Conservatives Give Killers Big Money (Not The Poor,...)

Oh BOY, being a poor guy running a blog that lives by donations, do I know this scene well - big bite quote ahead: 

It was inevitable that when Zimmerman was arrested and charged with murder, he had only one thing on his mind: how to pay for a private criminal defense lawyer. Knowing that his phone calls were being recorded while he was in jail pending bond (for a grand total of seven weeks) Zimmerman and his family spoke in code. They were all very grateful for the “support from SH”.

You didn’t need a crypto-analyst to figure out that “SH” was Sean Hannity. In July 2012, the Miami Herald reported that the anchor was believed to be financially backing Zimmerman’s defense.

It was kind of true. But Hannity, himself, did not shell out. He got a bunch of other people to pony up. On his nightly TV show, the Fox News man would furrow his brow and rant about what would become of America if we lost the right to shoot and kill people who scare us. Then Hannity would, helpfully, mention TheRealGeorge Zimmerman.com, a website that the real George Zimmerman had set up after he shot Trayvon Martin to death. The site, helpfully, accepted PayPal. Nearly half a million dollars double-clicked right in,....

...Of course, not every accused felon can get Sean Hannity as his personal cheerleader/rainmaker,...MaryJane, in Lansing, Michigan, is apparently fighting criminal cannabis growing charges. She says she needs weed because she has Lupus. She posts a photo of herself out-and-proud wearing a marijuana leaf necklace. She has raised $1,450. Gordon Smith, of Delmar, Delaware says that he has been falsely accused of domestic violence 24 times. He offers a video – “False Allegation Awareness: The Gordon Smith Story” – and he has raised $290. Darren Wilson, of St Charles, Missouri, has done a lot better. He has raised $433,000 ... because maybe some day he’ll be charged with something.

Wilson, of course, is the police officer who shot to death 18-year-old Michael Brown Jr, whose own family’s GoFundMe site has raised $339,000. As officer Wilson’s (currently inactive) fundraising sites promised: “All proceeds will be sent directly to Darren Wilson and his family for any financial needs they may have including legal fees.”

If he ever has legal fees. Right now, all Darren Wilson has is a lot of money because he killed someone.

Yep - as long as I went along with the folks who revealed themselves to be racists, some money rolled in. But - as soon as I called them on it - that shit dried up so fast, it might as well have never occurred. (I've been essentially homeless, for months, but do they care? Nope. They've told me to die - directly - for disagreeing, which is all I need to know to further judge them, and their politics,...) Meanwhile, I watch the Zimmerman's and the Wilson's raking in millions overnight - along with the politicians everyone (supposedly) hates or distrusts.

And they still wonder why I, and others like me, say - as Americans -  they're cruel and their priorities are all wrong,...

 

How White America "Works": Blacks Who Have Hurt No One Die While Killers Get Donations By The Thousands

A regular series of "cool" interchangeable villains

So, The White Man's Hero is starting to crack, and finally lets the world know why he's The White Man's Hero:

"‘Do you know who I am?’ George Zimmerman threatens to kill driver in road rage incident: Florida cops"

An illustrated example of what a "country" looks like to whites

This fits perfectly with the rest of Zimmerman's profile - and that of his (and Darren Wilson's) supporters:

 "The most morally rotted and ethically suspect supporters of Darren Wilson have collectively donated at least 500,000 dollars to protect him from the consequences of killing Michael Brown.

As I wrote here, donating money to Darren Wilson (and other white vigilantes and extra-judicial killers of black people such as George Zimmerman) is the new lynching photography of the 21st century. Instead of buying postcards of hung, tortured, and burned alive black bodies, those who donate to Darren Wilson enjoy the vicarious pleasures of killing a black person by proxy. Michael Brown, and by extension other black American men, are born with a bounty on their heads.

Darren Wilson is the white gunslinger who brought the black “thug” to “justice”. This is cathartic violence for the White Right and its Fox News driven propaganda machine.

The supporters of Darren Wilson are enjoying the fun of a thrill kill; they are sharing ownership over the deed by donating money to their idol Darren Wilson."

Blacks who ask for donations get teased, whites who don't - and kill blacks - can get half a million white dollars overnight

Ol' Georgie Boy Zimmerman must be as in need of extra cash as I am, now,...

 

Tiiiiiiiime Is On My Side (Yes It Is!): Frank Taaffe Speaks

"What I know of George and his tendencies and also my opinion is that he racially profiled Trayvon Martin that night because if that had been a white kid on a cell phone, walking through our neighborhood, he wouldn't have stayed on him the way he did and that's a fact and I believe that in my heart.

I can only ask for the country to forgive me and today I believe that he racially profiled him based on the color of his skin.

I'm sorry that you lost your son, I know what that's like and I wish things had been different."

A Racist Country Without Any Racists (You Can Identify)

This Tea is starting to taste sort of bitter!

"Be black" is the answer, but go ahead and ask, anyway:

What the hell do you have to say, believe or do in America these days to actually, personally, be considered a racist? George Zimmerman, who shot Trayvon Martin for walking in a hoodie while black, was declared "not a racist". The GOP official who passed around pictures portraying President Obama as a monkey was "not racist". People who use the n-word if black people use it are "not racist". Even the Ku Klux Klan declared "We are not racists." 

 The sick part, because we blacks have to live with them, is whites sincerely believe this about themselves, no matter what they say, believe, or do - to others - and they're passing the message on:

Wait until the darkies get a load of YOU!

They're the source of all good in the world - or just their own minds,…

 

Hard Life In An Evil Land: How Safe Are Blacks Today?

George Mason University's History News Network has a message for America - especially black America:

"Statistically, It's Never Been Safer to Be Black in America. But That Doesn't Mean Black People are Safe from White Violence."

"Saying that America has become a better place for its black citizens than it was during the mid-nineteenth century is an awfully low bar to clear,…

In examining the span of time from Jefferson Davis to Jordan Davis, beyond the narrow focus on murder, we know that life in this country has only improved for African Americans because of the tears, sweat and blood shed by those who fought for equality. Of course, as a community, blacks have faced worse than the likes of Michael Dunn and George Zimmerman, and have never stopped fighting. Do I think they need my discussion of history and statistics in order to keep fighting now? Of course not."

Thank you, George Mason University:

It's a sign, of how clueless conservatives are, that they'd imagine - in the face of black boys being murdered and whites laughing about it - that I simply chose (as my own life was coming apart) to go on the warpath over race,…

Dr. Phil Interviewed George Zimmerman's Black Juror

The Only Black Juror On The Zimmerman Jury Speaks

It's a crying shame this treatment by whites sounds so familiar:

  Maddy had had it. The trial wasn’t over, but she was out of there. Rules or no rules, she was leaving. “If they had to put me in jail for going home, then put me in jail.” Three weeks of sequestration with five white women who didn’t understand the first thing about her, who demeaned and mocked and trivialized her, was more than enough. As the only minority juror in the nation’s most watched and most racially charged case in decades, she was done.

I'm Supposed To Run A Way-Back Machine (But Slavery)

Will somebody white, please, run the "monkey noises" machine? 

After months of this shit, my butt hurts:

A white software developer is about to go on trial in Florida in the death of a black teenager — in a case that raises comparisons to the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case.

...Police say Dunn fatally shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis in 2012 outside a Jacksonville convenience store after arguing over loud music that Davis and his friends were playing from their SUV.

American teenagers playing loud music - any reason's a good reason for somebody black to die.

Speaking of which - is anybody keeping an accurate count of how many high profile black murders we've seen recently - all at the hands of whites? Trayvon, naturally. And then there was the A-student Florida football player with car trouble (killed by the cops as he asked for help) the woman with car trouble (shot in the face as she asked for help) the brothers looking over their newly-bought plot of land (shotgun got the two of them for doing that) etc..

That's not all of them. But just now, as I was writing, I realized I don't want to be one of those pathetic black "race hustlers" who starts rattling off a humungus list of names of the dead, like he hopes somehow, eventually, as the syllables start to run into each other and history is revealed to be but a portal into a double helix of infinities, that somebody, anybody white would be so bold as to deign to, one day, actually give a fuck. I can't, because I don't expect anything of the kind to happen. 

Nah, because of that, I limit myself to rudely calling people "white" and "black", just like they did in this linked article.

OH:

I'll probably start attending a few extra funerals now, too.

You know:

Just to get up to speed on "race hustler" practice,…

George Zimmerman Is In Hell (Or Some Version Of It)

His credibility is falling so fast, it should almost be in China by now:

 “George Zimmerman's girlfriend who called Florida police to say he was breaking her stuff and was brandishing a weapon no longer wants to press charges against him and instead wants to get back together with him.

Zimmerman, 30, who faces a felony aggravated assault charge as well as lesser charges stemming from the incident, is asking to have conditions of his bail modified so he can resume contact with Samantha Scheibe.

According to court documents filed by Zimmerman's attorney Jayne Weintraub, Scheibe, 27, gave a sworn statement in which she wrote, 'I do not want George Zimmerman charged.'

Zimmerman, who had been acquitted earlier this year of murder in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, had posted a $9,000 bond and was barred from any contact with Scheibe. He was also ordered to give up his guns and wear an electronic monitor."

I don't know what's up with the guy, but I do know he needs to get out of this culture, or else it's going to eat him alive,...

 

Getting Off (On The Wrong Foot)

George Zimmerman left behind bullet-riddled target for wife to find

Losing Respect For Unreal People Isn't Easy In Cartoons

The plot to last night's South Park, "World War Zimmerman":

Eric Cartman believes that the town’s token black student, Token, blames him for the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case. This belief leads him to imagine that Token is “Patient Zero” in an epidemic of black violence that Trey Parker and Matt Stone equate with the zombie apocalypse from World War Z. The show mocks the Breitbart-fueled rumors of the black riots that would inevitably follow anything but a guilty verdict for Zimmerman.

The episode ends with the United States government — which believes the rumors of an epidemic of black violence — showing up at George Zimmerman’s house and asking him to “do what he does best”: “Shoot a young African-American.”

After he mistakenly shoots a black-faced Cartman, Zimmerman laments that he’ll “have to live with this for the rest of his life, even though [he'll] be a free man.”

When an officer discovers that Cartman is white, Zimmerman’s immediately arrested and summarily executed.

Cartman = Cody Jarrett:

Here's the link to the entire episode if you want to watch,...

 

George Zimmerman - Does Anybody Know This Guy?

Not the kind of act that's going to make me warm to him:

  "(George) just kind of treated me like I was disposable. After standing by him, he kind of left. And I guess he kind of went on a victory tour without me. And I thought I was living a life with him and that we were going to kind of rebuild after all of this — and he had other plans for me."

That's George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie. I know what this has done to me but I still have a lot of sympathy for George Zimmerman (You hear that, Cody?) and I'm still watching, but something does seem off. The white supremacist spokesman. Zimmerman's adoring fans making monkey noises. The family/community man who (understandable to me anyway) abandons everyone temporarily - to return in attack mode? 
Naw, something ain't right:

And if you've got an explanation, I'm all ears,...

 

After Years Of Saying, "If You Don't Care, Nobody Else Has To," They Think I'm Crazy (For Acting Like Them,...)

So - how are all of Ann Althouse's "losers" today? Wanna talk about race some more? How about gays? I'm sure I've got some glitter around here, somewhere, that I can fart in someone's face "to make a point." Or will it?

No - not really. Because Americans don't give a shit about my points or yours. Quick to anger, slow to think, that's who we are. It's no mistake one of the most well-known and popular phrases in American english is "What you lookin' at?" because it reflects our sense of our own ignorance so well:

I'm looking at you, asshole.

When I moved to France years ago, I had the shock and misfortune of, on my first day, being engaged with a French nationalist. He had nothing but resentment for George W. Bush and the United States and, immediately, challenged me to prove why Americans are better than everyone else. He, and others, became determined to change my mind about my country and it's people - usually based on race - though they never did. It even got physical. I didn't care. They were French, and I was American, and I seriously didn't care - I'd take them all on. I had friends back home, of every race and nationality, I was proud to bleed for.

But now I'm back, living at home - begging everyone to shut up about race - and my fellow citizens are ever determined to prove the asshole frogs right. Whites talk about "fair" when they know the numbers are so skewed in their favor that such a possibility is probably impossible. Blacks talk about unfairness, like they never catch a break, even after all these years. And neither group thinks about anybody else unless they have to - not just that many blacks are paranoid about being outnumbered by their family's former "masters," but gays, hispanics, asians, etc.. It's all very sick, if you think about it too hard. And we do. Rarely, though, for the kids.

It's so easy to take a "side". Sure, Trayvon Martin was probably, enthralled with "Thug Life," coming home to drink some Lean, and - by age and temporary temperament - not mature enough to handle confrontation well. That still doesn't mean he deserved to die. That doesn't change he was somebody's kid. And it also doesn't mean he, both by his family and the community, wasn't loved.

And, while George Zimmerman may have acted in good faith, only concerned for the safety of his community, that still doesn't change an outlook that - as evidenced by his friends - is pretty insecure. (I'm not even going to comment on the multitude of gun owners who, supposedly, have hearts big enough to care for the community but - when faced with a member of that community - can't think to aim for an arm or a leg,...) George Zimmerman is free, as he should be, but there should also be little cheering. His was not exactly an act of bravery. But instead of a muted response, just by sheer numbers (again) he got an ugly roar of approval. And it was very ugly.

Whites should accept that.

I'm not going to keep up with this racial nonsense because - while the cultish thinking that supports race and racism are a subject I'm happy to cover - TMR's focus has always been on cults, not whatever silly idea or impulse motivates them. Yes, I was born into the "black" one, but we could be fighting over sugar, for all it matters. (And, being Americans, probably would.) I broke free of racism, a long time ago, and - I strongly suggest - the rest of you consider doing the same. As you can see, especially in this silly culture, where "Oh Yeah?" is considered a nifty rejoinder, it ain't going to get us very far.

If any of you were troubled, by the last week's output, don't be. I could give a fuck about race, today, as much as always. What I can't get over is how often it affects everyone else. Let Drudge, or NPR, or FOX, or MSNBC, or (yes) Glenn Reynolds and the mean-spirited folks at Twitchy, ring the bell and Pavlov's snarling dogs come running - Every. Single. Time. It's not smart, it's not helpful, and it's not respectable.

And those three things - without a PC veneer - encapsulate exactly what I've been trying to regain, in and for my home, since I returned to it, gladly, oh so long ago.

If only in my own eyes.

I hope my little "protest" was a good *enough* example of the futility inherent in it. (It took a lot out of me.) Didn't like it? Think it was unworthy? Unfair? Not "right"? Well, flip it upside-down, moron:

I could spend this week doing the exact same thing - for whites - and it would look just the same,...
