Back in the day in some Jim Crow states even if a pasty skin blue eye blond person had ANY "Black" in their family; they were called "Black".

Not in 2013. Tho it's now well known that George Zimmerman is both Black AND "Hispanic"; apparently BOTH the white supremacists AND the Black supremacists are calling GZ "white" since he offed Treyvon Martin who was def "Black".

Shooting of Trayvon Martin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Michael Zimmerman was born on October 5, 1983, in Manassas, Virginia,[53] and is the son of Gladys (née Mesa) Zimmerman, who was born in Peru,[2] and Robert Zimmerman, Sr., a retired Virginia magistrate.[54][55] He was raised as a Catholic,[2] in a family that his father has described as "multiracial;" his father is a white American of German descent[56] and his mother is Peruvian with some black ancestry through her Afro-Peruvian maternal grandfather.[2][Note 1] Zimmerman's voter registration record lists him as Hispanic and a registered Democrat.[57][58]

It is necessary to find some minority ancestor for ol' George so the racists can disguise their gleeful support for a white man who "offed" a black teenager. "See? We're not racists! Our hero George is black, too!"

Wow. So it's Ok for Black people to try to claim a "white" person with some known Black family if that person has a good rep but deny that same person if he has a bad rep?

George Zimmerman: part Black mom; bad rep
Mariah Carey: part Black dad; good rep

Too; BOTH are also "Hispanic".
