Zimmerman is Hispanic correct? How / why does this become a race thing?
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama

Yes?Since Zimmerman didn't really come up with anything else concrete, race is the most straight-forward explanation of why he found Martin suspicious.

Good point. All racism must come from white people.

It sure is getting crazy with NBC doctoring the tapeEnhanced tapes show gashes on Zimmerman's head in the police video.And the 'journalist' are being called to task for sensationalizing things to sell advertisements.I'm sure there will be a fair trial.

lol. Yeah, Zimmerman is definitely innocent now. I'm not defending the media being overzealous any more than people should be defending the conservative media for trying to paint Martin as a career criminal who swings at bus drivers and has tattoos.I'm still waiting for you to add anything of value to a political discussion. It's only been half a decade. In fairness, calling me and others names is as close as you have come.Voice experts agree that Zimmerman is lying about the screams on the 911 call coming from him: http://www.cnn.com/2...ting/index.htmlI wonder how the mental midgets will spin this!

Interesting quote from Rush yesterday regarding your faulty 'conservative news' opinion:This is a Fox News story I'm reading from. "After racially profiling him and stalking the youth through the neighborhood." There was no racial profiling. Doesn't that kind of cut the legs off the entire mainstream media story on this? There wasn't any racial profiling. ABC's first videotape shows no injury to Zimmerman. But then all of a sudden for some reason they found another layer on the video, and when they enhanced it, lo and behold, right here it is, there's a gash. Well, what other video has ABC shown us over the years that has not been enhanced? (interruption) What was the evidence for racial profiling? The NBC 911 tape. The evidence for racial profiling was the NBC 911 tape. (interruption) The hoodie? Well, no. Snerdley, the reason why they think there's racial profiling is because of what NBC did with the 911 tape. All news programs got it wrong, some of them falsified things though, while others went along with the status quo. Which is your side guilty of? My side went along with the status quo....

Calling you names is his attempt to try to get you guys to understand how wrong you are. So far it isn't working. Me proving it again and again isn't either, so I can't really find fault with his methods....

You are missing the point. He was profiling the kid as a threat based on personal observation. You only have to listen to the tape. Do people do this? Do people have kneejerk reactions to stereotypes? Could they be correct? Of course.But we can't entrust random people with guns to patrol the neighborhood shooting people who have no training in how to deal with such things. Training assures that we aren't making kneejerk reactions, forcing people to slow down and use cognition and safe measures to ensure innocent people don't get killed.

Which tape? the one doctored by the liberal media that poisoned the argument? The one where he says: "There is a guy who looks suspicious and he is black"Or the one where he says: "There a guy who looks suspicious." and the police ask what color he is and he says "I don't know, black I think"Of course we can have American citizens patrol our own neighborhoods, armed to the teeth if they want. Only the left thinks average Americans have too many rights.

So then your answer to my question, "You seem to be saying that if it were a mostly white community then it would be suspicious for a black kid to be walking around. Is this what you are saying?" seems to be a simple "Yes," correct? I'm not sure why it took you so many words to say that.
I live in a black community. One of my son's friends were pulled over by the police when he was leaving our court because the cop thought is was suspicious that he was coming out of our neighborhood.

Well since he's dead, they don't have a sample of Martin's voice. They do have a sample of Zimmerman's voice from his 911 call which is what the experts used to compare against the screams/cries.

npr played the audio from the call with the screams for help in the background right after the story broke, and it was essentially taken for granted that the screams were martin's. it's painfully obvious that it's a young person.
