Oh, absolutely he is, M.S.. But, the whole racial frenzy is predicated on him being white. I'm playing the devil's advocate and saying OK, fine, let's say it was Martin screaming and Zim was a ol' fat white guy (old compared to a 17 y/o kid). Why was Martin even there? He could have ran off or, better yet, minded his own business and just kept walking, or even called the police himself. Zim wasn't chasing him down yelling racial slurs and shooting at him.
If the racists concede that Zim was hispanic then the the whole racial frenzy collapses. That is, unless they want to start a media attack on hispanics. But, with the hispanics running them out of neighborhoods in CA I think they know better than to pick that battle. It's easier for the racist activists to fire up the old tried and true method of stirring up the ignorant and misguided against white people. The "rev's" make a buck on appearances and there's more money on the plate for the other wolves in sheeps clothing.
NBC to do ‘internal investigation’ on Zimmerman segment
NBC told this blog today that it would investigate its handling of a piece on the “Today” show that ham-handedly abridged the conversation between George Zimmerman and a dispatcher in the moments before the death of Trayvon Martin. A statement from NBC:
“We have launched an internal investigation into the editorial process surrounding this particular story.”Great news right there. As exposed by Fox News and media watchdog site NewsBusters, the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.Here’s how the actual conversation went down:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?Zimmerman: He looks black.The difference between what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today” version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in responding to such an inquiry.

Neighbor defends George Zimmerman
Friday, 30 Mar 2012
TAMPA - "One of George Zimmerman's neighbors is speaking out, saying looks can be deceiving.
Despite booking video from the Sanford Police Department that many say shows George Zimmerman largely unscathed from his encounter with Trayvon Martin, the neighbor said he saw Zimmerman with obvious injuries.
The neighbor is talking for the first time about what he saw on George Zimmerman's face less than 24-hours after Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
"I saw George. He was banged up. His head had two big bandages, that weren't flat, had a bump on them," the neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said.
He described where the injuries were.
"I seen him have a big bandage on his nose and his nose swollen. On the side, where his eyes were at, it was swollen," he said.
He points out exactly where on a picture.
"I seen the bandage right here, and this side of his nose and this side of his nose was swollen.
The surveillance video was r
eleased by Sanford police of Zimmerman when he was brought in for questioning after the shooting. Bruises and bandages aren't visible, but you can see an officer looking at the back of his head.
"Once you get into a fight you don't show bruises that day, it shows the next day," he said.
The neighbor says Zimmerman had to have acted in self-defense.
"I think something happened that night where he had to defend himself," the neighbor said.
He says that the voice heard screaming on the 911 call is that of George Zimmerman.
"I hear his voice every single day, I talk to him every single day," he said.
He says the case has haunted him.
"I've been thinking about it morning noon and night ever since I seen the bandages on him," he said.
He believes Zimmerman was defending his life, and that's why he's defending Zimmerman now. He says he doesn't believe race played a role in what happened.
"I don't think race is involved at all, because I've seen black, African-American folks come to George's house," he said.
The neighbor says he's tired of Zimmerman being portrayed as the bad guy.
"Everyone needs to let the justice system take its course before rushing to judgment," he said."
