Nejame on new Zimmerman family photo: "He really has significant multiracial, multicultural roots"
CNN ^ | May 10, 2012 | Jason Kurtz

This evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed Mark Nejame with new details on George Zimmerman, the man charged with killing Trayvon Martin.

Joining Piers Morgan for a live interview, the CNN legal analyst shared an exclusive photograph which suggests Zimmerman has black heritage:

"The man in the middle is apparently George Zimmerman's great-grandfather. The woman above him, is in fact his grandmother who is half black," explained Nejame. "And the little child in the gentleman's lap, is his mother. So we see that he really has signifcant multiracial, multicultural roots."

In a case ripe with racial undertones, Nejame suggests that Thursday's photo may help the Zimmerman camp refute theories that Martin's death was a result of profiling and bigotry:

"Talking to people that know him, I have changed my position," revealed the guest. "People can come up with whatever conclusions they want. But from looking at the facts and the evidence, I don't think there is a racial motive in there."(continued)

How is it that the "high-powered media" is weeks behind us on this case? We knew all about Mr. Zimmerman's black ancestor in April!!

Yeah, but so what?

I don’t care if his mom and dad are both Germans with blond hair and blue eyes for Pete’s sake.

His ancestory is irrelevent and has nothing to do with what happened.

This country is racist to its core apparently.

You’ve got that right, but not in the way the media would have you believe.

He is probably blacker than our supposed “first black president” as well, as many threads here have seemed to show that Dear Leader is much more Arab than black on his father’s side, whereas Mr. Zimmerman is probably 1/4 or 1/8 black.

It has everything to do with what the media has done, what the race baiter industry has done and with his being arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder. None of that would have happened if his true ethnicity had been publicized in the beginning.

The only racist ppl are the media/journalist who jump to conclusions base on race and encouraged racial violence/death to occur all around the country because of their racist reporting

The sad part is that so many people think the skin color of George Zimmerman’s grandparents is relevant to the “criminal” case. Have we forgotten about the facts of the case being relevant? The only thing that matters is whether Zimmerman hunted down a cute little black kid who was carrying Skittles home to his brother or a criminal trained as a football player to hit people hard attacked someone interfering with casing the neighborhood and Zimmerman shot in self-defense to save his own life or avoid serious injury. Where is the evidence regarding the facts? [rhetorical - this is Obama’s America]

Sharpton and Jackson, came in and got this thing rolling.

They have spent years watching black on black crime and killings and said nothing.

Now they have an opportunity to hang what they call a white man. That is what got them involved, not the killing. These two ne’er do wells have never done a day’s work and have never supported anything white in their lives and survive by provoking racial hatred.Trayvon and cases like his keep them relevant.

Sharpton and Jackson have done more to keep blacks on the plantation than any other living person’s up until Obama showed up.

The left certainly is.

Meanwhile my family and I are watching TV while some liberal @ssclown announces that all conservatives hate Latinos.

So my morena wife and kids look at me laughing while I am compelled to announce: "It's true, I hate you all..."

*sigh*

No, I disagree.

Liberals, of which there are a huge number, are racist, and so are black people for that matter.

And I mean highly racist as in obsessed with it to the point that they see nothing else.

But why?

Why does his ethnicity matter at all?

I am german/ english. Do I not have a right to defend myself with with deadly force from a black man trying to kill me?

Are they still stirring things up in Florida?

No matter what his background, if he knew that the recent break-ins in his neighborhood were being committed by young black males, he is a racist.

Being non-racist is about not knowing such things. Not knowing with every fiber of your being.

So in the minds of these racial vetting arbiters, Zimmermans motives AND HIS VERY THOUGHTS werent valid untill they were viewed through the prism of his politically correct racial ancestry and those who have been designated to read his mind?

Which leads me to my next question, does a bigot deserve the right to lawful self defense? Or does his thought crime cause him to forfeit all constitutional liberties as we succumb to the hectoring of the racial industrial complex and the cultural marxist lynch mob?

Nonsense. Obama is half Luo, NOT half Arab. But I agree that Zimmerman is indeed blacker than Liz Warren is Indian.
