‘We are outraged and heartbroken over today’s verdict,” NAACP president Benjamin Jealous said in a statement moments after a jury of six women found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
That’s what it has come to for the NAACP. The Zimmerman case wasn’t about due process. It wasn’t about Trayvon Martin’s family having their day in court. The NAACP didn’t care about the trial, it wanted a conviction — and the law be damned. The facts be damned. Justice be damned.
And the NAACP isn’t finished with George Zimmerman. It now wants to deny him one of the most fundamental civil rights we as Americans possess — the right not to be tried a second time for the same crime. “We will pursue civil-rights charges with the Department of Justice,” Jealous added in the post-verdict statement.
So much for the civil rights of another minority. George Zimmerman just happens to be Hispanic. Or “white Hispanic,” as the New York Times described him.
The fact is, if George Zimmerman had been a black man, this case would never have been brought to trial. If George Zimmerman had been black, the NAACP and Al Sharpton would never have marched on Sanford, Fla., and demanded that the state take over the case.

The fact is, George Zimmerman was guilty in the NAACP’s eyes of not being black. That is why he was charged and prosecuted. A young black man was dead on the streets, and a non-black guy killed him. It had to be racism that caused his death. There was no other explanation, and justice had to be exacted.

A comprehensive study by the Justice Department in 2005 should have been a clarion call for the NAACP. It revealed that nearly half of the nation’s murder victims that year were black. Black people accounted for 13 percent of the total U.S. population in 2005, yet they were the victims of 49 percent of all the nation’s murders. And 93 percent of black murder victims were killed by other blacks. That’s 93 percent.
And here’s the most tragic statistic: The majority of those dead black males were between the ages of 17 and 29.
Why aren’t the national media — with the NAACP leading the charge — parked in Chicago right now covering the carnage on that city’s streets? Over the July 4 weekend, the Windy City logged its 200th homicide of the year. During the long weekend alone, 74 people were shot, and twelve of them were killed.Read the full story HERE.

Plus, this new race war provides Obama with another nice little distraction. Most of the things he said yesterday were great. He did point out some glaring and sad realities. But up until now he's been completely silent about all the young black youth being killed by young black youth! So I find it just very opportunistic and cynical. But what else is new.
This thing is getting ridiculous now, though. Martins parents are marching in a protest today? Sheesh. I feel sorry for them.

If George Zimmerman had been a Black man, This story would have been buried with all the other Black on Black homicides and Sharpton and Jackson would still be back IGNORING THE REAL PROBLEM, Black on Black Homicides IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES
Martha, Please tell me you didn't fall for Obama's BS....
That entire speech was designed to keep the outrage going.
Obama said that Trayvon Martin "could have been him 35 years ago."
Shocking admission by Obama that he viciously assaulted complete strangers - mixed martial arts style - when he was a teenager.
Who knew?!?!?
In 2012 Obama gave Romney a hard time for cutting the hair off a classmate when he was in high school.
HYPOCRITE!!!!!
Also a shocking admission by Obama that he called white people "CREEPY-ASS CRACKERS" when he was a teenager, just like Trayvon Martin did.
Well...he did a lot of drugs, like Trayvon did.
Did he assault a bus driver, and steal jewelry, like Trayvon did? Now THAT would be a story.
RW, that is why I said it was a nice little distraction. Of course it was precisely to keep the outrage going! So that the real problems and scandals will continue to be ignored by the media.
Not sure, but I doubt he has much to say about the daily murders of blacks by blacks.
Nothing like a little race war to obscure his real failures as a leader.

I believe Obama wanted an acquittal from the beginning!
I think we all need to refer to our President as a "white black" man just like CNN dubbed Zimmerman. I have heard that Zimmerman is part white, but everyone knows the President is half and half. That's right, so he's a white black man. All Obama's speech was meant to do is to stir up more race problems. He is despicable, and I despise him absolutely.
AZ
AZ. Me too. He is a poster child for corruption and incompetence. He's everything we were warned about and more! Hard to believe he can be worse than we feared, but he is!
