George, Michael, Trayvon (and Emmett, too)
It’s all just been one long contrivance by the media over the past 70 years to deceive.

We know how George Floyd, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin earned a place in the pantheon of oppressed black victims. We know because their myths developed in real-time for all to see.
The myth has Trayvon Martin being chased and killed by George Zimmerman. The reality has Zimmerman calling police after noticing Martin casing out apartments, followed by Martin savagely beating Zimmerman, cracking his head on the pavement repeatedly, before a single shot from Zimmerman’s gun cuts short his life.
The myth has Michael Brown raising his hands saying “don’t shoot” before being gunned down by Officer Darren Wilson. The reality has Brown strong-arm a convenience store merchant, obstruct street traffic, refuse to follow Wilson’s orders, try to grab Wilson’s gun, and charge at Wilson before shots from Wilson’s gun ended his life.
The myth has George Floyd’s air passage being obstructed by Officer Derek Chauvin’s knee pressing on the back of Floyd’s neck, causing his death. The reality has Floyd passing a counterfeit bill, being taken into custody, having a fit, and being restrained on the ground. Meanwhile, the lethal dose of drugs that he had previously ingested went to work and stopped his heart, ending his life.
Granted, it is sad that such human potential was lost, but it is difficult to make a case that white oppression caused their deaths. This got me thinking about other black martyrs that the media has hoisted upon us. Right up there with George, Michael, and Trayvon is Emmett Till. In fact, Emmett Till was the archetype that got the ball rolling for the media. The story that the media peddles is that Emmett Till whistled at a white woman and paid for his offense by being lynched by the Klan.
