As I begin this article. I'm not insinuating that Treyvon Martin was manufactured as a person. I'm talking about the recent explosion of media attention regarding the brown-on-black slaying of Treyvon Martin by a neighborhood-watch volunteer named George Zimmerman.
I'm not going to talk about the facts of the case because they aren't fully known, and changing every day. I'm going to talk about the "why". Not the "Why did Zimmerman shoot Martin", or "why are they showing baby pictures of a 6-foot tall 17-year old on the news". I'm going to talk about the REAL why question. Why all the media attention?
Let's look at some statistics, since the beginning of 2012 about 117,000 black people have been killed. 93% of murders are black-on-black violence, so that leaves 7% or about 8,000 murders where the victim was black, while the killer was not black.
The whole Treyvon Martin incident happened about a month before it made the news cycle, but why? Why did it take so long for all the usual suspects to learn about this issue? If you remember what was happening during those weeks, it was the so-called "War on Women" where the Democrats were trying to use their assault on the First Amendment's Freedom of Religion into a War of Women that was trying to take away their birth control. It was a ridiculous pretense, and it didn't work. Obama's numbers were actually FALLING with women.
So it was on to Plan B, a Race War. They just needed an incident to rally behind, and Treyvon Martin's death fit the template. He was a black minor, and his killer was not black. They probably didn't realize he was Hispanic, or a registered Democrat, but they made an educated guess based on his non-Hispanic sounding last name.
The truth is that Treyvon Martin was just one incident they could have exploited out of several thousand. Had the incident never occurred, and Treyvon was alive today, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et all would be out in the streets over the death of some other black person at the hands of some other non-black person.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the death of Treyvon Martin, it's Obama's attempt to recover from his fizzled "War of Women" with a "War of Black People". If on average 300 black people are murdered every day, and about 20 of them are killed by someone who's non-black, why all the outrage over this one incident?
It is all manipulation. Obama and the Democrats know that the murder rates (although tragic) aren't going to motivate anyone. However, by personalizing the issue with a single name, a single face, they think that they can motivate people to act. The specific name and face aren't important whatsoever.
Will this tactic work? Obama's numbers don't really need to be boosted with black people, he has that vote locked down. This is actually very likely to HURT Obama with Hispanic voters, but the extent of which is unknown at this time. The larger question is why did Obama use his biggest trump card (race) in March? The Republican nominee hasn't even been chosen yet, and Obama is already using his biggest guns.
I guess we shall see in the coming months how this manufactured Race War fits into the Democrat's other operations with Unions and the Occupy movement. If this doesn't gain traction, it's difficult to tell if Obama and the Democrats have any other tricks up their sleeves.
