Or grandfather? Since Judaism is ''purely'' matrilenial(at least in Israel). Seems like a moment for ''white'' american jews to start standing up to the virulent replacment theologies of Jerimiah Wrights. What difference does it make if Zimmermans father was Jewish?

And I'm sorry we have black president now. Don't tell me that society is permeated with racism. What you have here is an idiot cop "wanna be" who got carried away and killed what by all accounts seems an innocent kid. If he had been arrested and the wheels starting to turn this wouldn't be the story it is. The suburbs of Orlando in 2012 is not Alabama 1956. And I’m sorry we have black president now.

Obama is half-white. So how do we know he is black? Simple; he self-identifies himself as black on the census. . Zimmerman(who got his name from his father but his looks from his mother) has self-identified as a hispanic on the 2002 local census in florida. . He is also a registered democrat. . Why does this all matter? Because the liberal media in the states have been dying for the already-baked scenario of a white, cranky racist and an innocent, angelic black kid. . Meanwhile, the shooter is a self-identified hispanic whos father call him part of a 'Spanish-speaking minority', and a Democrat not one of those gun-loving Republicans. . And Travyon Martin may not have deserved being shot, but he was suspended from school many times, caught with drugs, caught defacing lockers, caught with stolen jewellery, accused of assaulting a bus driver and many other things. . The reason he wasn't at school the day he was shot was because he was suspended from school because of his violent, thuggish behaviour(yet again). . The liberal media had already decided on the narrative they had wanted. The result is that the facts have backfired on a huge scale. . And, Goldberg makes a good point. 90 % of all young black men dies by the hands of other young black men. But that doesn't give ratings and the moralizing liberals don't actually give a shit about that(including you, Roe). . Instead, when there's a white/black situation(a clear minority, and even in that minority most of the killing is done by blacks against whites, not the other way 'round) the media goes nuts. Time to race-bait! Ratings! . If there's something in this story that needs to be overlooked and scrutinized then it's much of the national media(excluding WSJ and FOX). It's also, frankly, offensive how much of the media jumped on Zimmerman probably mostly because of his lastname(and thought he was white) and because he was white, he was already deemed to be guilty. . That's a racist proposition but you know, when liberals do it, it can't happen you know. Just like liberals can't be anti-Semities and hate Jews(via proxy by Israel). Of course not. . There's something corrupt here and you know it. Actually Zimmerman is Hispanic.

The reason why no arrest has happened is because there is a witness to the incident. I'm sure their trying to figure out what happened. How to deconstruct racism in America is a big job. Just blaming old White men is not on target. There are 4 things that are really annoying me about this: 1) O-Bomb-a is using this as away to avoid the wars, economy and draconian police state. He can't run on anything he has done. Now he can cry about the kid. I wonder if he cried when he invaded Africa and destroyed Libya and now the AFRICOM (military)assault. 2) The parents of the victim are now looking to trademark "I am Trayvon". Sounds like their sadness morphed into an opportunity to make lots of money. 3) An unfair indictment of Whites in America. Al Sharpton and his cronies are getting too much attention!!! Sharpton has a long history of creating racial discord with lies. Research Tawana Brawley, Duke Lacrosse team and so on. The guy is slime. 4) The sad fact is that Blacks attacking Whites IS underreported. Just last week an elderly couple had a home invasion by Blacks where the 80 year old wife was killed and her husband in critical condition. Yes, some of the Black community is very violent toward's each other. Life is cheap for many.... that's why Black children often die in their reckless gun play. I live in the city... I see this all the time. I have also noted a huge uptick in racism against Whites. This is real. This was a horrible thing that happened.

There seems a fundamental unawareness of any community of brown people with the Arab population, or identification of the IDF with Bull Connor's police force.
