Not to mention, GZ is not part black; he's part hispanic. I saw a picture of his Ecuadorean grandfather; he wasn't black; he looked like a South American Native American. Oh wait, that's what he was!
Part Hispanic? Hispanic ain't a race; it's a label tho in the real world it's a "nice" way of saying "people of color" who don't want to own up to be part Black or Indian so they hide behind a kind of Spanish culture.
Well, obvi, you can be both black and Hispanic. Hispanic itself is a mixture of AmerInd and white. Zimmerman himself identified as Hispanic.
And black. Where do you think all the slaves from Africa brought to every Latin American nation went? Hint -- they didn't return to Africa. They went into the "mestiso" group.
How racist for "hispanics" to pretend there were never any slaves to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Peru, Mexico. Every hispanic nation practiced slavery and the descendents of those slaves remain in those countries. Smallpox killed off most of the Indians in those countries, in country's like Peru where Zimmerman is from, the Indians were hunted down and killed by the hispanics.
Yes -- but then it would mean that they stop trying to make the Zimmerman-Martin case about race and stop pretending Zimmerman was white and so racially motivated. Very possible that Martin has a drop of white and even "amerind" in him too. Then they would both have been mestiso.

I don't think you know what hispanic is. Spare me your educational efforts, please.

Seems to me your side has done a marvelous job of playing the race card as well, eh?

"Hispanic" is a word which can be twisted to suit an agenda.
Mitt Romney is "anglo white" to most Americans tho his father was born IN Mexico AND Mitt has lots of family, "white" people living in Mexico in 2013, they're def "Hispanics".
The most common definition of "Hispanic" at least here in Colorado, is someone with white and AmerInd ancestry. Mitt Romney does not fit that definition (that I know of).
If anthropologists are correct, then everyone descended from common ancestors millions of years ago from the savannahs of Africa....most likely black. So, one drop...we'd all be black.
