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.

profiled by a *white*, oops, *white Hispanic* vigilante. NBC was caught ,
red-handed, editing 911 tapes in an attempt to make Zimmerman's motives
look racially charged. At the same time,the media only shows us photos of
Martin some 4 -5 years younger, less intimidating, no *grill*,no mention
of his reputation for fighting or drug use. The facts coming out in the
trial are showing why Zimmerman was not charged in the first place. As
far as I'm concerned, it's the media that is on trial and I find them
guilty of misuse of the facts to promote a political agenda.

We don't believe the focus was really race - Martin
Family Attorney
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.
