''Racism is alive and well in America''
People v. State
by John Kindley
03/27/12
Like Barry Wilson, I too believe that racism is alive and well in America. I also believe, like many others, that the circumstances surrounding the shooting in Florida of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman proves it. Not because I know that Zimmerman is a racist, or that his shooting of Martin was unjustified. The jury is still out on those questions. No, the circumstances surrounding this shooting prove that racism is alive and well in America because thus far the criminal justice system is extending to George Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt to which all human beings are entitled but which in my experience only the white are actually given...

Who wants a race war?
by Ayn R. Key
04/15/12
One thing to take away from the Trayvon Martin case is that someone apparently wants there to be more racial tension in the United States, possibly up to a race war. It is difficult to determine who or why at this time, but that there is a pattern showing that the tensions are being increased is undeniable...

It s a paradoxical fact of life in Imperial America that the more intolerant we are of racism, real or imaginary, here on the home front, the more blatantly ethnocentric our foreign policy becomes. This is reflected in the US government?s shocking disregard for non-white lives...

Trayvon Martin and Racist Violence in Post-Racial America
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: ''The killing of a young African-American boy, Trayvon Martin, by an overzealous white Hispanic security guard ... has devolved into a spectacle. While there is plenty of moral outrage to go around, a recognition that racism is alive and well in America, and that justice has been hijacked by those who can afford it, the broader and more fundamental questions and analyses are not being raised.''

Unarmed Black Woman Shot and Killed by Chicago Police Officer Less Than a Month After Trayvon Martin Shooting
Rania Khalek, Truthout: ''Sutton and Boyd have been independently canvassing the neighborhood where the shooting took place to hear what witnesses and neighbors have to say. According to Sutton, witnesses say the officer appeared intoxicated that night and was known by neighbors to have been drunk most of the time. Witnesses also say the off-duty officer approached the park in an unmarked car dressed in plain clothes while yelling belligerently at the crowd to 'shut up.' More importantly, they say he never identified himself as a police officer.''

Beyond the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: ''The American public is suffering from an education deficit. By this I mean it exhibits a growing inability to think critically, question authority, be reflective, weigh evidence, discriminate between reasoned arguments and opinions, listen across differences and engage the mutually informing relationship between private problems and broader public issues. This growing political and cultural illiteracy is not merely a problem of the individual, one that points to simple ignorance.''
