Guess the name of the community-spirited man who came to the defense of a black man when the NAACP wouldn’t

This is from the blog The Jawa Report, which got it from the Daily Caller, which has the complete story.

Guess Who?

In December 2010, the son of a local police officer sucker punched a homeless black man outside a bar. The white attacker strutted away from the downed man, obviously proud of his cowardly achievement. Police arrived at the scene and declined to arrest him, despite the fact the unprovoked attack was captured on video.

Over the course of the next several weeks, the community expressed outrage but few stepped up to do anything to demand justice for the homeless man, Sherman Ware. The black community was indifferent. The NAACP ignored the incident. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were nowhere to be found.

But one man was so determined to obtain justice for Sherman, he did what few others were willing to do. He stepped up and went door-to-door in black communities handing out fliers about the incident. He posted the fliers, put them on cars in parking lots, waited outside churches to give them to parishioners. He worked tirelessly exposing this injustice.

In January, his efforts finally paid off. In part, thanks to public pressure after the video was posted on Youtube, Justin Collison, a man with a violent history, was charged with sucker punching Sherman Ware.

In case you haven’t guessed, the man who worked so hard to bring justice for a homeless black man when the NAACP and other civil rights leaders looked the other way is named below the fold.

The man was George Zimmerman.

These noble efforts by Zimmerman to help a stranger get deserved justice were related by a family member who is now in hiding due to death threats. The family member sent this letter to the Sanford Chapter of the NAACP, which has continued to perpetuate the smear that George Zimmerman is a racist who killed Trayvon Martin for being black.

Don’t expect to hear this story in the mainstream media.

If the mainstream liberal media ignore the story, it will be because Zimmerman, regardless of the fact that he is Hispanic and has a history of standing up for black people, fits the pre-ordained role of the racist white man in what I have called the tripartite structure of liberalism. The liberal order requires three groups in order to function: the mainly white liberal elite, who demonstrate liberalism by preaching compassion and tolerance for the nonwhite Other; the nonwhite Other, upon whom the white liberals practice the liberal virtue of compassion; and the non-liberal whites, whose bigotry against the nonwhite Other serves as a foil against which the white liberals demonstrate their morality and their right to rule. The non-liberal whites must be continually demonized and crushed, as the evil force that forever threatens the existence of the liberal order and its goodness.

Thus the liberal elite, in order to maintain and increase their power, are happy to transform a community-minded Hispanic man who helps mistreated blacks into a bigoted white man, and to destroy him as such. Liberalism, as we said recently, is a cult of human sacrifice.
