Interesting "racist" read given Trayvon calls for uprising

This is a good read given what is going on these days and what the media would have us believe is wrong with America.

God Bless and have a good weekend.

You won't recognize me. My name was Antonio West and I was the 13-month old child who was shot at point blank range by two teens who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty...too bad I was given a death sentence for being innocent and defenseless.

My family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. Nor did President Obama take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder.

I am one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise, President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me - so he doesn't care and the media doesn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.

There is not a white equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me. There is no White Panther party to put a bounty on the lives of those who murdered me. I have no voice, I have no representation and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.

So while you are seeking justice for Treyvon, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Treyvon.

Thank you.

I'm amazed that CNN would publish from that position.

Speaking about the race issue CNN wrote -- "On the campaign trail, Obama understood the sensibilities of the American people on these questions; in office, Obama seems to have lost that touch."

I say, "or he doesn't have to win another election and the true snake emerges."

Many things about this case bothered me a great deal, but one of the things that was absolute BS was how the prosecutors tried to portray 17.5 year old Treyvon as a child who was only out that night to buy Skittles. There is NO doubt that had Treyvon committed any kind of crime after the age of 14, he would have been charged as an adult by the same prosecutors. Absolutely disgusting and I am very irritated that none of the media bothered to talk about this.

I've had a lot of retired relatives leave Florida from all the violence caused by those black punks. Concealed carry and stand-your-ground is a huge threat to the black community since so MANY of the younger ones are animals roaming the streets in search of victims. With so many retired its not hard to find said victim either.

Imagine if Florida had open carry and say thirty to forty percent of the white retirees carried? Either the punks would find some manners or the herd would be thinned PDQ. A smart man said an armed society is a polite society.

Btw, I'm not a racist; my J-frame is black...
My retirement shall consist of carbon steel, cheese, and crackers.
