well tbf the book he's referencing is still has Jones the author. but it's p funny that he missed the chance to drop "AMIRI BARAKA" in the context of shaming do-gooder liberals acting like they know about black people

The guy only has one target - white do-gooder liberals. Every day he reads the headlines and works out how to shape one of them into a hammer with which to bang the same old nail.

Good. Maybe they'll issue a warrant and Zimmerman will be, uh, "shot while escaping" from a US Marshall.

They also said they do not know where Zimmerman is.“You can stop looking in Florida,” Uhrig told reporters. “Look much further away than that.”

and it's not like he jumped bail, thx to the Sanford PD
ok let's catch the subtlety here
Yet the wildly popular post-Trayvon hoodie trend also has the ugly whiff of “slumming it”, even of “blacking up”, where decent white folk parade around in public in the get-up of a class of people they have little connection with or knowledge of.
The black social critic LeRoi Jones once described blacking up...
hmm
