What Everyone Needs To Know About The Smear Campaign Against Trayvon Martin (1995-2012)

bedbugsbiting:

blackfashion:

1. Prominent conservative websites published fake photos of Martin. Twitchy, a new website run by prominent conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, promoted a photo — purportedly from Martin’s Facebook page — that shows Martin in saggy pants and flipping the bird. The photo, which spread quickly on conservative websites and Twitter, is intended to paint Martin as a thug. As Twitchy later acknowledged, it is not a photo of Trayvon Martin. [Examiner]

2. The Sanford Police selectively leaked irrelevant, negative information about Martin. The authorities told the Orlando Sentinel this morning that Trayvon was suspended from school for ten days “after being found with an empty marijuana baggie.” There is no evidence that Martin was under the influence of drugs at the time of his death, nor would prior possession of marijuana be a reason for killing him. It’s unclear what the relevance of the leak was, other than to smear Martin. [Orlando Sentinel]

3. On Fox News, Geraldo said that Martin was dressed “like a wannabe gangster.” Bill O’Reilly agreed with him. The sole evidence is that Martin was wearing a hoodie. Geraldo added that “everyone that ever stuck up a convenience store” was wearing a hoodie. [ThinkProgress; The Blaze]

4. Without any evidence, prominent right-wing bloggers suggested that Martin was a drug dealer. Right-wing blogger Dan Riehl advances the theory, also advanced in a widely linked piece on a site called Wagist. There does not appear to be any evidence to support this claim whatsoever. [Riehl World View]

5. Without any evidence, a right-wing columnist alleged that Martin assaulted a bus driver. Unlike Zimmerman, Trayvon has no documented history of violence. This allegation continues to be advanced by a blogger on the Examiner even after the real reason was leaked to the police and confirmed by the family. [Miami Herald; Examiner]

6. Zimmerman’s friend says Martin was to blame because he was disrespectful to Zimmerman. Zimmerman’s friend Joe Oliver said that Martin would not have been shot to death if Trayvon had just said “I’m staying with my parents.” Of course, Zimmerman was not a police officer, and Trayvon had no duty to tell him who he was or where he was going. [NBC News]

Read the full article here.

What I find most disturbing is the not-so-subtle implication that any of this (even if true) makes Zimmerman’s actions excusable. This bothers me in particular with the pictures of the kid in saggy pants. In everything I read about that, there was an indication that it is somehow “okay” or “understandable” to shoot a kid for looking like that, or even to shoot that kid in particular.

I would also like to know how many of these “journalists” smoked pot when they were 17.

Dear Satan,

FIRST of all, you have no idea that I will write you this letter. You didn’t see this coming, why? because you’re not like my Savior Jesus Christ who knows my every thoughts & my heart from the inside out. Poor you, you can only feed thoughts in my head and not read my mind. Your only hope is if I bite back, and I have to admit.. I do, sometimes. But that’s okay.

I purposely wanted for you to read this. As God as my witness and my other fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I will express what I feel about you, why? So that we can all stand against you and your lame deceiving lies.

SECOND I want you to know that I HATE you and the evil that you bring.

I know.. hate’s a pretty strong word. But Scriptures says:

Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. - Romans 12:9

I think it’s safe for me to say ‘Satan you’re evil therefore I HATE you.’ I know I’m commanded to love my neighbor and my enemys. But Obviously you’re not human so you’re definitely not my neighbor. So just to make things clear, you are an enemy & you’re evil, therefore I shall hate you because you are evil.

LAST thing, before I continue with this last thought, I have to warn you, I don’t think you wanna read this last part, Because I know you’ve read this part from somewhere, I think it’s the last book of the bible called REVELATION.. and I don’t think you wanna be reminded of what I’m about to say, But I will do it anyway.

As much as I fall for your lies, and deceiving ways, and the thoughts that you put in my head, and how some days I stumble, I want you to know that..

YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!

You know who has power over you? Jesus Christ. He died on the Cross and He rose from the grave proving that He is fully human and fully God. He paid for my sins (past, present & future) I’ve been bought and redeemed by His precious blood. He owns me, you don’t.

Did I forget to mention that He is The Ultimate and Righteous Judge. The One who will judge the living and the dead.. that includes you.

I hope you’re trembling with fear right now.. you should be, by being reminded by this. Because I know, and you know, WE ALL KNOW, that at the very end of this life, it says in Revelation, that you Satan,

who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where him and his angels had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. - Rev 20:10

I may fall from your dark schemes and lies from time to time, but that won’t stop me from Loving and following God. I will strive to stand against you by the power of the Holy Spirit that’s living inside of me.

At the end of the day, that’s all you can do, tempt me. Lie to me. hoping you can stray me away from God and drag me down to hell with you? That’s not gonna fly with me. My best advice for you is enjoy and have fun on what you’re doing now, because when ‘this’ all over, I don’t think you’ll enjoy being tormented in HELL.

P.S. - Dear Followers, re-blog so other brothers & sister who are struggling can be encouraged!
