'President' Obama personally addressed the Treyvon Miller shooting controversy this morning, but just four days earlier, the White House was taking a different position.

When reporters asked on Monday about the president's response to controversy, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded that the president was aware of the issue and reminded reporters that the local FBI office was monitoring the situation.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Trayvon Martin’s family, but obviously we’re not going to wade into a local law enforcement matter," Carney said. "I would refer you to the Justice Department and to local law enforcement at this point."

Today, Obama addressed the case in detail, empathizing personally with the parents of the victim.

"If I had a son he would have looked like Treyvon," Obama said shortly, addressing the victim's parents. "I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness that this deserves and that we're going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened."

George Zimmerman, of Caucasian and Hispanic descent, shot and killed the 17-year-old African American
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/318716/20120323/george-zimmerman-florida-shooting-trayvon-martin.htm

Hispanic must mean Mexican.



Every day in the US white people are murdered, raped, and beaten from black perpetrators. In almost all cases, there is little to no media coverage. So why is there so much coverage about a neighborhood watch captain shooting a 17-year-old teen. A search on google shows all the major cable news outlets, all the major websites, and hundreds of newspaper aggressively promoting the story from the point of view of the grieving family of the deceased. This is Agitation Propaganda (agitprop) 101.

There is definitely one detail the media is playing fast and loose with. The man fired the gun is universally described as “white.” The media wants him to be white. Having a white shooter fits their political agenda. Most media outlets are not showing his picture, even though a picture is available. All you hear and see is “George Zimmerman, white man!” What they aren’t telling you is the mother of Zimmerman is a Latino immigrant.

Robert Zimmerman, the father, told the Orlando Sentinal “George Zimmerman is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family.”

Barack Obama also has one white parent. The media never calls him a “white man




TONYSOPRANO Says:
No one noticed that zimmerman is a common Jewish name.So in fact george zimmerman has no white ancestry what so ever according to mike wallace who is jewish but denies being white.

'Hispanic' is a sort of made up general term for Spanish speaking people in the USA.

Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and especially Cubans are a wide variety of peoples. Many Cubans are white, eg; Fidel Castro. There are some white Mexicans these are the rich ones, for the most part still living in Mexico, and not the Spanish-native mixed people flooding into the US.

He's definitely not white in the sense that we think if it around here. Or white at all, for that matter. ;)

My initial reaction regarding the PC outcry when I saw his picture was "at least he's not white".

I read that his father is white (Zimmerman is a German name--carpeneter, I believe) and that his mother is 'Hispanic', which of course could mean many different things.

To my eyes, he looks Central or South American--the Amerind influence is clear. He's not the whitey that the media likes to bludgeon in times like these though--meaning he's not WASPy looking by any stretch of the imagination.

Let's not kid ourselves, these people would not be white anywhere. They are obviously mixed. Being white has much more to do with facial features and hair texture than skin shade.

What I was saying is that there is a different definition of white among Latin Americans. White Americans of western European ancestry would not consider them white but Hispanics would. And there are plenty of 'white Cubans' who look just as mixed.

I disagree with that. Cuba has the strictest definition of White in Latin America. That kid would be called "Mullato" by White Cubans. Most White Cubans are as genetically and phenotypically European as White Americans. But look non "White" to your eyes because most are more Mediterrnean looking than the average White American.

It doesn't matter what he would be called in Europe. It matters here--and, it matters only because certain people want to paint him as 'white' when in actuality, he is not. Not in the sense of the founding white American stock that is from NW Europe and Protestant. If the media hadn't been trying to call him white, we who are, wouldn't have to be saying otherwise.

But yes, you have a point. Your point is very similar to the one which says that this guy is French:

He's been in the news a lot in the US. He shot a black guy and this has caused a great deal of racial and political tension, with the media fanning the flames. George is clearly Hispanic of some sort, and probably mixed race, yet those on the Left are claiming he's white in order to drum up black/white racial tensions during an election year. He appears mostly Amerindian to me, but I'm no expert on these matters. I think one of his parents is from Peru.

Would appreciate your thoughts as to his racial makeup.

Sorry, these are the only two photos I can find of him.

I heard that he is half Finnish from his fathers side and half Peruvian on his mothers.It amazes me how the mainstream media is attacking him for defending himself and labeling him a white man? He is a good man and he needs to be rewarded for his duty. :)

He doesn't look much different then the mixed Anglos here.

I read he was conscious about being white when he was younger (lol?)

If he had a Cowboy Hat on or grew out his hair, he would be deemed White (Anglo)

Not really, Mexican mestizos are known to wear cowboy hats and attires similar to anglos from texas. People would think he is a mexican :lol:

He's the hero Florida deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A neighbourhood watchman.

LMAO. I remember him. He's likely Tri-racial in ancestry but looks Mestizo to me. I remembered people saying he was "white" or a "white Latino". Is it because of the German surname he got from his German American father? The dude's only half Latino but people seem to completely ignore/forget his other ancestry. I also don't see why he looks "white", he has obvious Native/Mestizo features.

Aside from the socially constructed nature of "race", USA's definition of "race" is designed to make sure that the "white" numbers are kept up the maximum. USA will gladly consider Latinos of European ancestry to be "white" and Latinos of African ancestry to be "black", but they don't consider the Mestizo/Native Latinos to be "Native American" and there is no specific option for them. That's why USA claims there are "only" 3-5 million Americans of partial or full Native American ancestry. Because they exclude the majority of Latino Americans, who are usually of Mestizo and or predominant Native background. Because of that, I have seen Mestizo/Native looking Latinos being identified as being "white" because they don't have their own specific option in the Census and if they have light skin, then well....

I'm also not really shocked at all the ignorance surrounding this guys "race". USA's the same country that says that "Asian" is a "race" and that only Orientals are "Asian" when they're not a "race" but a continent/region. A blonde hair, blue eyed Jew from Israel is Asian, but I have seen people who will write articles and debate with you on why you're "wrong". Furthermore, the census also says that Americans with North African and West Asian ancestry aren't African and or Asian, but rather "white". This was done to help keep the "white" population up. Socially though, being of European ancestry is what people consider to be "white" and the people from latter two areas are "brown"/"other", with the census getting "extra" options a few years back.

I think he's only considered "white" because he shot a black/African American. Because "only" white people do that. If he had a different surname instead of the one he got from his German American father, I'm sure people would say he wasn't "white" or that he was "mixed".
