Is there anybody that is more racist than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?

Race enters the equation in four ways:

1) Martin was black.

2) Suspicion that Zimmerman was following Martin initially simply because he was black. While I think Zimmerman clearly has some kind of overactive obsession with being a cop, this particular claim I wonder about because on the 911 tape he says he can;t tell what race Martin is because of the hoodie. Its only after a little bit he can tell the dispatcher the race.

3) Suspicion that the police did not take the case seriously because the victim was black. Now, this is part and parcel of a larger problem in that community, which has existed for many decades. It is something that has to be worked on, and this incident is bringing all of that to the surface.

4) Hijacked for personal reasons by the leaders who don;t have the good sense (or ability, either one) to harp on 1 and 3 above, legitimately, but tell people we need to wait until the facts are in on 2, above.

1. Zimmerman was Latino

2. Suspicion is Trayvon followed Zimmerman back to where he parked and hit him simply because he was Latino. (minority defense goes both ways)
"In 2008, Zimmerman completed a 14-week citizens' police academy program offered by the Seminole Sheriff's Department. "At the time the homeowners association decided to organize a neighborhood watch, George Zimmerman was the only volunteer. He was then chosen as the neighborhood watch coordinator by his neighbors, according to Wendy Dorival, who organizes Neighborhood Watch for the Sanford Police Department. It was reported Mr. Zimmerman wanted the neighborhood to be safe for his wife who encouraged him to get a gun permit because of the area's high crime rate. The February 2012 Homeowner association newsletter requested that crime victims "call our captain, George Zimmerman" after calling police."

3. The new chief of police is black, before that Darren Scott was a captain on the Sanford police force were he was a 23-year veteran. The police officer that filed the police report was a minority also. The police spent 7 hours on the crime scene and interviewed 6 witnesses.

4. Thats why the race card is being played now. Jesse Jackson has already played ever angle imaginable based on facts..and came away with nothing.

Well said!
 
Eric Holder on Sharpton:

At the opening of NAN’s 14th annual convention in Washington, D.C., the attorney general first thanked MSNBC’s Rev. Sharpton “for your partnership, your friendship, and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless, and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfill.”
