Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) released a statement on Monday calling the shooting death of Trayvon Martin a “hate crime” and urging the Department of Justice to investigate.

Mr. Zimmerman, contrary to media reports, is NOT WHITE, but Hispanic.
Of course, Cleaver has already determined Zimmerman's motives, so why even bother with fact finding and a trial? Cleaver apparently has solved this case already.
Miami media is hyping the story, too...part of the "re-elect Obama 'cause America is still racist" theme.
Zimmerman=Hispanic??????
Obama Reelection narrative feeding into and pumping up even more white guilt as is 2008 it wasn’t rampant enough and pimped endlessly by the drivebys...it’s all agenda.
Yes, believe it or not. :).
Cleaver, and really all of the Congressional Black Caucus, is exactly why we need some kind of qualification to vote beyond warm and breathing. Of course if you’re voting Democrat in many cases warm and breathing isn’t required.
Sorry, but this case looks really bad. I don’t care if Zimmerman is white or hispanic, there is some lead-foot dragging on this case in terms of finding out the facts and prosecuting what looks like an obvious case of a trigger-happy community watch captain. If the Sanford police won’t do more than they have, then I think the feds should get involved.
The police investigated the incedent and interviewed Zimmerman. They saw the blood on him and the evidence that he was in a struggle. What else do you want them to do?
In the wake of spreading public outrage, the Justice Department and the FBI have opened an investigation into the shooting of a black teenager by a Florida neighborhood watch captain who escaped arrest.
obama=Christian??????
There is more chance that Zimmerman is Hispanic than obummer is Christian.
When and where was he Baptized?
Do you know of any Christian that doesn't talk about his coming to Christ in more than a political sense.
When and where did little barry renounce allah and accept Jesus Christ? Any record of that major change in his miserable life?
obama's father, grandfather and step father were mooselimbs and he was raised as a mooselimb.
When did the great Christian conversion occur?
If the CBC asked Holder to investigate, you can bet the farm there will be an investigation and more than likely some Federal charges.
Justice? No. There is very little justice left in the US these days.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
How about use their brains? Zimmerman followed this kid with no cause to do so. He then confronts the kid, and an altercation ensues. The kid can be heard on the 911 tapes screaming for help before Zimmerman shoots him. The kid was armed with a bag of Skittles. What more do you want?
Bill Richardson=Hispanic??????
So is FR Hero and CBC member Alan West on board with this openly arrogant racism and double standard?
17. On Suspension from school, living with Father's girlfriend. Decided to WALK to a 7-11 in the rain during a basketball game...
Nothing suspicious there. Doesn't everyone get up in the middle of watching a sporting event and just decide to go for a walk in the rain?
On the tapes, at least a couple of people are yelling/screaming. Hard to tell which is which. Facts in evidence show Zimmerman got the bad end of an ass whoopin' somehow...
I have been watching south Florida media....I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MENTION of Mr. Zimmerman’s apparent injuries. I DO notice, though, that they mention the young man was carrying tea and skittles.
Also, why does every photo of this 17 year old make him look like he was 12?
Maybe Zimmerman is an idjit vigilante. But the media and Al Sharpton sure as hell are not the ones to figure that out. They’re following a race based agenda ONLY. And it is growing old.
You said the kid was screaming on the tape, I say someone was screaming but it could have been either one. Do you know who started the altercation, no you do not, you are assuming it was Zimmerman; it could have been the kid. I would like to have the police and DA follow the law. You sound like a person who would be ok with a mob lynching or would you rather follow the law and not jump to conclusions.
I work in a school District. At the High School, there are a couple of 17 year olds that are my size and bigger. One kid is almost 7'.
Zimmerman was the one who started the Neighborhood Watch for his community. That's why he was the only one doing it... On another thread it was linked that he did so with the full knowledge of the HOA and that he volunteered.
Not quite the picture being painted by the MSM and the Baiters...
I'd like to know how Zimmerman ended up with a bloody gash on the back of his head and a bloody nose.
Answer that one and then we can move on to other matters.
