The recent trial of Mr. Zimmerman and the lengthy and acrimonious run up to this trial has given a handful of Black bigots a 'cause' to use to inflame the Black underclass and to fan the embers of hate.

A tragic event which cost the life of a Black youth has been shamelessly used by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton, to name just 2 of the various Black media whores. These 2 and others in the Black community are eager to turn the spotlights of the media on themselves and to attempt to follow in the foot steps of Mr. King and other notables in the Civil Rights movement.

Sharpton and Jackson are no Martin Luther King. Both work tirelessly to foment unrest and hate in the Black community. They seek out controversy and where they can not find a genuine issue they make one up. (Remember Sharpton's phony Tawana Brawley rape scandal of the late 1980's?)

The coming demonstrations in the billed '100 Cities' this coming weekend will probably involve fewer cities but will without doubt result in at least a few of them turning into riots. We have already seen instances of violence involving Black youths beating up a Hispanic man and telling him that 'this is for Travon', there has been minor rioting in California.

A tragedy for the Martin family is being shamelessly misused by those who have no interest in Civil Rights, but who seek only self promotion and media attention.

This weekend will almost surely lead to deaths in some cities, either at the hands of those rioters or in the Police response. Sharpton and Jackson are waiting in the wings to seize upon the deaths of any demonstrators to use as 'proof' that Whites hate Blacks. Once this snowball starts rolling downhill it will not be easily stopped.

The lack of leadership by our President and the Attorney General is simply amazing. Rather than take on this matter and nip it in the bud both have been entirely absent and in the case of the Attorney General he has in fact made statements that seem to assure the Black community that further Federal charges will be forthcoming. Nothing could be further from the truth but his seeming to agree to such charges plays into the hands of the radical Black establishment.

If this is not immediately taken in hand we won't be listening to reports of a civil war in Egypt as we will be a Race War here in the United States.
