Something that's Obama's fault probably.

Regardless of what race they actually are, Obama sure looks black to me and Zimmerman definitely looks more white than black.

Media gets away with lies and people openly accept it even bullshit.

So basically you want to rant.

So explain how George was painted as white?

Honestly don't recall ever thinking he was "white" but a Latino and I remember the very first days the media labeled him as "white", but that was likely due to media outlets trying to get a jump on the story and going with "Zimmerman = White". IIRC, he did look more Caucasian in the mug shots than he does as his fat tan court self.

So if your point is "the media isn't always correct". I wholeheartedly agree, just look at one of the largest purveyors of misinformation, Fox News.

Exactly they ran with white racist, people heard it and that was the end of it. MSNBC and CNN and ABC have their fair share of mis info as well as never showing both parts of a story.

I don't recall the media saying "White Racist"(can you show proof?), do recall the media commenting on his 9/11 call and how it could be construed as a bigoted or racist comments towards black people.

But Zimmerman is a racist piece of shit who profiled a kid, stalked him and it ended up with that kid's death as we later learned.

i've never considered that dude white. nor does anyone else i've discussed it with. I don't ever remember the controversy being about what he is more so than what he did.

the Kid was a proven Thief (The Reason he was out late; he was suspended for having stolen property and burglars tools in his Locker).

He shouldn't have been sneaking around on people's lawns in the rain to begin with. Also lol Trayvon was completely covered up, in the dark, in the Rain... Zimmerman didn't know he was Black.

That's an ad hominem attack and victim blaming. Doesn't matter what Martin did in the past. He was walking home with skittles. He had no right to die.

Proof? Cos he had candy on him at the time of his death.

Yeah, we all get it socker, you have a low opinion of Black people too.

That if he had school in the morning he wouldn't have been outside at 2am?

Typical deflection, nothing I said was even remotely racist but because you don't like it you start flaming. Grow a brain and then a spine and then make a rebuttal.

So you don't actually have proof. Got it.

Typical cowardly racist getting made at being called a racist.

To be honest I thought Zimmerman was hispanic.
