This is a case you should remember the next time they force you to hear about lynchings or “redlining” or the time Jackie Robinson allegedly heard a rude comment.



The case has not been called a hate crime; police say the attack was “random.” Lawrence Auster wrote about this sort of thing in 2012; it’s always “random.” There would be a frantic investigation of motive if a white person killed a black child. The FBI sent 25 agents to Florida to interview 75 people to sniff out George Zimmerman’s racial attitudes after he was found innocent of killing Trayvon Martin in the state murder trial. This black killer’s mother already says society failed her.




The Smithsonian Institution has announced an exhibit of Trayvon Martin’s “flight suit.”




It is part of an exhibit on the “broad and impactful spectrum of Afrofuturism.”


Pro-Palestine protesters outside the White House a few weeks ago vandalized monuments and held up a model severed head of President Joe Biden. No arrests. The National Park Service cleaned up the mess.
