Re: Trayvon Martin Shooter Told Cops Teenager Went For His Gun

Hey Tom,

 

I am glad that you utilized the term that both the New York Times and NBC/MSNBC have adopted:  "White Latino".  

 

Under this logic, of calling Zimmerman a "White Latino";  would the same logic apply, in calling President Obama a:  "White African American"  or a  "White Negro"?  I mean, Zimmerman doesn't look all that "White" to me,  but I guess it depends on which day,  and which event we are looking at or trying to judge.....

 

I think the real reason that MSNBC/NBC, the New York TImes, and you choose the term, "White Hispanic",  is in an attemnpt to portray this as some type of racial hate crime, which it isn't,  and all of the hate spewing race baiters should publicly apologize.....(I will hold my breath on that one!)

False.

Was Trayvon Martin "standing his ground" and protectiing himself from
white-Latino Zimmerman?
