Former UN Ambassador: Trayvon Martin Is A ‘Martyr’
CBS
August 28, 2013
(CBS TAMPA) – Former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young stated that Trayvon Martin is one of several martyrs under the cause of civil rights violence and injustice.
In a lead-up to President Barack Obama’s address marking the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement March on Washington, the former U.N. ambassador under President Jimmy Carter interrupted MSNBC guest host Joy Ann-Reid’s question on troubles in the African-American community to express his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin case.
“No, Trayvon is a martyr. We’ve had a string of martyrs from the time of Emmett Till. Every generation has its string of martyrs and they’re going to continue. And we celebrate them and we lift them up to know that they’re not lost,” said Young.
“But I can never forget that three weeks after this magnificent speech four little girls were bombed in their Sunday school class and two kids, who nobody ever knew about, were slaughtered riding bicycles for nothing.”
In addition to his ambassadorship, Young has served as the mayor of Atlanta, a congressman in Georgia’s 5th district and as a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
“The world will never be perfect, but we can never accept this kind of suffering, injustice,” continued Young. “And, for me, Zimmerman is just as much a tragedy as Trayvon. His life is ruined over a love of guns and a false sense of what manhood is.”
“A wannabe cop,” adds a show guest off-camera.
“The president’s business is to talk to us and say something that is going to have an impact on Egypt at the same time,” Young said, “because our problems of poverty are reflected in the 50 million people in the streets of Egypt because the economy doesn’t include them.”
Young continued: “The world is falling apart and nobody can bring it back together and nobody can define a vision of victory but a president of the United States.”

Trayvon attacked, broke his nose and was beating Zimmerman's head into the concrete. What part of self defense do you not understand.

No Zimmerman is a victim, Travyon was on drugs and attacked him thinking he may be a gay rapist which is a thought his GF put in his head.
The high on lean and cannabis Trayvon may have been legally insane at the time and thought he was being validly paranoid.
He doubled back to Zimmerman's truck and attacked Zimmerman leading to a scuffle and attempted escape to safety by Zimmerman.
Trayvon prevented it and bashed his head into pavement in so doing gave him valid defense to shoot.

They think like voodoo practitioners. Word means more than deed and imagination means more than physical, observable, falsifiable reality. That is why the yehuds have so much interest in them - you can literally get them to take the most ridiculous, impossible things seriously , if you now how to excite their limbic systems; and they ignore everything that matters to physical existence. Confabulate, oh man, their left parietal lobes are working strong, and their frontal cortices not so much.

Remember, MSNBC is the same one that falsely edited the Zimmerman phone call to make him sound like a racist, and also stacked their discussion panels completely with those saying Zimmerman is a racist and guilty. They refused to mention Zimmerman's extensive pro black history, and refused to mention Trayvon's extensive thug history. MSNBC tried hard to fry Zimmerman and they put Zimmerman and his family at even greater risk. MSNBC plays the race card constantly, everyday.

Those inglorious speeches yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial have certainly made huge progress in ridding our nation of racial hatred and tensions.

I remember Andrew Young as the Amb to the UN under Carter. He was one of the worst ever to have held that office.....that is, until 0bama appointed the current one.
Andy boy is your typical racist who made a fortune off the civil rights movement, which of course, his 'bros are becoming poorer. He is a disgusting man.

RE: He's a 'Martyr'????!?!
So there's a correlation between Trayvon and the Islamofascists who killed almost 3000 people on 9/11.
Not to forget the likes of the DC Snipers and the Fort Hood mass murderer.
How 'interesting'.....

That's their regular MO. Facts don't matter. Only emotions. They are, technically speaking, mentally ill.
It should be apparent by now that these social policies [of modern liberalism] and the passions that drive them contradict all that is rational in human relating, and they are therefore irrational in themselves. But the faulty conceptions that lie behind these passions cannot be viewed as mere cognitive slippage.
The degree of modern liberalism’s irrationality far exceeds any misunderstanding that can be attributed to faulty fact gathering or logical error.
Indeed, under careful scrutiny, liberalism’s distortions of the normal ability to reason can only be understood as the product of psychopathology.
So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche. The modern liberal mind, its distorted perceptions and its destructive agenda are the product of disturbed personalities. -- Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. MD, The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.

How ass backwards and self defeating has the civil rights movement become?
Would Andrew Young be calling George Zimmerman a martyr if Trayvon Martin had succeeded in beating him to death?
No, because no one would have heard of it.

"...four little girls were bombed in their Sunday school class and two kids, who nobody ever knew about, were slaughtered riding bicycles for nothing."
And no decent person would not see those as senseless, horrible crimes. However, to equate their deaths with Trayvon Martin being killed in self defense after he attacked someone is to insult the memory of all the truly innocent children who have been victims. To ask decent people to make that leap is to insult their intelligence and require them to abandon their very sense of decency.

Cynical politicians exploiting the ignorance of a ethnic group for what? What is there to gain by giving a brawler, who fought and lost, the status of a slain hero or saint? Do we live on the same planet? When does ignorance become schizophrenia?

Given the progressive mindset, tomorrow's text books may very well portray T Martin as an historical figure in American history. . . . at which time, America will have reached a point of being 'lost'.

Trayvon was a watermelon fruit cocktail drinking GAY basher.
1. Look at he evidence photos (that was not an ice tea, media lies, it was a watermelon fruit cocktail... and watermelon juice was the seventh ingredient: water, high fructose syrup, pear juice, mango juice, pineapple juice, kiwi juice, watermelon juice... (a drink clearly marketed to blacks living the stereotype).
2. Rachel Jeantel testified (A) Trayvon lost the guy following him immediately after he ran and arrived home safe (for you rubes are too lazy to watch the trial) and (B) after over four minutes of listening to Rachel talk Trayvon into committing a HATE CRIME (bragging about it on CNN Morgan's show) Trayvon left the safety of his back door to find Zimmerman and beat him (to death?) because Rachel (an adult) convinced Trayvon Zimmerman was a gay rapist...
...Zimmerman shot that rabid dog in self defense... trayvon thought he was man enough to attack a gay man in the dark and have his way with him... dumb unsupervised teen (Rachel and Trayvon should have been charged with a hate crime but the racist Attorney General and his Boss lack the intestinal fortitude to the right thing... truth be told they are afraid of blacks (blacker than them).

I, too, think Rachel talked, or bullied, TRAYvon into going back to, "...put some whoopass on that ass-crackerr (gay)".
It's raining, cold, wind is blowing, TRAYvon is all wet, has all the ingredients to make his LEAN or PURPLE DRANK and is 60 feet from his front door looking forward to getting high(er) and suddenly reverses course, hunts down Zimmerman and attacks him? Naw. Rachel talked him into it.
Now, all you race baiting low IQ punks, get this:
TRAYvon be daid 'cause he attacked an armed crackerr.
And since all the black on white violence that has followed the Zimmerman trial, there be a lot more armed crackerrs out there...
Feel me?
Knowamsayin'?

Doesn't MSNBC not wonder why their ratings are tanking? I mean, OMG, such idiotic statements from morons! Trayvon a martyr?
Zimmerman was the one crucified here for defending his life from a wannabe gangster.
Zimmerman was being a good citizen protecting his neighborhood.

Zimmerman will end up owning NBC by the time he gets done with them.
Everytiem there is a commercial on NBC or MSNBC you can smile and know that the money they just paid for the advertisement is going to Zimmerman.

Tray tray was not a wannabe gangster, he was a gay basher (and not any good at it either)... he did prove to be a good bullet catcher... and thus he was good at something in addition to being good for nothing).

I bet a thousand dollars Trayvon Martin will be voting in every election (by absentee ballot for sure and likely several times in person, though he will sometimes be a she or elderly or etc)... because democrats love the voting dead (as they cannot win elections honestly).

Sadly, black youths do not have any heroes to LOOK UP to... anyone worthy of hero status in the black community is dead and buried, all they can do is LOOK DOWN up them (instead of hanging their heads in shame the act out and RUIN it for everyone... disgusting... black community organizers make white trash look like royalty in comparison).

Because when decent men, Dr. Ben Carson jumps to mind, who should be someone black youths look up to, he's called an Uncle Tom for not following the Democrat party line. Or Condi Rice, or Justice Thomas, and the list goes on. So young blacks are left with the race hustlers who tell them, not to get an education, get a job, or to live a good life, but to be victims, to blame somebody else and demand stuff. I don't blame the kids, but until the black community and black "leaders" do something, all I can do is be saddened by the lives wasted and lost.

By Patrick Goodenough
“The law should operate equally in respect of all violations. So, like every other situation such as this, we will be urging an investigation, and prosecution and trial – and of course reparation for the victims concerned.”
(CNSNews.com) – A Florida advocacy group spearheading protests over the racially-charged Trayvon Martin shooting has welcomed the intervention of the United Nations’ human rights chief, who has called for the shooter to be put on trial and “reparations for the victims concerned.”
“We believe that the United Nations involvement can help prevent another Trayvon Martin situation in other counties across the world,” J. Willie David, president of the Florida Civil Rights Association, said in a statement provided to CNSNews.com on Monday.
“The shooting death of Trayvon Martin and Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law have created a worldwide movement that calls into question how justice is delivered to victims of color,” he said.
“The Florida Civil Rights Association is calling on the police and prosecutors to end their questionable practices of operating in secrecy when it comes to African Americans.”
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay commented on the Martin shooting during a visit to Barbados on Thursday.
The unarmed 17-year-old was shot dead in Sanford, Florida, on February 26 by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who says he acted in self-defense after being attacked by the black teenager. Florida’s “stand-your-ground” law provides immunity from prosecution for “justifiable use of force” in cases where a person reasonably believes there to be a threat of imminent death or serious bodily harm.
The incident triggered a massive outcry, and prompted investigations by the Sanford Police Department, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement – at the behest of Gov. Rick Scott – as well as the Department of Justice. A special prosecutor appointed by Scott on March 22, Angela Corey, said on Monday her investigation was continuing, although she ruled out using a grand jury.
Although local, state and federal inquiries have been underway for weeks, Pillay called for “an immediate investigation” into the shooting.
“Justice must be done for the victim,” she told a media briefing in Hastings, on the southern end of the Caribbean island. “It’s not just this individual case, it calls into question the delivery of justice in all situations like this.”
“In this particular case it was the family itself, their distress that became known to the general public – once again people pressure that has drawn attention to this case. It shouldn’t be so,” Pillay continued. “The law should operate equally in respect of all violations. So, like every other situation such as this, we will be urging an investigation, and prosecution and trial – and of course reparation for the victims concerned.”
Pillay, a South African jurist, was appointed U.N. rights chief in 2008 and is based in Geneva, at the home of the U.N. Human Rights Council. She is a former judge at the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
