Oh please. My husband has been a victim of racism due to being "Hispanic" (non-WASP).
What do you mean "thought" he was "white?" Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is mestiza, generally speaking. In other words, his predominant heritage is European. Secondly, since when can't Hispanics not be racist? There are people in every group that are racist.
Hispanic ain't a race. Some are white, some are Black and some are Indian or Asian tho most like Zimmerman are mixed.
Botswana is impressive, but it also only has a population of 2 million.
Botswana is an example of self-determination, building up on your own the country and society you want as opposed to whining about not being included in a society that other people have built.
There is a belief among many Black people that the advantages Whites enjoy over Blacks in terms of wealth is as reconmark states, "Ill gotten". Certainly there was a level of exploitation involved but at the end of the day Whites built a society for their benefit. Blacks need to do the same.
I view the world as a giant Nash Equilibrium or game theory. Unfortunately Blacks routinely end up in the short end because we are simply not playing the game.

That's exactly my point. He is predominantly WHITE...and can be referred to as such. Stop with the one-drop rule already. So no need for you to try to educate me about what I've always known and married. Thanks.
