The American Scholar & Last Scream for Justice



(M)an: Dude! The United States Media is covering the Trayvon Martin murder trial with a brutal bigotry that Mitt Romney’s presidential bid and the 2012 Republican National Convention escalated in attempts to win over the Faux News Channel agglomerate of voters.

(D)ude: Man! I believe the defense attorney and the judge are on the same page. I would have addressed Zimmerman’s lawyer, Don West’s despicable opening as inappropriate and inexcusable if I were Judge Debra Nelson.  

M: Dude! Judge Debra Nelson is not permitting any scientific investigative insights into whose screams were heard in the background moments before armed Zimmerman shot the unarmed 17-year-old African American teenager.

D: Man! Didn’t Mark Twain say something about it not mattering who you were, but what you are?

M: Dude! Yeah! Pudd’nhead Wilson is named such by bystanders when he remarks he would like to kill half a barking dog, those tuning in continuing a discussion of his character and finding David Wilson lacking in rationality after all.

D: Man! There is something to be said about that book, however, about the distinction between what one is and who one is, no? I mean, look at that David Wilson: A lawyer and a fingerprints expert who is looked upon wearily until the end when his expertise proves that the twins in question at trail were switched at birth.

M: Dude! They were switched at birth, both being the sons of a slaveholder who is looked upon as a compassionate, but clearly has impregnated a wife and a slave in all certainty. But in the end he is a slaveholder and sells off his own son by his actual wife across the Mississippi River while his slave’s son is educated at Yale and given the rights and privileges that the slave descendant would not have attained otherwise.  

D: Man! It is a shame that the Supreme Court left open the case regarding affirmative action. I’m afraid to see the lesser courts reassess that particular case regarding the University of Texas. In all honesty, it’s like the Roberts Court decided to place blinders where they would otherwise have had to confront a civil rights issue that is hanging from a rope with these statewide gerrymandered redistricting practices of the GOP.

M: Dude! The finality with which the people in Dawson’s Landing decide to subject the slave descendant retroactively into the system of slavery due to the slave mother’s switching of the two male babies in infancy, therefore the slave descendant having gotten away with the crime of not having served in that dehumanizing institution of slavery as he would have had his mother not switched the two half-brothers.

D: Man! Trayvon Martin was unarmed and Zimmerman was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher and a gun in his hand with which he shot and killed the screaming teenager! Those screams on the tape that Judge Debra Nelson has chosen not to allow in the trial regarding experts investigating and deciding who is screaming that horrific sound of absolute finality and terror and fatality! 

M: Dude! It is an abomination! The American Press’s insistence that the prosecutor’s repeating of George Zimmerman’s exact words on the phone with the 911 dispatcher as being obscene and unrepeatable just tells you how NOT far removed we as a nation are still from the days of Dawson’s Landing and the ways of categorizing and dismissing a human being, in this current court case an unarmed African American teenager.

D: Man! Didn’t George Zimmerman’s defense team have him wear glasses as well as a suit and tie when he was finally arrested and brought before a court approximately 44 days after Trayvon’s death? And isn’t George Zimmerman’s obscenities over the phone indicative of multiple prejudiced perspectives?  

M: Dude! Zimmerman clearly expressed hatred and annoyance towards Trayvon Martin over the phone with the emergency dispatcher. Clearly Zimmerman had resorted to the crudity of generalizing all African American troublemaking teens into one composite “punk” that he identified Trayvon as being, hence even more reason for himself to take matters into his own armed hands against the unarmed teen despite the 911 dispatcher insisting that Zimmerman not pursue Trayvon Martin and wait for authorities to arrive.

D: Man! Florida’s 2005 Stand Your Ground gun law needs to be abolished, don’t you think? George Zimmerman clearly took matters into his armed hands against the unarmed and screaming teenager because of that 2005 law’s permitting people fearing for their lives to use deadly force even if avoiding confrontation is possible. And, anyways, how ridiculous is it for George Zimmerman to insist that the screams are his! Zimmerman was holding the firearm that killed the unarmed Trayvon Martin! Zimmerman pursued to killing Trayvon Martin even after the fact that the emergency dispatcher recommended Zimmerman to NOT take action and wait for the authorities!

M: Dude! Don’t our sons and daughters in struggling neighborhoods have any right to move about freely unarmed? I see a lot of trouble arising from this murder trial. There are 30 other states that have adopted the Stand Your Ground Law since 2005.

D: Man! Remember at the campus of Texas Occidental Franchise University when the sororities and fraternities came up with the party idea of dressing up in black face?

M: Dude! It is places like TOFU that Supreme Court Justices like Scalia and Thomas et al need to study by dispatching their clerks and clerics to such campuses to gather qualitative data about the true state of affairs on college campuses in the Southern United States. White people are living in a delusional self-built wonderland in the suburbs and rural townships. People like George Zimmerman cannot even contain their racial disdain and prejudice even for an instant, reacting savagely and brutally to an African American outsider visiting family and friends in their gated communities.

D: Man! That gated community mentality has gripped the Congressional Republicans these days with their insistence to increase border security with extra fencing and patrolling, despite studies indicating that there is absolutely no such need for all that at this time. In fact, the border’s never been more secure in history as it is right now.

M: Dude! Trayvon Martin screamed to death, but the issue of whether or not his scream was even his just shows how pathetically backwards we are to even grant Zimmerman the possibility of owning an African American teenager’s evidential alarm and subsequent fatality!

D: Man! An absolute nightmare for subsequent generations of African Americans to follow! No 
wonder the slave descendant’s mother could only find spiritual refuge in her church in the final chapter of that Mark Twain classic we’ve been discussing! Give it to God? I don’t think so! That’s like dismissing the history of entire people deserving justice, the jumpstart towards a stable and honorable existence!
