    The left is going to dismiss this thread based on the source rather than substance. And while I didn't read the Gallup poll, the third word in the story links to it.

    But the story illustrates how the left and their media antagonists play the race card and use identity politics to their advantage and within the story are examples the left can not deny.

    This story is a good read and is accurate to a T.

    But then Obama realized he coulda had a son and told Ferguson rioters to stay the course.

    The fiction that this dope smoking punk with a past record was an innocent, pure as the driven snow victim was the hoax. He was no doubt casing the neighborhood for his next heist.

    The MSM’s portrayal of what really happened was a hoax. It wasn’t until the trial that most folks learned that ‘Saint Trayvon’ was on top of Zimmerman beating him.......

    Multiculturalism killed rice relations. By emphasizing our differences, multiculturalism has Balkanized us. Of course, that’s exactly what the left wants. Divide and conquer.

    As a nation, we could stress our similarities and work toward unification (the melting pot). The Democratic Party chooses not to do that. They profit off rancor and division.

    Fully a hoax, from lightening his complexion to look less black, to editing the 911 call to make GZ out to be a racist, to calling GZ a white hispanic, to attacking Florida’s stand your ground law that GZ never invoked.

    Yes, it was a hoax. Twice they refused to arrest and prosecute Zimmerman but the media played the race card, Sharpton took his traveling race show to Florida and suddenly Zman was arrested, and after all that he was found not guilty. So I have no idea what your hang up with with Martin when thousands of other people are murdered across the country, especially in liberal cities.

    BTW, Martin's murder didn't seem to cause his parents any anguish, they hustled t-shirts and got a million dollar settlement for the condo association. They even got to visit Obama.

    Obama's mishandling of both the Trayvon case and the Ferguson case both set race relations back at least half a century in this country. I don't think that's a "****ing joke".

    The details surrounding his death were absolutely reported initially as a lie, yes.

    That is what a hoax is.

    The whole thing was shameful. The town was turned upside down, police officers were second guessed and put thru the wringer, Zimmerman's life was virtually destroyed, and countless hours and dollars were wasted on Obama's damned "he could have been my son" race hustling circus.

    Too bad the town of Sanford couldn't sue Obama and Sharpton.

    The only ones who came out ahead were Trayvon's parents.

    I don't so much blame blacks for the damage done, I do blame Democrats. Blacks must learn to stop allowing Democrats to lead them around like children.

    Zimmerman never came out ahead. Actually he did not come close to getting even. The man has a large part of Americans that view him as an unpunished criminal. Notice when they describe the two men, they forget how much larger Trayvon was than is Zimmerman.

    Were a man pounding my head into concrete and I had a pistol, white, black or spotted and he gets the end of the barrel.

    Obama went out of his way to be the BLACK president FOR blacks rather than simply the president.

    To Robert & Libby........Zimmerman got away with manslaughter...the fix was in with local law enforcement via his dad's connections. Zimmerman tailed a kid walking home from a relatives because of his personal suspicions and wanna-be cop attitude....AND THE COPS ON THE 911 TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS NO LONGER NECESSARY TO TAIL MARTIN, yet he continued. Then he lied about how Martin was hiding behind a bush then lunged out at him. A matter of fact, a matter of history.

    And folk like just couldn't stand the fact that a black man won 2 elections with the vote from majority and minority population....So like your reps in Congress, you're just against anything the man said or did, and subsequently lie about his legacy.

    And finally, how in the hell does a hoax by a jackass actor equate with manslaughter of an innocent adolescent?

    Despite your absurd and unsubstantiated paranoid conspiracy theory regarding a "fix" with "local law enforcement", Zimmerman was found not guilty, and try as they might the DOJ and the FBI couldn't find anything to charge him with either.

    As far as Obama, at the time of Trayvon's shooting Obama had only won one election (and I voted for him in that election.) His mishandling of the Trayvon case, and his subsequent mishandling of the case in Ferguson, led him to be highly criticized for inflaming racial tensions and division in this country ---- and the criticism was rightly deserved. I did not vote for him again in 2012. Civil rights and equality is actually something I feel very strongly about. A racist black is as bad as a racist white, and watching Obama set race relations back 50 years was not something I took lightly.

    The multiple hoaxes which have been mentioned in this thread ---- including the hoax perpetuated by the media regarding Trayvon ---- are all being discussed together because they are all hoaxes (the subject of this thread.)

    Did you all realize it was seven years ago today when Trayvon was killed?

    Wasn't there a jury in his case? and wasn't the jury sequestered? How did they get the fix in with the jury? In particular under FL law 6 are required, and there are 4 alternatives....how did they get the fix in knowing who was actrually on the jury panel? and how was the fix in on Manslaugher when he wasn't on trial for that, the Judge didnt even say they could consider it until the close of evidence and the defense argued for it's to be included?

    Zimmerman was a brown Hispanic, not White. He was attacked by the thug Trayvon and defended himself. The . . . jury . . . agreed. Obama was simply race agitating and trying like hell to pollute the potential jury pool while intimidating the future sitting judge. He failed but still he tried like hell and the leftist allied Mainstream Media openly worked with him hand in hand.
