‘Unarmed Black Teenagers — Threat, Menace, Or Both? David Frum Doesn’t Seem To Know’

March 26, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

Says James Fulford:

You frequently hear that an “unarmed” black teenager has been killed by a police officer or citizen by mistake, or in legitimate self-defense.

But you will never see a (except occasionally on VDARE.com) a headline that says “Black Teenager Commits Murder”, “Black Teenager Commits Rape”, or “Mob Of Black Teenagers Terrorizes Citizens.”

Fulford then singles out Frum’s smug tweets regarding the Trayvon/Zimmerman case (in particular Frum’s unsolicited  advice to Romney that he phone Trayvon’s family and “run for President of all of American”).

(My memo to Frum — and Chris Matthews — JFK has been dead for almost 50 years…)

Fulford writes:

That’s absolutely insane. Every single voter who thinks that black teenagers are the victims in their interactions with white people is a Democrat.

So is every single voter who disapproves of criminals being punished, or who thinks people should not be allowed to carry guns for self-defense. Nothing on earth could get Romney one of those votes. (…)

Here’s my suggestion for Frum and Romney—instead of calling the family of an “unarmed” black teenager killed by mistake, call, starting tomorrow, the family of someone who has been killed, on purpose, by an “unarmed” black teenager.

Call one of those families every day.

And if you run out of families of people killed by “unarmed” black teenagers before the end of a year—that is if there are fewer than 365 of them—then call the family of Trayvon Martin.
