There is already ample evidence that Zimmerman IS a racist. The potential evidence to which Holder refers is that which may or may not establish that Zimerman's >motive< was racism. That is the standard for a federal civil rights case.
"Not a scintilla"? Really? Forty-six calls to 911 reporting suspicious black people -- never ONE suspicious white person -- is not a scintilla? "F*cking coons -- They always get away with it" is not a scintilla? The only scintilla I suspect possibly absent in this equation is your intelligence.
EDIT: Okay, I amend my previous statement: The actual number of calls in which Zimmerman reports "suspicious black males" is six, not forty-six (seven if you count the call he made right before he killed Martin) but what is really fascinating about the call list, he never mentions "black male" in any of the first thirty-five calls THEN almost every call is in regard to a "suspicious black male" INCLUDING a "suspicious black male appx 7 to 8 years old". No, that's not a typo, that's a SEVEN to EIGHT year old >>>SUSPICIOUS BLACK MALE<<< and furthermore, please be sure to notice that in all other reports, he DESCRIBES something "suspicious" about the ACTIVITY while in ALL the "black male" reports, he DESCRIBES NOTHING "suspicious" about any ACTIVITY... other than their presence in his neighborhood of course.
Thanks for the recommendation. Reading the details totally strengthens my case. Zimmerman establishes a clear pattern of a sudden and intense preoccupation with black males... RIGHT BEFORE HE KILLS ONE OF THEM. How many times have you called the police about a "suspicious black male"? Do you think you can easily guess how many times I have?
I live in a community that is probably about 99% white -- and I call the police when I think I observe something of safety concern too so it's not like I'm totally detached, I have an eye out and will notify authorities if I think it appropriate -- and on the rare occasion I might spot a black male walking in my neighborhood (coincidentally it just happened last week -- yeah, it's so rare, I can actually recall each time it happened individually then describe it to you), my reaction is, "Oh my god! We have a black guy!" I am actually excited to see a black male walking in my neighborhood because I figure he probably lives there and that means we're finally integrating and I don't have to be so embarrassed and ashamed of my community any more. What does ZImmerman do just because he sees a black guy walking in his neighborhood? Does he run home all excited to tell his daughter, "Oh my god! You're not going to believe this. I think we have a black guy now!"? NO. Zimmerman calls the police and reports a "suspicious" guy. "Suspicious" how? "Suspicious" activity? "Suspicious" behavior? NOPE, JUST BLACK... and that's suspicious enough. Zimmerman sees a black guy walking in his neighborhood and assumes the guy is in the commission of a crime just because he's walking on the sidewalk and he's black then he pursues the guy WITH A LOADED FIREARM. Do you think there is anything "suspicious" about that? I DO... especially considering his documented history.
The Daily Beast article does not just confirm everything I already concluded, it establishes that I way underestimated the malevolence and racist motivation of Zimmerman. Thanks for that. I am grateful for your assistance.
EDIT 2: Do you have to reprint all of them? No. You only have to reprint the ones in which he reports "SUSPICIOUS BLACK MALE".
EDIT 3: 1) "F*cking coon" and "they always get away with it" comes from Zimmerman's 911 call reporting Martin. 2) "REAL racism"? How much more "real" than assuming a kid is a criminal because is black and walking on the sidewalk then confronting him with a loaded firearm and killing him do you need racism to get in order to recognize it as substantially "real"? I don't need Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to suggest a god damn thing to me to be alarmed and distressed by Zimmerman's conduct. You want to argue with me, argue with me, don't tell me I am incapable of arriving at my own conclusions. Did I suggest that about you? Did I casually dismiss you as a hypnotized zombie repeating something somebody else told you or did I assume you are responsible for your own content then address that content directly? I am responsible for what I say to you, not Al Sharpton, not Jesse Jackson. You want to confront my content, confront me, that is the only chance you will ever have of influencing my position or conclusions. If it is all Al Sharpton's and Jesse Jackson's fault, why are you talking to me about it?
