I would really like to see how Zimmerman described himself in terms of race in the years before this killing. I may lose the bet but I would bet an ice-cold Yeungling (at Cody's) that Zimmerman classified himself as "White" or "Caucasian" in times before he killed Martin. Any takers?
I am only responding to this post because I am quoted within, but it is being presented completely and totally out of any context.

My post from where this quote was lifted spoke only to the seeds of the media frenzy and reporting...it did not even try, as many do, to address facts being presented at this trial or guilt or innocence.

The quote lifted from my post was an accurate representation of the immediate press coverage, and what piqued the interest of the various civil right activists and various media outlets.
