If George Zimmerman had been an African American this would have never made the national news coverage it received. It's really a race issue that's being exploited.

Are you implying the media manipulated ALL these people because they don't have the capacity to think for themselves, or could it be that they see this through a set of eyes and experiences that some whites simply don't have?
By the way, for those that insist that Hispanic is a race I guess because they don't "appear" white to you, understand that they can be capable of racial profiling too.

Tell CNN Hispanic is not a race.......
CNN is trying its hand at anthropology.
In a case that highlights continuing confusion over how to define Latino ethnicity, the television news network has set off a controversy over its continued use of the term “white Hispanic” to describe George Zimmerman, the man whose killing of unarmed, black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin set off a national debate about the persistence and nature of racism.
It’s an issue that’s simmered for as long as the Trayvon Martin case has been in the national spotlight. It reemerged on Thursday, when conservative news site Breitbart took CNN to task over its terminology.
By labeling Zimmerman a "white Hispanic," they serve their obvious political bias, but also they cynically serve their financial interests by keeping the race angle as part of the story's subtext.
Interestingly, CNN never referred to their former host, Rick Sanchez, as a "white Hispanic." Wonder why.

Wow - does that mean we actually have a "white black" President?

They live in a country replete with unfortunate coincidental events which disproportionately effect them but have nothing to do with race, because it's never about race, as the wingnuts are kind enough to constantly remind us.

Well we could call him a black Caucasian also.
But I think he'd cry about being called that too.

He refers to himself as a black man rather than biracial.
