spring wife's
you know it would remind me up in some ways I
I read this piece a couple months ago and I
things in the New York review books and he was about Pakistan
and the guy was trying to draw a parallel between this kind of growth
like survival is paranoia in america like clint back Alex Jones all stuff and
you know
come to get a small stuff and then the fact that
wall that's you know
paranoid delusion in many respects what we are actually doing
in Pakistan is we literally do have flying killer robots
monarch during the sky's the Pakistan naked and kill people mom
moment's notice things like is there some way that like there's a
psychological
projection inward what's happening outward
I think what's so interesting is like the the
violence that has been projected onto african-americans and other group
obviously not just african-americans asian-americans
Latino Americans and then the
the frog racial fear you see
in people by kit fox news in all the places I mean of course um that's just
cynicism in races in all this car but it there's also this genuine
Tara and I think that
has to be connected with some with with
this with this projection base 00 it's definitely I mean and I
that you know it's stunning the level lack of self-awareness
white boy I mean we're we just listened to be yeah both cliff and sorry to i'm
rights of this is all connect absolute I mean this tree by Marty cases not in a
in a in a in a bubble no I mean there's things
that happened in our in our in our system
now political system that led to what happen happening
whether it be why george Zimmerman followed
Trayvon Martin whether it be wide
george Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin whether it be
how the media covered this case whether it be
how people are cheering george Zimmerman getting away with it
its its and the list goes on I mean images from this one case that got this
tension
because once again you could bring it back even further to george Zimmerman
was not going to be charged with anything he was left home at night he
said alright
that we said all right you're free to go nada nothing nothing to see anything in
the toxicology report I just want to say once again this is the point this is why
like this case matters not because you know
look again fundamentally I think that there's more to do I think the justice
department should look at look into this case but as a legal matter and is a
legal process
I my feelings other I think the defense was absolutely ludicrous
I think a manslaughter charge was obvious connection on this case
but the real reason that we talk about it and we point to this is because this
is all lands
for everything else we've been talking about which is the massive disproportion
faxer violence in American society
racial profiling policies guns Alec state legislature policies
so this is if
if you take the proper lens through which I think we've hopefully done in
this last hour
this is a profoundly important thing to look at because a lot of things are at
stake
