George Michael Zimmerman was born on October 5, 1983, in Manassas, Virginia,[53] and is the son of Gladys (née Mesa) Zimmerman, who was born in Peru,[2] and Robert Zimmerman, Sr., a retired Virginia magistrate.[54][55] He was raised as a Catholic,[2] in a family that his father has described as "multiracial;" his father is a white American of German descent[56] and his mother is Peruvian with some black ancestry through her Afro-Peruvian maternal grandfather.[2][Note 1]

Zimmerman's voter registration record lists him as Hispanic and a registered Democrat.[57


so, what is race? Is GZ white? hispanic? he could identify as black couldnt he? not as frekin simple as y'all would like it to be, is it?

Hitler was the architect of the Holocaust, which was responsible for the death of millions of Jews. Many believe that Hitler had Jewish ancestry.

Perhaps Zimmerman disliked/disowned his black ancestry, and held anti-black sentiments and exhibited anti-black behavior to repudiate that aspect of his ancestry.

doubtful;

"In early April, an anonymous letter to the NAACP, which was signed "A Concerned Zimmerman Family Member," said Zimmerman had been one of the few to take any action to protest the 2010 beating of Sherman Ware, a black homeless man, by the son of a Sanford police officer. Zimmerman reportedly distributed fliers in the black community trying to get others involved too, and helped organize a January 8, 2011, Sanford City Hall community forum to protest the incident.[309] Zimmerman's father confirmed his son's efforts on Ware's behalf.[310]"

I would like very much to see the evidence you guys have that supports Z being a racist. That's what I thought at first because I was suckered by the media. Since then I have changed my mind because I have not seen one thread of a fact that indicates that to be so.

Also remember, the media made a big deal of the "gated community" a mute acusation to it being an exclusive white haven. well here is the ethnic/racial mix of The Retreat at Twin Lakes :

The population in the development at the time of the shooting, was about 49% non-Hispanic white, 23% Hispanic (of any race), 20% black, and 5% Asian, according to Census figures

THE MEDIA IS PLAYING US................
