What we, as in everybody, see from times like this are NOT normal reactions to situations.

MLK would be embarassed and would denounce the likes of these "black leaders". Now that man was a man of peace.

But the actual transcript is quite different. Zimmerman didn't even mention race until he was asked.

So why is MSNBC deliberately altering the transcript to make Zimmerman appear to connect "up to no good" with "he looks black" and leading the audience to assume he was saying Martin was up to no good because he was black?
I agree, that editing conveys an extra meaning beyond what he actually said.

Now, what about Zimmerman's statement, "these aholes always get away"? Who? Teenagers? Guys in hoodies? Tall people?

But what doesn't read is that first Trayvon ran away, then grew a pair and suddenly charged Zimmerman, starts bashing his head in dental plan style all while dropping bad 80's one-liners like, "tonigh- someone dies!"

Really. I'm surprised he didn't just say 'there will be blood'
..or that just before Martin went for Zimmerman's gun he said "Say hello to my little friend." They're trying to paint a picture of a gang banger. I heard someone on TV last week say Martin called Zimmerman "Homey."

Where did you see this? I've been watching MSNBC and they've played the actual 911 tape. I listened to it too, right from the Sanford Police Dept website, and posted the transcript word for word.

I've never once heard any reporter or anchor person on MSNBC say that Zimmerman is guilty. In fact, when I heard someone on MSNBC say Zimmerman was racially profiling Martin, they said it was because he said Martin was suspicious and up to no good, on drugs, etc., when all he saw was a Black teenager walking around. I did hear Martin's father say he wanted justice and mentioned convicting Zimmerman, but it's no different from Zimmerman's father talking about what his son told him happened that night.

No one seems to have a comment to the fact that the MSM continues to show a dated picture of Martin rather than a more recent photo. People magazine has a photo taken a few weeks before his death where he doesnt look like the doe-eyed 13 year old from the photo shown on TV.

JustNancy, speaking of the prez, he has always been sticking his nose into things that are non of his business because it happens to be about black/white things that happen.

Case in point, the black professor who was arrested in Cambridge when neighbors called 911 when they thought the dude was breaking into a house! The professor was surly and resisted arrest so they cuffed him and brought him to jail. Now the prez gets on national tv and says it was racial and what a bad person the white cop was for arresting the black dude. Even made them have a beer in the rose garden on tv! That was NONE OF HIS BUSINESS.

Then his illegal Aunt finally gets caught collecting years and years of welfare with a fake SS # here in Boston and nothing is done. Then his illegal Uncle gets caught drunk driving here in Boston again and again, he's not getting deported...just getting the fast track to being legal. WTF??? Total, total BS.

I didn't hear what Obama said about this case in Fla. but I can just imagine....poor, poor "little" black "boy". Right?

I saw a pic on some cover where he DOES look like a doe eyed little kid. I thought it was People. I'll have to go check the mags out again. (if there are any left)

In response to Dd714

Instead of cartoons, why don't you provide a real video of Obama promoting anger or violence. I can draw an illustration of you or anyone shooting heroin into ther veins...would that make it true? If you cannot put up an authentic video, you are doing nothing but proliferating spoonfed propaganda and does not speak much of your logic or intelligence.

That is my point. You have to look inside to see a recent photo .... Not the cover photo.
