| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| What does it take to recognize the truth? | |
| I've been thinking about this in light of the demonstrations that are still going on nearly 70 days after a white policeman in Ferguson, Missouri shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown. | |
| But the question took on a particular urgency just last Wednesday when a different white policeman Ten miles away in St. Louis shot a different black teenager, Von Derrick Myers. | |
| Just as in Ferguson, blacks said it was outright murder. | |
| Young Von Derrick's cousin, Tayona Myers, said he was holding a sandwich, which the police thought was a gun. | |
| "It's like Michael Brown all over again," she said. | |
| And on the strength of Tayona's allegations, blacks Again accused a white policeman of murder. | |
| They spent a few days rampaging through the part of St. Louis where Evanderet was shot. | |
| They vandalized police cars, pitched rocks through the windows of homes and businesses, they shouted"Fuck the police!" and they ripped American flags off of porches and burned them. | |
| But unlike what happened in the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, The St. Louis police put out a statement right away explaining what happened. | |
| Von Derritt had a gun, not a sandwich, and fired three times before the white officer returned fire. | |
| Police found the gun at the scene. | |
| But black demonstrators were having none of this. | |
| It was a sandwich, says Von Derritt's mother, even though she wasn't there. | |
| On Tuesday of this week, however, The police issued a forensic report that makes it pretty clear that it was a loaded 9mm sandwich. | |
| The 18-year-old Von Deret had gunshot residue on his right hand and at his waist where he had been carrying the gun. | |
| Three bullets recovered from the ground where the white officer was taking cover were unquestionably fired from Von Deret's gun. | |
| Social media pictures have turned up of Von Deret posing with a collection of guns on his lap, one of which looks exactly like the one the police found at the scene. | |
| Do you see that two-toned automatic with the black receiver and silver slide? | |
| That's an unusual style of gun, and it's the same brand and caliber as the one police found at the scene. | |
| It was reported stolen not long before the shooting. | |
| Here's another picture of Von Derritt clowning around with his pals. | |
| He's the one in the lower right. | |
| The 18-year-old was, as the police delicately put it, no stranger to law enforcement. | |
| When he was shot, he was wearing an ankle bracelet, which was a condition for being out on bail on, right, gun charges. | |
| But now that the forensic report is out, the question is this. | |
| Will Von Derritt Myers join the pantheon of black martyrs to white racism, along with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown? | |
| You'd like to think not. | |
| But when it comes to blacks and loony lefty whites, you never know. | |
| A senior editor at Ebony Magazine has already said that she has"no reason to believe the St. Louis Police Department's report." So, there you go. | |
| But there's an important difference between the Von Derritt story and the other two. | |
| The sandwich was gospel for only about 10 days before the sandwich turned out to be a gun. | |
| So I think there's maybe a 50 /50 chance that Von Derritt and his sandwich will just fade away. | |
| In the Ferguson case, though, blacks had been rioting and yelling,"Hands up! | |
| Don't shoot!" for what seemed like weeks. | |
| Before we learned that the gentle giant, Michael Brown, was high on marijuana, had robbed a convenience store, had fractured Officer Darren Wilson's eye socket, and that all 294 pounds of him may have been charging at him full tilt when Officer Darren Wilson opened fire. | |
| It's true, we don't yet know exactly what happened, and the grand jury is still making up its mind whether to indict. | |
| Officer Wilson. | |
| But one thing we do know is that the initial eyewitness claims, just like the claim about the sandwich, were, well, let's just call them inaccurate. | |
| The forensic report that finally did come out of Ferguson proved that young Michael was not shot in the back, as initially claimed. | |
| But you see, none of this matters to the demonstrators. | |
| Earlier this week, More than two months after the shooting, 100 clergy, backed by hundreds of supporters, celebrated what they called"Moral Monday." They converged on the Ferguson Police Department and noisily offered the officers inside an opportunity to, | |
| in their words,"repent." When someone asked one of the preachers,"Osagyefo Seku," who had come all the way from Boston, Who was leading the protest? | |
| He said it was Jesus. | |
| Cornel West, who has taught at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, was also there to offer the officers a chance to repent. | |
| Of course, of the three shooting incidents, we know the most about Trayvon Martin because there was a trial. | |
| The jury found that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in justifiable self-defense. | |
| And not even Eric Holder's Justice Department, after more than two years of digging, could scrape together the evidence to charge Mr. Zimmerman with a civil rights violation. | |
| But again, none of this matters. | |
| In the minds of millions of blacks and who knows how many loony whites, Trayvon Martin is still the cherub who went to buy Skittles and tea and was profiled and gunned down by a vicious white man. | |
| Did you know there's something called the Trayvon Martin Foundation? | |
| According to its website, its purpose is to increase public awareness of racial profiling, and it was founded, quote, in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin. | |
| Not the shooting. | |
| Not the death. | |
| The murder of Trayvon Martin. | |
| Trayvon's mother, Sabrina Fulton, is now in high demand as a speaker at Prayer Riley's Earlier this year, | |
| a college in Florida produced a dramatic production called"The Trayvon Martin Project" in honor of the young martyr. | |
| Justice for Trayvon t-shirts are still for sale on Amazon. | |
| A black cellist at North Carolina Central University named Timothy Holley Put on a concert this year in which the main piece was dedicated to the memory of Trayvon Martin. | |
| I predict that Michael Brown will get the same treatment. | |
| I'm prepared to look at the evidence when it comes out, but I don't think most blacks are. | |
| No matter what the facts turn out to be, he will always be the gentle giant murdered in cold blood by a racist cop. | |
| And this brings us back to my initial question. | |
| What does it take to see the truth? | |
| A shooting is a relatively simple event. | |
| Michael Brown either was or wasn't shot in the back. | |
| Von Derrick Meyer either did or didn't fire a gun at a cop. | |
| If blacks and whites can't look at concrete events like that the same way, what can they look at the same way? | |
| These days, there's an awful lot of jabber about Institutional racism and white privilege and racial profiling. | |
| If blacks and whites can't even agree on something as specific as a shooting, what chance is there of any agreement on a muddy abstraction like white privilege? | |
| Blacks and whites don't seem to see things the same way. | |
| Or there could be a different explanation. | |
| Smart blacks Like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, they may very well see the facts. | |
| They probably know that Michael Brown was not shot like an animal, as so many other blacks seem to believe. | |
| But they never miss a chance to stir up hatred and keep Whitey on the hop. | |
| It's the difference between being blind to the facts and seeing the facts clearly. | |
| But having a racial agenda for which the facts just don't matter. | |
| It's like the O.J. Simpson trial. | |
| It was clear to some blacks that he had killed Nicole Brown, but they were ecstatic when he was acquitted because they wanted him to get away with killing her. | |
| Some blacks just want revenge. | |
| If one of theirs dies, they want tribal payback. | |
| Just last month in St. Louis, A black with a gun robbed six whites and told them,"This is for Michael Brown." So, do blacks really think George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin in cold blood because he was black? | |
| Or do they know better, but just want to browbeat white people and squeeze more concessions out of us? | |
| Take your pick. | |
| Either way, It explains why there is no honest public conversation about race. | |
| Blacks and whites see the world so differently, they hardly speak the same language. |
