Name the murdered black guy

Bernard Goldberg:
...
 Hundreds of young black men are shot and killed in this country every year.  In almost all the cases, the shooter is also black. Try to name one of those dead black men.  Just one. 
Journalists who work for the national news networks, or major American newspapers with a national reach, don’t spend a lot of time shining a spotlight on dysfunctional behavior in parts of black America.  Stories about such things in black neighborhoods, imposed on black people by black people, would be tantamount to airing dirty laundry in front of the whole country.  And that is something liberal journalists who are proud of their good racial manners (along with their friends in the civil rights establishment) do not want to do. 
President Obama said we need some national “soul searching” in the wake of the tragic death of young Trayvon Martin.  Looking inward is a good thing. So let’s have that soul searching.  And while we’re at it, let’s ask ourselves why the death of a young black man in Florida means so much more to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and so many other concerned Americans than does the death of a baby in Detroit who was murdered in his sleep. 
Could it be because one shooter had light skin and the other dark?...
Less than two percent of murdered black young men were killed by someone described as white.  So why is there so much angst over the Trayvon Martin death?  It is because liberal race hustlers, many of whom are black chose to make it sound like blacks are under attack by whites while they ignore the carnage of black on black crime and what is happening to young black men who are actually safer in prison than they are on the streets of their own neighborhood.

It turns out the man who killed Martin is a registered Democrat Hispanic.  That kind of messes with the narrative the media and the race hustlers have been pushing.
