What George Zimmerman said on his 911 tape could be evidence of a hate crime. Democratic Congresswoman of Florida, Corinne Brown and Jasmine Rand, one of Trayvon Martin family's attorneys weigh in on The Last Word.

As soon as I heard it, I realized that it was doctored. The rest of the call you can tell is on a cell phone but those 2 words sound like that were recorded elsewhere.
The media is really stirring the pot.
For Gantt (Trayvon’s former teacher), Trayvon’s death has become a teachable moment, telling her students: “You have to know what your rights are. You can wear a hoodie and walk into a gated community … you have the right to do that and not be profiled.”

During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on AC360, Taaffe said that a problem could have been avoided if Martin had been “up front and truthful” with Zimmerman.
Taaffe told NBC Miami that there had been eight burglaries within 15 months, which he said set the stage for Zimmerman’s heightened suspicion. He said safety, not race, was Zimmerman’s main concern.
“George is a congenial, admirable person,” he told the news outlet. “He had a passion and care for this neighborhood, to ensure the safety of everybody here.”

I don't know what Jasmine Rand's office listened to, but you can download the police copy of the audio here. You can hear the slur at 2:21.
I just went to the sites mentioned above and these are NOT what I heard being replayed on CNN ealier today.
Somebody has definitely been monkeying around with the audio.
Expect this to get alot hotter because I doubt the media has an interest in dousing the flames this little inceniary will cause. It plays too much in Obama’s favor as it will serve to detract the media focusing on the faults of our dear president...
A race war will get huge ratings.
There have been allegations that the audios posted on YouTube have been doctored.
But go here for the original. Anyone who disputes its authenticity probably drools is either a genius or a moron.
Space out to about 2:21, and listen to what Zimmerman seems to mutter under his breath.
I like your post budwiesest, excellent! The 911, 811, 711 are outstanding, great post.
"8-year-old 4'2" African-American 50-lb child in transit between Bible study class, cello lesson, and AP Calculus Tutoring Session viciously attacked by slobbering armed white man outside sick grandmother's house. The future Nobel Laureate and the Clear Successor to Pablo Casals, brutally murdered. It's a senseless act of violent racism. Al Sharpton to lead justified nation-wide riots. Zimmerman to be held at Guantanamo without trial for violating prodigy's civil rights, prior to being shot at dawn. "
Eye Witnesses' (several) Version
"Zimmerman (smaller Hispanic Guy) jumped by black 6'2", 200-lb+ footballer in hoodie while returning to his truck, beaten to the ground, punched out, screams for help, shoots attacker."
Cops' Version
See above.
Zimmerman's Version
See above.
WTF Really Happened?
How the hell would I know? No charges have been filed. What time's the riot?
911, 811, 711, 611 (for Asians) is a way to begin assigning the cost. But it's only a beginning. We have miles to go before those who count themselves as Americans will truly feel American. Fairness is both American and essential.
As a white person I will gladly accept the burdens white people place on society. The same should apply for other races. When they get too high, nobody can criticize the methods employed to bring them down since it won't affect other groups.
