Although there must be some agenda, I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Dems would want to incite an African American/Peruvian American conflict. Seems to me that the Latino vote would be of great importance in the upcoming election, as the African American vote is already theirs. Will be interesting if the South American and Mexican (Hispanic/Latino) leaders weigh in on this if they haven’t already. Why is Zimmerman being portrayed as a “Cracker”? I have to be missing something somewhere. Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmm

When the race-baiters started on this thing, they probably looked at the last name “Zimmerman” and decided that its owner was a non-Hispanic white, probably of German or Jewish descent.

Like many other people in Florida, Zimmerman in fact is from a family that has both Hispanic and non-Hispanic members. Calling him a “cracker,” however, is going a little far...but that’s what they want to see in this.

Finally, blacks and Hispanics have little in common. Outside of certain inner city gang areas, Hispanics are just like any immigrant group, learning the language, acclimatizing and getting ahead, and they also tend to value family and church. Lower class black culture, on the other hand, creates people who aren’t going anywhere, and there’s a lot of hostility towards Hispanics on the part of blacks, who feel that they “deserve” to be given what Hispanics are actually working for.

So I think the race baiting contingent really doesn’t care what Zimmerman’s background is, just simply that he’s not black. Because if he had been black and shot this kid, it would simply have been just another day in the neighborhood and they wouldn’t have cared.

Probably didn't know he was a Latino or whatever before they planned the whole thing out.

They just heard the name, and that he was white, then they started planning around it. When they found out, it was too late to stop, everything was in the works.

Actually, if Zimmerman's lawyer was smart he would get the guy's mom out there speaking in a heavily accented voice claiming her son was being unfairly attacked because he's hispanic. This whole thing wouold drop like a hot potato.

"I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Dems would want to incite an African American/Peruvian American conflict."

CNN, in all its PC wisdom solved this conflict by caling Zimmerman a "white hispanic". This goes along with their inventive wording that allowed them do describe a black from Belgium as an "African-American Belgian".
