfare after she disappeared from her job at a Harley Davidson dealership. I'd never heard about it before. Then Jean, Grace's stand in, announces that, since the interview was taped, the police found the missing woman dead. Funny how Grace, Velez-Mitchell, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and the other race baiters didn't report about the white folks beaten senseless by blacks saying "this is for Trayvon". Granted, the violence wasn't widespread but it was news nevertheless. What about the 13 month old shot in the face by black teens in front of the child's mother? I didn't hear Nance Grace, Al Sharpton and their ilk demand just for that family. Now the big story on Nancy Grace is about the class action lawsuit brought against American Idol by disgruntled black American contestants. Season 11 finalist, Jerome Jones, refused to be a part of the lawsuit. What does that tell you? It's more ginning up by ambulance chasing lawyers who are playing the race card to get their name in the news, not the names of the plaintiffs. Nancy Grace is right about one thing. She does make a difference in that she throws racial gasoline on any media fire she lays eyes on. Oh yeah! She makes another difference. The cases that Nancy Grace, Chief Drama Queen at HLN, has focused on,(i.e. Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman and Andrea Sneiderman), have resulted in aquitals and/or dismissal. These moronic race baiters don't want justice. THEY WANT RATINGS!

The Zimmerman verdict is in and it's a fair verdict according to what I know of law. Nancy Grace and HLN should be held accountable for all of the race baiting done since the night Trayvon Martin died. I, as a rule, never blame the victim. But I can and do blame parents and society for this. Decent Americans of all colors and creeds, as a rule, respect the laws of this country. They do not play the victim card when a verdict is rendered that they don't agree with. The first thing out of Nancy Grace's mouth was that Zimmerman weighed more than Martin and that was quickly picked up on by Jane Velez Mitchell and the HLN quack called Dr. Drew. The first rule of self defense in to use and opponent's weight and size against them. But no one on HLN, CNN or MSNBC ever talks about that! Now Martin's parents go on a media tour and say that Trayvon was not confrontational. While many parents are clueless to their kids behavior, it's not a defense. The non-confrontational Trayvon allegedly hit a bus driver in the face when the driver refused to let him ride free...just days before his death! He was suspended for marijuana, possession of questionable jewelry and possible burglary tools! He didn't live with his dad but it seemed mom wanted to get him out of town quick! White folks would've sent him to grandma or, if they had money, to Military School! These parents sound like the parents of the captain high school football team who bails him out when he's accused of sexual assault on a cheerleader. It's not MY kid is usually followed by she must've asked for it or she led him on. These are the same parents who learn that the class closeted gay is bullied so bad that he or she commits suicide. The parents defense: It was bullying! Kids just teased him/her. Since the internet hit America's households, parents and police have tried to keep kids safe from pedophiles and predators. No responsible parent would allow a kid to join NAMBLA. Why do they allow the sagging which is a PENITENTIARY fashion? Why would any parent allow any child to listen to rap music which glorifies guns, drugs, gold and misogyny? Fox News recently showed Lil Wayne trampling on the American flag. We have a mixed race president but he steps on the flag like a terrorist. HLN was quick to show the failed Stand Your Ground Case where a black woman shot into a wall to deter her husband from beating her. She got 20 years. His defense? He has 5 baby mamas and he has put his hands on all but one. This is okay in the black community? White America is not glorifying the thug life nearly as much as lack America although I do hear it from some white and Hispanic teens. I hear people like Sheri Shepherd saying its a part of black culture. If slinging dope to afford gold, putting a cap in someone's ass, beating your girlfriend and having a bunch of kids by different women is a part of black culture, I am SO glad I am white! Advertisers couldn't wait to drop Paula Deen because she used the N word 20+ years ago, but Trayvon Martin thought it was okay to call what he presumed to be a white person a creepy ass cracker. He learned that racism from his family or rap thugs or both. If the N word is so horrible and disgusting, why is it okay for rappers? A bad word is a bad word so matter who utters it. Hate speech is hate speech...PERIOD. And the idea that a black person cannot be a racist is absolutely absurd! I was walking home in Dallas, TX in the fall of 2010 with both hands full of those irritating plastic bags full of groceries. It was still daylight and I was surrounded by mom and pop stores when a 2007-2009 black Toyota Tundra stopped and the driver asked me for directions. Yes, she was black and had gold teeth but I wanted to be a good neighbor like my parents taught me. As soon as I was next to the driver's door she pulled out a very shiny, chrome plated semi-automatic handgun and demanded my groceries and my wallet. Her last words to me were, "I ain't playing with you, bitch!" So I started to lower my bags, which were twisted around my wrists, to the ground. When that gun was no longer aimed at my chest, I ran and she literally chased me in that truck...until she saw me run into a liquor store. DPD took a report long after she had headed for South Dallas but said they couldn't help me because I didn't get a TAG NUMBER!!! They wouldn't even pull the red light videos so I could identify the truck. Why? If I said it was because I am white and she was black, I would be laughed at by the very same Attorney General who is now helping to gin up racial unrest over a completely LEGAL verdict! Where was the NAACP when a 19 year old black young man was shot execution style and dumped on South Garrett Avenue in Dallas, TX shortly before Christmas, 1999, reportedly by Mexican thugs who accused, tried, convicted and executed him for pinching their drugs? He barely got a blurb in the paper because he was allegedly doing something illegal. Finally, if ANYONE expects equal treatment in this country, they need to stop trying to divide it. I am an AMERICAN. My family tree is diverse, but I see no need to hyphenate myself. African-American, Mexican-American, Cuban-American, Italian-American....who cares? The very fact you are here means you are an American. That's all that counts. Trayvon Martin's death is a tragedy but he was 75 yards from home and could've gone into that home and locked the door behind him. George Zimmerman got out of his vehicle but there is no evidence that he was doing anything but heading back to it when Martin decided to confront and batter him. Was Martin entitled to walk home in the rain? Absolutely! Was Zimmerman entitled to carry a gun and keep a watchful eye on him community? Absolutely! Was Martin entitled to confront, punch and batter Zimmerman just because he was a 17 year old and black? Absolutely not! And if his parents think they are blameless in letting him think this way, they are sadly mistaken. There are messages to be learned in this case, but the only way to learn them is to look at the facts. And one of the most important facts is the way some of our young people idolize thuggish behavior and bad choices and carry them into their own life.

Maybe I expect too much from the 21st century and the New Age of Technology. In my defense, I grew up with "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons". The former represented my parents. And, c'mon, who hasn't heard the story of how hard life was for our parents? They walked 20 miles uphill in the snow BOTH WAYS to get to school. My beloved adopted mother was born in 1913. The gifts I got from her was my love of old movies, both silent and talkies, and a true appreciation of Big Band music. How many kids in the 60's and 70's could sing songs by The Andrew Sisters and Alice Faye? I could. But "The Jetsons" promised robot maids, flying cars that folded into brief cases and foods that you could whip up in a matter of seconds. Yes, the microwave can heat up a cup of soup in the blink of an eye. But that ain't a meal! Okay, the Rumba IS technically a robot that cleans floors, but it's no Rosie. And there was and is a car that turns into a plane and vice versa, but it sure as hell doesn't fold into a briefcase! We have cars that talk to us but I don't need conversation! I need a parking spot in downtown Frederick, MD from time to time!!! That collapsible car would work just fine for that. And while we are talking about dinosaur vehicles, how come the average car battery has gotten 20% to 30% smaller in my lifetime but 50% heavier?!?!? If I have to pull the battery for charging or testing it's like dropping anchor in the Chesapeake Bay!!! We need a battery about the size of an iPad that just slips into a slot on the vehicle like a credit card in an ATM. Are you listening, car companies? I drive a 1993 Chevy Van. It was practical when I was moving home to Maryland from Texas. Now I feel like Goliath among a herd of Davids driving down the highway. If I could figure how to put solar panels on the roof, I would save a fortune but it would cost a pretty penny to implement. Oh, what the hell. I'll just wait for that flying car that folds into a briefcase. It has to be right around the corner, right? By then I will have hit the lottery, too.
