SO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTINUING RACISM?

Is there anything that either the White House or the media will not do to keep the racism carrot ahead of the cart?

One sigh of relief from so many of us Americans is the fact that we no longer have to rely on the jury system to determine whether a suspect was guilty of a crime based on the allegation of racism as their motivation to commit it.

Apparently, regardless of the deliberation by the six member jury and their eventual decision to find George Zimmerman "not guilty" - the Justice Department is still not convinced - nor concerned about their growing reputation as "the hand servant of the King".

Not only did the jury find the defendant "not guilty" of second degree murder, they opted not to convict him of the lesser - but still punitive charge of Manslaughter - punishable by 10 to 30 years in prison.

"Not to worry" ye strident minorities who were disappointed by the verdict but will continue to vote Democrat; Attorney General Eric Holder is coming to your rescue.

As if the Justice Depaertment and Holder do not have enough to do to convince the voting public that they are not biased toward anything that does not favor the President and the Democrat party - they have now decided to investigate further to determine if George Zimmerman may be guilty of a civil violation.This was just announced by Holder to the largest black sorority in our country.

And not-withstanding that the prior decision to obtain civil relief in the OJ case was prompted by the family of the victim - not the government - and the conclusion of our FBI - after a thorough investigation- that the matter in question was not prompted by racism - the "Injustice" Department carries on their misguided vigil.

In view of the criticism this governmental department has undegone in the last year or so, we should be encouraged by the fact that somebody in Washington possesses the biggest brass balls of all time. You are free to figure who this might be on your own. I'm still struggling to be neutral.

"Justice" (?) made their determination to pursue this on the heels of a Presidential message to the nation following the verdict that ever so subtly supports the dis belief of these potential racists who are convinced the 6 women (5 white and 1 Hispanic)  were hellbent on freeing this non-black defendant.

That would be despite photos of the deceased in a position on top of the defendant - and eye witness testimony confirming his allegations that the death of Travon Martin was prompted by the excessive force the deceased had brought to bear on the defendant and the first interview with a clearly non-biased juror.

It would also be despite the further supported argument made by the defendant via the photos of his visible injuries about his face and upper body that they were allegedly caused by the actions of the deceased.

Despite all of this, we have the reassurance from  the Justice Department that their oncoming probe was neither approved nor directed by our President.

As a result we are left to repeat our conclusion that despite the most convincing example in a while of the fairness of the jury system their verdict cannot be viewed by us as the final decision. It is whether or not the Justice Departmen is satisfied with a legal decision that is being protested by their largest voting block - African Americans.

For some time I have railed against what I saw as a tremendously pathetic political party - the Republicans - who without exception accused any action or suspected non-action by the Democrats as being politically motivated. I did so as a registered voter of that party  - and sometimes conflicted supporter (within reason) for over 50 years.

Given this follow- up decision to the Martin-Zimmerman verdict by Holder and the Justice Department  - not to be confused with the musical group from your past - "Paul Revere and The Raiders" - it is clear to this humble guy, who constantly looks for balance in anything political - that we are moving to the wrong end of the continuom of the concerns our forefathers had in mind   about the possible abuse of power by the government they had established.

Who promotes racism? Not Paula Deen. It is promoted by various other entities  simply because of their realization that to do so it sells newspapers - periodicals- TV shows - could affect corporate profits - and may help impact the mid-term elections.

Folks, ask yourself: is there anything presently we won't do in this country in the voracious pursuit of money and power?

My advice: Stay home. Don't waste your time Diogenes!
