So because he doesn't look like a typical white person, he's not a typical white racist?! Really?! When you look at the action that took place? Or his language in the police recording?
And itshim, half of the stuff you're pointing out having NOTHING to do with this case. Who does Zimmerman solving previous crimes and Trayvon being suspended from school have to do with Zimmerman murdering Trayvon for being black while walking the neighborhood?!!
A lot of times when men are involved in psychical altercations they say things that they do not really mean. I am sure if he was gay or if he was wearing a shirt that said "Irish Pride or Italian Pride" he would have been called a slur for one of those. How do we know that Trayvon did not call him a "cracker" or "sp**"?
You really shouldn't call a person a racist based on an event like this. People say things they don't mean, I am sure you have as well.
Flat out BS. Can't believe people are reaching this far when it's plain as day what happened and what the motive was.

Or I dunno...maybe because he's not a typical white racist? Maybe he's a hispanic racist? Do you not understand that this exists? Did you know that there are black racists as well?
You lost all credibility here with "quite a few Hispanics are racists", now if I said this about blacks I would have been ostracized. You can't have it both ways, buddy.
What the hell are you babbling on about?
My point is that a racist can be of any background.

It is only "BS" because it is not politically correct. I am not politically correct, it seems you cannot handle a civil debate. When you are able to do this you will be mature enough to debate with me. Peace.
Just like the U.S. media was quick to jump to conclusions about the Jewish school shooting in France, they claimed it was "likely a Neo - Nazi" and approximately an hour later it was revealed the killer was a Muslim with ties to an Algerian Al Qaeda terror cell. Take ANYTHING that the media says with a grain of salt!
In Norway it was somekind of neo-nazi who blew up the governmental district and executed 50 youngsters but at first the media yelled Al Qaeda.

Don't condescend to me. I never said anything about black or Hispanic racists. And if you had asked, instead of assuming, you would know that I acknowledge that anyone can be racist. Sticking to the topic, in the context of this situation, he most definitely fits into the white racist as it mimics the murders that used to happen frequently back then especially giving this happened in Florida.
JerryF1, it seems you cannot handle when someone calls out low-rate playing the devil's advocate when there's little room for it. When you are able to do this, then you can debate with me.
