Zimmerman's Dad: Blacks Are the Racists
The Root ^ | June 14, 2013 | Corey Dade

Posted on 06/15/2013 9:43:36 AM PDT by nickcarraway

In his new e-book, Robert Zimmerman Sr. blames black leaders for fanning racial flames.

With his son on trial for murder in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, the father of George Zimmerman has published an e-book criticizing the case and calling some African-American leaders who called for his son's arrest racists. Robert Zimmerman Sr.'s book, Florida v. Zimmerman: Uncovering the Malicious Prosecution of My Son, George, was released on Friday at Amazon.com for $3.99.

Zimmerman writes at length about his background and his family's multiracial identity, seemingly to counter accusations that his son, a 29-year-old neighborhood-watch volunteer, was racially motivated to shoot the unarmed black 17-year-old last year. Zimmerman is white, and his wife is Hispanic.

"In the Zimmerman household, relatives, friends, neighbors and classmates were certainly a diverse, wholly accepted mix." He describes his son's prom date as "a lovely young lady ... They were an attractive couple. No one ever even considered the fact that George was Hispanic and the young lady happened to be black."

Zimmerman devotes a chapter to the racial overtones of the case that promise to further inflame the issue. In the chapter "Who Are the True Racists?" he accuses a number of black leaders and organizations of being racist. He also criticizes the attorneys representing the Martin family as being race-baiting schemers.

He writes that before the shooting, he believed that "generally racism was a thing of the past." But after the national outcry against his son, he says he realized that racism is "flourishing at the insistence of some in the African American Community."

I would suspect that the money comes from the Trashcans for Trayvon charity and maybe even Home Owners Association money. But money must be tight since we haven’t seen any demonstrators at the courthouse.

Nope. They are only interested in the welfare dollars the Democrat Party enabled them to get. That it destroyed their self respect, their way of life, homes, and souls was immaterial. Then, they went to work on the Whites and the results were the same.

The only thing that they have going for them is the THREAT of riots, and that is as empty as the prosecution's case because all those black pastors behind the prosecution are being paid to be there to prevent those riots. So if they do occur they don't get paid.

I was in L.A. for the Rodney King riots... and those weren't "expected" either. Years later, up in Seattle, I had a tenant who I later discovered had done 5 years in prison out in Spokane for murdering a random white guy when he heard the King verdict on TV. It doesn't take much to get riots going.

I was there for those riots. Rodney King was a sympathetic character — only later did the public find out the facts of that night that justified the police action.

In this case all the facts about Tryavon Martin’s real activities are in the public domain — ahead of time. And they are not worthy of even a demonstration — without pay.

No one in the hood really wants to demonstrate for this kid without money upfront.

His parents and the CRS pastors don’t even want to be in the courtroom for fear of hearing the facts about the real Trayvon that they have been denying for a year.

Yep! The tiger they were riding turned and ate them. In the end, we individually and as a Nation usually get what we deserve. We, as a nation, did not value our freedom, so it waslost. Traded for a bowl of Government stew.

Those who want to lynch Zimmerman have had an open microphone since the incident. It’s likely helpful to have some opposing info out there.

Well, if the prosecution opens the door leading to this book in court, he doesn't get to pick and choose what parts of the book are admissible, does he? I don't think that the prosecution would dare, under that assumption at least.

The lady in your picture has blue eye color so she isn’t an albino.

*******

Albinism is a genetic disorder and albinos can have blue eyes to pink eyes and varying shades of blond to white hair.

They also have nystagmus (eyes jiggle left to right or up and down) and the Michael Jackson skin disease vitiligo is common.

And I’m not saying MJ was an albino nor did he have vitiligo as he claimed.

Maybe it was bad timing, but now it’s out there. I just bought a copy; I hope it helps in whatever little bit it can with the defense.

“Ol Al Sharpton no want to answer questions about Tawana Brawley, Crown Heights, Duke Lacrosse, etc...”

==

Don’t forget Freddy’s Fashion Mart and the multiple deaths that resulted. Sharpton is a criminal as far as I’m concerned and yet the MSM will still have him as a guest to express his opinion on various matters.

He is evil personified.

Uncle Chip, Uncle Chip,

Hold off on the facts, will ya? I got inventory to unload. Things went south in the Vatican marketing talks. They refused to set up a St. Trayvon Parish. Can you believe it!

Now I could be stuck with 10,000 St. Trayvon Hoodies and Trayvon bobble-heads with the gold grillwork because the riot team just isn't coming up with the bodies.

Going to deep discounts.

Maybe he feels that telling the truth is the best way to help his son. I agree. It’s time to tell liberal bullies that we’re not frightened of them anymore.

The reason the press went after Zimmerman with such hatred was because they thought he was a middle class, middle aged white man. If you think it’s bad for Zimmerman - think what it would be like for one of us? All that liberal hatred looking for some conservative to focus their hatred on...

We need to stand with Zimmerman’s father on this issue. Next time it could really be one of us...

“You can’t whitewash all black people”...No, but putting your faith in them to oppose their own racists is a losing strategy, not unlike expecting muslims to march against jihad.
