Person of the Minute?

Brown and Garner will be remembered for a very long time, even in history books. Zemir Begic, not so much. Zemir Begic is not in the protected class. So when he was hammered to death by a gang of blacks - who are protected - his death had little meaning... to the Left. Nope, no racial content; no hate crime. Only whites can commit hate crimes.

"...rather than a "Person of Year", who might we select for "Person of Just One Minute"? The nominees would be people who were cheated of their fifteen minutes and got a lot less national attention than they deserved. An obvious example would be Zemir Begic, who was killed in a hammer attack in St Louis following the Ferguson riots. Was this a hate crime refocusing our national conversation on race? Are you kidding? The NY Times carried one AP article that was race free. Nothing to see here."

Yes. There absolutely should be a National Zemir Begic Minute. But there won't be, because he was forgotten by the Leftist press as soon as he was dead.
