Media coverage of the George Zimmerman shooting of Trayvon Martin has been skewed for months by wild charges of racism against George. NBC News infamously edited tape of Zimmerman to make it appear that he thought Martin was suspicious thanks to his race; CNN reported that Zimmerman had used a racial slur during his 911 call. That thematic stretched all the way to the White House, with President Obama suggesting that Zimmerman was acting out of racism, since as Obama put it, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The truth is far different. Not only was Zimmerman not a racist – he had a black business partner, has Afro-Peruvian roots, and helped out underprivileged black kids in his neighborhood – he also was a supporter of the very president who would later slander him by innuendo. As Robert, George’s brother, told me, George is “a registered Democrat. He registered as a Hispanic. He kind of did some internal family campaigning for Obama.” George supported Obama, Robert explained, because “He was like many young people who thought that the president’s club had been a club of white men since our founding, and that there really wasn’t a good reason for that, except that the right man for the job who happened to be black had not come along, and that electing a man who happened to be biracial or multiracial like we were, would reflect not just a situation that we found ourselves in ethnically in our family, but the reality of where America had come, which is that we are melting pot of cultures and we are a diverse society. “Ironically,” Robert added, “the man who he campaigned for within his family was the same man seemingly indicting him in way from the Rose Garden years later.”

After reading this thread, THIS old white guy would be reluctant to support you.
I haven’t villified anyone. I hope justice prevails (I hope he gets off). But I do enjoy watching him squirm.
“THIS old white guy would be reluctant to support you.”
Why? Because I asked if you feel sorry for him?
Though I sympathize with Zimmerman’s current situation, I can only do a little Snoopy dance every time a Lib gets bit in the a$$ by their own bigotry and hate.
We obviously can't count on you.
Thank you! That’s my point!
It's no consolation whatsoever, but this episode has given George Zimmerman a first-hand look at the unbelievably vast and uncompromising network of fascists preaching diversity uber alles.
Seriously, take a step outside of yourself and read your own words. You ask if people still feel sorry for Zimmerman. Then you ask the question of whether he would support you as a white man. And, to top it off, after complaining about being accused of vilifying him, you make the statement that you are enjoying his pain. I find this to be a pathetic and underhanded attempt to vilify a man who was defending his own life.
“We obviously can’t count on you.”
You obviously misunderstand me.
The Revolution always eats its own.
I’m just enjoying watching him reap what he sows.
:: like many young people who thought that the president’s club had been a club of white men since our founding, and that there really wasn’t a good reason for that ::
I have A DREAM!, that one day..a man will be judged by the content of his character and NOT by the color of his skin.
I have A DREAM!
If this is true, then George is a committed and vile racist.
If Zimmerman supported Obama again in 2012, that boy is way too stupid to be running loose.
Zimmerman may be an idiot, but one very important fact remains, he is an innocent man being subjected to a public and political lynching.
Yes I do! I don't care what race, sex, sexual orientation or political affiliation you subscribe to, if you're being unjustly persecuted for a crime you didn't commit, I support you 100%!
And further more, I find your question offensive and contradictory to everything this site is supposed to represent........
I guess I'm "White Erse". Very, very, very white.
So, I guess I'm "White/White".
I'm told that I glow in darkness like a lightning bug! One generation away from red hair and freckles.
Its all good. That "White Hispanic" was so ridiculous.
I'd feel sorry for anyone who is being put through this wringer after exercising his fully legal right to defend himself. Hopefully it's not lost on George that the NBPP crowd offered money for his scalp, while a white guy is working to save his butt.
None of this comes as a surprise, IMO.
Effing retard.
Now I’m not interested in his pleas.
Funny, i was listening to his attorney begging for money and how Geoerge is near desperate and destitute with only $200 left in his legal defense fund.
Well, I’ll admit he’s pretty resourceful and creative.
“Ave Good Day...”
I would support you "old white guy"....!
