What really pisses me off re the RW spin re black men in America and Trayvon Martin

35. Right!

Because if there's anything the Bush-voting, Palin-supporting, Limbaugh-listening, Fox News-watching wing nuts value it's education, academic achievement, and knowledge!

It's good to know that I'm not the only one that's noticed the blatant double standard when it comes this topic. Most Zimmerman supporting RWers can barely hide their contempt for education and the professionals that try to provide it. They constantly refer to public school teachers as "greedy union thugs". They look down on most white people who worked hard to obtain an education, however, these same people are quick to judge minorities on their educational achievements. Could you imagine if Barack Obama attended multiple colleges in a half dozen years in order to obtain a bachelor's degree?

It's like in the 90's, and early 2000's when several black Basketball players decided to forgo college and jump to the NBA after their senior year of high school. Remember how many people were up in arms over Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James becoming instant millionaires straight out of high school? Remember how these same people ignored, and continue to ignore the fact that the vast majority of pro hockey and baseball players also don't have college degrees? Remember how they also ignored the fact that during that decade Martina Hingis, Anna Kournikova, and Jennifer Capriati were competing in major tennis tournaments in their training bras? (Also overlooking the fact that Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi NEVER even graduated high school?!)

I mean goddamn, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, and Steve Stockman are a collection of fucking idiots, Kristi Noem got elected to the house with only a high school diploma, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity dropped out of school, Dana Perino didn't know (until recently) about the Bay of Pigs, or the Cuban Missile Crisis, Harriet Myers and Monica Goodling are the products of religious diploma mills! Not to mention all the other willfully ignorant and terminally stupid people that compose this nation's modern conservative movement. And none of it matters to the average RW joe sixpack! The same people who will give those I mentioned in this paragraph a pass for poor achievement are the same racist morons who will put the academic achievements (or lack thereof) of minorities under a microscope.
