The best they could bring themsleves to is say he idtenfied as Hispanic. I guess it was just to hard the sell the southern white racist narrative if you you just called him a Hispanic.

Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing.

Does it matter now? Martin is still dead and Zimmerman will stay free. It's over.

C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here.

"I am not a racist I swear it" is what we are reduced for not agreeing on race

There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM*

People do forget that he's only half black - and more importantly, not "African American" at all.

I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has.

Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person.

That makes sense. Generally, though, one should go by whatever the person in question identifies as. *NM*
