Okay. So I'm right. It was the dispatcher who FIRST introduced race into the situation. If the question had not been asked, there would not have been anything to change. NBC was very wrong to edit that tape, no doubt about it. Still, it was the dispatcher who asked the question about race.
I hope you're writing this tongue-in-cheek. Yes? The 911 dispatcher was doing his job by asking for a description. "Is he White, Black or Hispanic" isn't a racially motivated question.
There goes the Left's Narrative. Zimmerman is a brown Hispanic Democrat with black ancestry.
The "Left?" I was thinking just the opposite. Zimmerman has been the poster boy for the NRA and the right wing conservatives who support the Stand-Your-Ground laws. Who bought all of the shooting targets resembling Trayvon Martin? Left-wing liberals?
The discussion about his ancestry is ludicrous and irrelevant to the case. So now this is a Black on Black crime?
I wonder what left/right/conservatives/liberals/and every race/racist, would have to talk about if the subject of racism disappeared? Obviously the majority of people want it to exist. Gives them some place to put their "ugly".
Some of these people called for violence and violence has been done in Trayvon's name.......not
Not?? Really???
Quote:
According to the police report, Watts claims that his six assailants—who range in age from 11 to 17—jumped him as he walked home, knocking him to the ground. He maintains that even after he was down, they continued to punch and kick him, all the while shouting, "[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon … Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]."

Not saying it was racially motivated. Just saying that factually the dispatcher was the one who brought up the subject of race. That got the ball rolling eventually.
Many here are saying that the race issue came into play only when Martin family supporters got involved. That's technically not true.

According to the comotose libs, it's the much feared PROFILING.
He who does not profile is an idiot of the highest degree.
The fact that people are upset by this quote, and pointing to it as some sort of proof that Obama is dividing the country, or is a racist, is laughable. It's a pretty simple truth, the two do look somewhat alike.
I am not upset by the quote. Quite frankly it was simply inane. It accomplished nothing, other than to provide more ammunition for everyone to point at race.
Obama has more important things to do, and has avoided doing them his entire presidency.
The MARTIN/ZIMMERMAN case should be left alone to resolve itself in court without the media circus.
