Trayvon Martin case, black homicide, propaganda and manipulation by the media.

Walter Williams is  a black economics Prof. at George Mason Univ. . He is one of my favorite columnists.  I don't always agree with him, but he provides perspective almost always lacking from the media and liberal black leaders.  As he points out, approximately 7,000 black Americans are murdered every year.  Roughly 94% of time, the offender is black.  One might think that would be viewed as a problem. What  made the Trayvon Martin shooting so newsworthy and caused such a media hysteria?  Neither was a celebrity or related to a celebrity.   It was not caught on video-tape.  It was not part of a rape or robbery or otherwise or especially heinous and brutal as alleged murders go.  The victim was not a child, handicapped or elderly person.  It did not take place in a state or area where homicides are extremely rare.  IMHO, it became a media obsession  because the suspect was a non-Black male with a concealed carry permit, and a gun who was arguably engaged in lawful self-defense.  We'll have to wait and see on the legality, but the case became a propaganda vehicle for those who are opposed to guns, concealed carry and self-defense.  Most of  the media, who share these values, jumped on the propaganda bandwagon. Unfortunately, too many liberal black leaders define everything negative that happens to a black person in terms of white victimizing blacks. The black population is reduced to helpless victims  As Williams shows, most blacks are victimized by other blacks.   It is shameful the way the media attempts to manipulate public opinion with such propaganda. Unfortunately, too many people swallow the ABC, CBS and New York Times spins hook, line and sinker.
