Raced Based Violence

Remember when the nation went nuts after a Latino white man profiled another man child based on the color of his skin and the fact that he was wearing a hoodie?

I’m waiting for the same outrage when a black kid wearing a hoodie profiled a Latino man wearing a purple shirt and shot and killed that man’s one year old child.

Although the victim’s father was not a gang member, he may have been mistaken for one because he was wearing a purple T-shirt, witnesses and area residents said.

Purple had become a dangerous color since last summer, when the area experienced a number of shootings involving a black gang known as Fudgetown and a rival Latino gang, called Barrio Grape Street, which uses the color purple.

Based on his race and clothing, one man’s child is dead.

Outrage?

  1. Where’s Al Sharpton on this one? Or the mainstream media? Nowhere. Since both are about convenient and manufactured outrage when it comes to race, I doubt we’ll see much on this – unless some left-wing study immediately links this shooting directly to white oppression and poverty rather than pure thuggery as a way to let this kid off the hook.

      That’s my point.

      In Florida we have a case that appears to be one of an understood law: Stand Your Ground.

      Here in LA we have a real case of a kid of one race, wearing a hoodie no less, targeting a man of another race in part because of the clothing he’s wearing.

      MSNBC?

      No where.

  2. The whole Trevon Martin case is a big loser for the race smerchants . I have some far left friends who are really angry with their fellow liberals on this one. Just another sign that the great 2008 Liberal-Progressive coalition that took the Presidency and both Houses of Congress continues to fracture .

      Look, I am absolutely sympatico with those folks who identify authorities that are racist bigot ass holes. But these race baiters are horrible for that cause.

      America is center right. We are alos anti “rich old white guy out of touch man” too. When enough people rise up against that idea we get what we got.

      Ugh.

      If only republicans could behave enough.
