[FairfieldLife] Re: Zimmerman trial - So, it's all about race

So, the Obama Administration needed to increase 
racial tension to boost black turnout in 2012? 
This is just outrageous!

At every turn in the 40-minute interview with 
CNN's Howell, Lee doggedly defended his investigators, 
saying race never played a role in any decision 
and that his officers conducted an unbiased review.

 But whatever George Zimmerman's culpability in 
 Martin's shooting, he is not to blame for the 
 social order of pre-civil-rights America. He 
 has every right to mount a vigorous defense, 
 and the judge and jury have a duty, as in any 
 trial, to give the defendant the benefit of 
 any reasonable doubt.
 
 The rightful term to describe a criminal trial 
 that serves as a 'referendum' is show trial.

   guilty of misuse of the facts to promote a political agenda.

  That's a remarkable statement to come from the Martin 
  legal team, since race is the only reason we're having 
  this trial at all. 
  
  Everyone from the Martin family's lawyers, to the 
  professional grievance industry, to characters like the 
  New Black Panther Party was busy whipping up riot 
  conditions and treating Zimmerman as a fugitive from 
  racial justice, which led to filmmaker Spike Lee 
  endangering the lives of an innocent couple that just 
  happened to be named 'Zimmerman.' 
  
  And there's a good reason the media referred to 
  Zimmerman as 'white' until photos of him finally leaked 
  out, and they had to change it to 'white Hispanic,' a 
  very special demographic of which George Zimmerman 
  seems to remain the only high-profile member.
