UPDATE: We have confirmed that the victim is white. A CofCC.org reader received an e-mail reply from the Orlando Sentinel admitting that the race of the victim was censored on purpose, and that it is the policy of the newspaper to censor race. Also, shortly after CofCC.org wrote about this crime, the Orlando Sentinel removed the perpetrators’ mug shots from their online article. The Orlando Sentinel censored the race of the perpetrators in a previous article, even though they were still at large when it was published.

A fifty year old white old man is on life support after a near fatal beating. Police have arrested two black teens. The attack occurred near the community where the Trayvon Martin self-defense shooting took place.



The two suspects face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary. They are accused of beating the man in the head with a hammer. The suspects are 18 and 19.

The attack took place in Midway, FL, about six miles from where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense

Think this story will receive 1/1,000th of 1% of the news coverage that Trayvon Martin received?

Even though the police put the race of the victim in the incident report, the media censored this information. A reporter for the Orlando Sentinel confirmed that the race of the victim was omitted on purpose. The Orlando Sentinel also appears to have removed the suspects’ mug shots shortly after CofCC.org wrote about the attack.

Previously the Orlando Sentinel had published a request for the public to help catch the perpetrators. The description is based on of two eye witnesses. What MAJOR feature is missing from the description published by the newspaper?

From Orlando Sentinel…

Both of the attackers are about 20 years old. One is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and was wearing blue denim shorts. He was not wearing a shirt. The second man was 5 feet, 10 inches tall.

In Florida, New Black Panthers rip Obama, Holder over Martin shooting
SANFORD, Fla. — Rallying in front of the Sanford Police Department headquarters, members of the New Black Panther Party ripped President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for not responding forcefully enough to the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

Mikhail Muhammad, the southern regional minister for the New Black Panther Party, told The Daily Caller that he thinks that the DOJ’s decision to get involved in this case came “a little too late.”



President Barack Obama spoke to the press about slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Friday morning, saying, “When I think about that boy, I think about my own kids…. If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon. I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness this deserves and get to the bottom of what happened.”

Hoodies on the Hill: Congressional Staffers Rally for Trayvon Martin

About 250 to 300 aides rallied this afternoon in support of “Hoodies on the Hill.” Participants were encouraged to wear hooded sweatshirts in the 80 degree heat and to bring bags Skittles candy and iced tea, two items Martin was carrying when he was killed by a 28-year-old man as he walked back to his father’s girlfriend’s house.
“We have a mandate to ensure that young boys like Trayvon live their lives and that they’re successful and that they have the opportunity we have today,” said Brandon Andrews, a congressional staffer who said he was representing African American men on the Hill.

“I don’t have my hoodie, but I do have my skittles,” Black said, dressed characteristically in a white shirt and bowtie. “This is a great tragedy and I guess one of the positive aspects of this is it has awakened in so many, across all racial lines and awareness, that we need to do more to ’cause justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.’”

“The death of Trayvron diminishes us,” he continued. “We need healing in our land today. So if we would seek humility, if we would harness prayer power, if we would turn from evil, God has promised, ‘I will hear from Heaven, forgive your sins and heal your land.’ I think that that is the least we can do.”

The organizer of the rally, Ify Ike, said she posted ‘Hoodies on the Hill’ as her Gchat status Thursday and had strong encouragement from friends to make her vision happen.




SANFORD, Fla. — Leading up to Thursday evening’s Al Sharpton-emceed rally to honor 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and demand justice after his killing, scores of protesters donned Trayvon merchandise.

T-shirts prominently featuring photos of Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, and pictures of Martin were for sale throughout Sanford, Fla.

One man sold shirts that read “Arrest Zimmerman” in bold red font with a photo of the shooter on the front and “I am Trayvon” on the back. A young woman and her friend sold blue and off-white shirts that read “enough is enough.”

Nation of Islam representatives were on scene in Sanford, too, peddling merchandise and trying to enlist new recruits. James Muhammad, the assistant regional minister of the Nation of Islam’s seventh region, told TheDC that he and others from his organization were on scene because of “injustice.” “The reason is our love for our people and our intolerance for having our children shot down outside of the law of justice,” Muhammad said.

Those with Muhammad at the event were selling copies of the Nation of Islam’s official publication — The Final Call — which Louis Farrakhan publishes. Farrakhan, a radical and divisive figure, has predicted “retaliation” will be coming “soon and very soon.”

Muhammad said there’s an underlying hatred of black people in this country. “It’s deeper than the chief of police, it’s deeper than the mayor,” Muhammad said. “It’s deeper than the government. It’s deeper than the president. The reality of it is there is an underlying atmosphere of racism in this country, where the administration of justice is inconsistent and the enforcement of law is inconsistent based on your ethnicity, based on your race.”

Others sold t-shirts emblazoned with puns about how Martin was not armed when he was shot. Rally-goers could buy Trayvon buttons and pins, too, while other attendees passed out signs to the crowd.

Local residents also capitalized on the opportunity to make a quick buck, selling snacks and drinks to the four or five thousand people on site.

"I just want to apologize to Channon and Chris’s parent’s I didn’t or don’t mean to rehash your pain anymore then needed but it’s a legit statement. Where was congress or the politicians making laws in support of you. RIP Channon and Chris." shera~

Texas Cheerleader Who Refused To Cheer For Her Rapist Loses Case

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court denied review of the case of the Texas cheerleader who was suspended from her team for refusing to cheer for her rapist without comment. This means that a lower court ruling, which said that a cheerleader acts as a mouthpiece for the school and can thus be dismissed for refusing to speak, will stand. It also means that the cheerleader’s family now owes the district $45,000 for the costs of “defending a frivolous suit,” as ordered by the New Orleans appeals court.

This story illustrates an appalling violation of a student’s right to speak out against an insensitive and traumatic order from school officials. The girl, who is known just as “H.S.,” says that she was 16 when she was raped at a party by Rakheem Bolton, a star of her high school football team. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and received a suspended sentence. The following winter, Bolton was playing in a basketball game when he went up to the foul line to shoot a free throw.

H.S.’s lawyer says that the girls were instructed to chant, “2, 4, 6, 8, 10, come on, Rakheem, put it in.” H.S., who had cheered for the rest of the game, folded her arms and remained silent.

This is an understandable protest against the fact that Bolton was allowed to return to school, and H.S. had every right to refuse to cheer for a man who had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her. School officials, however, told her that she had to cheer for Bolton or be dismissed from the team. She continued to refuse, was dismissed, and sued school officials and the district, saying that they had punished her for exercising her right of free expression.

An appeals court ruled that because cheerleaders were a “mouthpiece” for the school, and that H.S.’s protest was a “disruption to the educational process.” But I have to wonder what would have happened if H.S. had claimed that cheering for a player was against her religion. And what on earth is a “disruption,” if not an action by school officials that threatens the health and well-being of a student?

The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the case is a devastating rejection of students’ rights to speak out against school officials, and a disturbing affirmation of a culture that punishes rape victims instead of perpetrators.
