Why does it matter if Zimmerman was or was not a racist? I don’t believe he’s a racist, but so what if he is? Doesn’t a racist have the right to defend himself if some punk is sitting on his chest beating his head against the ground?

Why does it matter? Because it’s another blow against the narrative we’ve been subjected to by the Media and the Race Hustlers.

It matters because, like it or not, we have Federal Hate crimes law he could have been charged under if in fact he had said “coons”. It would have been used as evidence he was racially profiling the hoodlum trayvan.

I agree. Our constitution doesn't say we have rights unless we're deemed to be racist.

Of course it matters.

If Zimmerman's stalking of what he claimed was a suspicious person can be acribed to racist profiling, then the left can rightly conclude that their latest martyr would not be dead except for that racist profiling. The problem for the scumbag lefty Democrats is that they can find absolutely no evidence of racism, and instead are gnashing their teeth as anecdotal evidence keeps popping up which indicates that this hispanic fellow Zimmerman was likely anything BUT a racist.

I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop.
Did Trayvon steal those Skittles?
Was Trayvon casing apartments in that low-rent "gated community"?
