I'm still confused about Trayvon Martin's killer's race. In the beginning media branded him as white, but when a photo of George Zimmerman was later released it was revealed he is clearly Hispanic. Does this mean Trayvon's murder was a case of inter-PoC racism? I personally believe Hispanics should take responsibility for their generally racist attitudes against blacks and for Zimmerman.

You that dumbass anti-immigration anon again? Seriously, fuck off.

Zimmerman is half white and half Latino. His father is white and his mother his Latina.

siddharthasmama: sonofbaldwin: Would he have been arrested on the spot? Would the cops have believed self-defense? Would the teenager be villianized? Would the murderer be out on bail? Would ANY of that have gone down different if Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman looked like this? This just made my heart race because I know exactly how this would have gone down, and trust that George would be under the jail if he even made it through the night.

ladyatheist: ladyhippie: danielmcbatman: think-progress: BREAKING: George Zimmerman launches a website featuring a vandalized black cultural center. there are no words. I’m completely at a loss for words. I read this and I want to cry and finally declare the human race as done.  I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.  Do you want to know what I see when I look at this? Instead of “Justice for Zimmerman”, I see “That Nigger Deserved It”. Instead of ” Long Live Zimmerman”, I see “Long Live Whiteness”. I see people blaming a child for his murder. I see people siding with and protecting the murderer. I see people relishing in the fact that they get to express their long held hatred for Black people and cloak it in the premise of “protecting an innocent man”. I see a society that says that Black children are inherently suspicious and can be shot on sight without repercussion. I see a society that says Black lives carry little to no value. In short, I see the effects of white supremacy and what happens when we ignore it in favor of the “post-racial” myth.

More Updates in the Trayvon Martin Murder Case (3/22/12)

generalbriefing:

thepoliticalfreakshow:

More things have happened that relate to this case. Here’s the latest:

  1. Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett has expressed doubts on how the investigation into the murder of Trayvon Martin was conducted. Sources state that the Sanford Police Department interviewed Zimmerman for five hours the night of the shooting, and again the following day at a re-enactment of the incident. Relations between Caucasians and blacks in the Sanford community were already strained, due to a 2010 incident where a black homeless man was struck unconscious by the son of a Sanford Police lieutenant. The lieutenant’s son was not charged for three weeks. [CBS News]
  2. During the course of eight years, George Zimmerman called 911 in 46 separate incidents, which you can read here. In November 2006, Zimmerman called 911 to report that a “late model red Toyota pickup” was “driving around the neighborhood” for several minutes. In June 2009, Zimmerman called 911 to report that people were misbehaving in the community-pool area. His obsession with black males started in early 2011. On April 22, 2011, Zimmerman called to report a “black male, about 7-9 years old, four feet tall, with a skinny build (HE REPORTED A KID!!!) On August 3, 2011, Zimmerman called to report a black male who he believed was responsible in recent burglaries in his neighborhood. And, on October 1, 2011, Zimmerman reported to police that he saw two black male suspects because he “didn’t recognize them.” Zimmerman was only a member of the Neighborhood Watch since September 2011, due to the watch not existing before then. In his Neighborhood Watch training, he was instructed that “the neighborhood watch is “NOT the vigilante police.” In total, the Sanford Police was called to the community a total of 402 times in the last 13 months, with a small percentage of those calls coming from Zimmerman himself. [The Daily Beast]
  3. Florida Governor Rick Scott appointed a new special prosecutor to investigate the Trayvon Martin case. State Attorney Angela Corey of Jacksonville will now be in charge of the investigation of the events that led to Trayvon’s murder. [The Palm Beach Post]
  4. The full details of the 46 calls that George Zimmerman made to Sanford Police 911 between August 2004 and February 26, 2012 have been released by the Sanford Police Department. You can see the full list here, and an explanation of the Sanford Police codes is here. [The Daily Beast]
  5. Skittles, owned by the Wm. Wrigley Company Inc., issues a statement regarding the tragedy. It reads, “We are deeply saddened by the news of Trayvon Martin’s death and express our sincere condolences to his family and friends. We also respect their privacy and feel it inappropriate to get involved or comment further as we would never wish for our actions to be perceived as an attempt of commercial gain following this tragedy.” To send a pack of Skittles in protest of the Sanford Police Department’s handling of the tragedy: 815 West 13th Street, Sanford, Florida 32771 Phone: 407-688-5070, Fax: 407-688-5071. [News One] 
  6. Trayvon’s parents say that the stepping aside of Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee is not enough. His parents want an arrest, a conviction, and a sentencing of George Zimmerman. [The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]
