“Are Hispanics allowed to think negative thoughts about other Hispanics?”

Ask a Cuban what they think of Central Americans, and especially Mexicans.

We need two dozen more doofus posts on this thread saying:

1) That Zimmerman is Mecixan (the first dozen),

2) That his mother is Peroovian (the second dozen.)

The past of both individuals are absolutely fair game,are essential to determine,in fact.The actual events,IMO,cannot be determined to a convincing degree so,for me,their pasts will suggest which one was more likely to blame for what happened.

Not only are you incorrect about the ability of the actual events to be determined by the known facts, your "solution" to this "problem" drowns all due process in sheer irrationality.

Thank God you're not on the jury.

Between the two, I think I would have rather lived in Peru--less chance of being killed as part of a religious ceremony.

You might want to ask Billy Jeff about that.

Quoth Billy in 1996, If I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy!

According to the Associated Press, Peruvian scientists at the time called his remark "tasteless."

In which case, the only possible verdict is Not Guilty.

so,for me,their pasts will suggest which one was more likely to blame for what happened.

That goes only to the question of, whether you, as a juror, will be enthusiastic or regretful as you render your Not Guilty.

This is the first I've heard of “white supremacists” hacking into Trayvon’s email, and that the thug photos of him were “proven fakes”. After all the fake reports from the msm, I don't think we can believe anything.

Re: “White Supremacists”

First time I've heard about it, too.

The two major players I know about in finding and analyzing Trayvon’s social media presence:

(1) DailyCaller.com

(2) Wagist.com

The “fake” thug photo of Trayvon was an honest error.

It was pulled from an account registered to “Trayvon Martin.”

And, the guy in the photo had a passing resemblance to Martin.

And at least one major blogger - Michelle Malkin - published the picture.

Within 24 hours she publicly acknowledged the error, apologized, and pulled the photo.

First thing I noticed.....

No date reported on when Zimmerman wrote this.

It was written in 2005.

Seven years ago.

Zimmerman was 21 years old.

Here's the original link for the Herald article:

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/05/01/v-fullstory/2778234/myspace-page-is-latest-salvo-in.html

They have a link to the MySpace page, but I can't find the Mexican quotes anywhere.

Maybe I don't know how MySpace works?

Supposedly, Z-man is part black, too.

Seven years ago makes him 21 at the time.

Zimmerman is part Mexican...how can they rag on him for dissing his own folk?

He's Peruvian. The Incas ran an empire of 700,000 square miles with a 25,000 mile road system.

The Asteks built the ugliest SUV ever, and no roads for it to run on.

You might have noticed the there have been about 17 posts alerting me to his Peruvian heritage rather than Mexican.

Would all of you missed my point if I’d written “Hispanic”?

Have you noticed that it doesn’t matter where a Black person comes from, they make no distinction when referencing “African-American”?
