What if George Zimmerman had a more hispanic sounding name?

Posted on 03/25/2012 6:25:03 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

How much you want to bet that if "George Zimmerman" were instead "Pedro Zimmerman", or even how about "Pedro Hernandez". If he were Juan Gonzales, or Joze Bustamonte, Carlos Rodriguez, or Eduardo Garcia.......

There's no way the media could do the race baiting that they're getting away with now.

Everybody knows only white people can be racist. *SARCASM*

Bob Zimmerman is not Jewish, and Bob Dylan is not Irish. An upside down world.

I can assure that Hispanics are more racist than caucasions, especially towards Blacks.

The reports so far mean absolutely nothing because the media has long forgotten the need for facts and investigation. This incident will be sensationalized and not much will be based on reality until the trial.

Does anyone remember the murders of Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr. in Knoxville Tennessee?

...I didn't think so

What if Tony Curtis had a Jewish sounding name?

I’m thinking the simple solution is the old tried-and-true trial by combat.
We locate George/Jorge/Whorehay and the Martin family designates a warrior,
put `em both in Thunderdome: `Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves.’

On the same slate, “Two-Fisted” George Will vs. Calypso Louie;
Al “The Maniac” Sharpton vs. “Rowdy” Rush Limbaugh; Barry “AKA” Obama vs “Insanity” Santorum; Ann “Slats” Coulter vs. “Mo-Mo” Dowd; “Bilious” Bill Maher vs. A Rabid Chimpanzee; ... we could do this all night. Pay per view, yeah. Heh.

CBS news tonight admitted that a witness said Zimmerman was getting a beat down from the kid. So what we have here is a teachable moment about finding out whether people are packing before attacking.

I was told the media "working orders" were to down play the racial element of the Knoxville murders because of the potential sensationalism. I did a search and found the wikipedia entry omits pictures of the people who raped, tortured and murdered the young white couple

So I feel compelled to include them here...

and add that this was not considered a hate crime.

The thing that keeps getting me is that a lot of news outlets refer to Zimmerman as a ‘white hispanic’. Huh? I’ve filled out a ton of forms in my time and last time I checked there wasn’t an option for ‘white hispanic’ under ethnicity. It’s either ‘white/Caucasian’ or ‘hispanic’. Problem is that calling Zimmerman ‘hispanic’ doesn’t fit the narrative the MSM is pushing..after all, this incident was really a ‘white kills black’ crime, right, right? wink, wink.

I've been married to my Wife for 27 years. Her Mother is from Mexico and her Father is from Oklahoma. In all those years, I have never heard the expression “White Hispanic”.

Apparently the Media is competing with the Obama Administration for the title of “Most Transparent”.

I would not shed a tear if these Liberal “Journalists” were hung in the Public Square for Treason, but then again, that is probably a bit harsh. They just want Zimmerman hanging from a tree to even the score for what the KKK Democrats did way back when.
