(Note: This article is a paraphrase of what Jackson said. I was not able to transcribe the segment she appeared on.)
Natalie Jackson, co-counsel to the family of slain teen Florida Trayvon Martin, said today that the almost all-white jury that acquitted the man who shot Martin was racist.
Jackson made the remarks to CFNews13, a cable news outlet of Central Florida cable TV provider Brighthouse Networks, on the special report 'George Zimmerman Trial: Beyond the Verdict'".
Jackson said that she initially voiced her approval for the jury of five white women and one mixed-race woman because she wanted Americans to see if the nation had made racial progress so that an almost all-white jury could convict George Zimmerman in the February 26, 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.
Jackson said the millions of people around the country outraged at the acquittal of Zimmerman proves the jury was racist. She said is going to use the outrage at the verdict to effect change.
Jackson is an independent Orlando lawyer who works with the Tallahassee firm of Park & Crump to represent the family of Trayvon Martin.
Parks & Crump lawyer Jasmine Rand, followed by firm co-founder Daryl Parks exposed themselves as leftist agitators engaged in "social engineering" in successive interviews with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. While both questioned the wisdom of the Zimmerman jury, they did not go as far as Jackson did in her criticism.
No video of the interview is online as of now. Also during the special, Jesse Jackson said the almost all-white jury acquitted Zimmerman because of "cultural bias", a dog-whistle for calling them racist.
F him
Hey Kristinn, not sure if this has made a splash yet but from new interview today:
Jeantel: “My grandmother is white so how could I be racist?”
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/yes-rachel-jeantel-did-think-it-was-racist-when-rush-limbaugh-said-ngga/ … (at end 3:00mark)
BTW-George Zimmerman’s grandfather is black
if I were on that JURY I would SUE HIM!!!! That is SLANDEROUS..PERIOD!!
And the OJ Jury was racist for not convicting OJ..someone call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance on these crybabies
FYI. I’ll keep looking to see if CFNews 13 puts the interview online.
Oh my, it seems that there are more attorneys than just those in Crump’s firm frustrated, angry and depressed to see the financial windfall of their dreams slip-sliding away.
It does my heart good to see it.
It’s hard to keep track of all the “racists” without a score card.
This is the current situation. If you’re NOT willing to act based on race — then you are a racist.
She’s a racist because she wanted Zimmerman convicted simply because Trayvon “Thug” Martin was Black.
So we’re even for OJ.But then the cases weren’t nearly identical.For one thing Nicole wasn’t seen straddling OJ beating the tar out of him.And she was essentially decapitated whereas NoLimitsNigga was shot...once..the *only* injury *he* sustained.
Wow.
Thanks kristinn.
Pretty much.
and they need to be told again Trayvon Martin was not on trial
Trayvon Martin was a teenager from Miami; George Zimmerman is an adult resident of Sanford. It was Zimmerman who was on trial.

Interestingly he didn’t call them creey A$$ white crackers, but I am sure he thought it, since only a truley uninformed person would say it out loud...
Bullcrap. She "voiced her approval" of that all-woman jury because she thought their emotions would get the better of them, and they would exact vengeance for the "murdered child."
Let this witch and all of like mind screech and scream.
It’s easy, if you are not a BlacKKK communist you are a racist.
Pray for America to Wake Up
