George Zimmerman’s Father Says The ‘True Racists’ Are African-American

As the murder trial for George Zimmerman begins, his father has released an emotional and highly unusual e-book, publicly opining on all aspects of the case. The book by Robert Zimmerman Sr., called “Florida v. Zimmerman: Uncovering the Malicious Prosecution of my Son, George” was released today on Amazon.

The most striking chapter is called “Who Are The True Racists,” an apparent effort to rebut claims that his son’s actions were racially motivated.

Congressional Black Caucus. “[A] pathetic, self-serving group of racists… advancing their purely racist agenda.” He later adds that “all members of Congress should be ashamed of the Congressional Black Caucus, as should be their constituents.” And finally: “They are truly a disgrace to all Americans.”

The NAACP. “[S]imply promotes racism and hatred for their own, primarily finical, interests” and “without prejudice and racial divide, the NAACP would simply cease to exist.”

NAACP President Benjamin Jealous. “[W]hat I would expect of a racist.”

Trayvon Martin’s funeral director. A “racial activist and former head of the local NAACP.”

Benjamin Crump, Natialie Jackson and Darrly Parks, attorneys for Travyon Martin’s family. “The scheme team.”

The National Basketball Players Association.

Black Chamber of Commerce.

National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers.

National Black United Fund.

United Negro College Fund....




I'm beginning to understand the concept of fruit not falling too far from the tree...

1. Either the defense team

failed to explain to these people the whole concept of laying low or they really are whacked out enough to think this was a good game plan.

Either way it continues to show the whole family is a bunch of racist pricks. Fuck George Zimmerman.

13. He isn't any different than many of my neighbors.

This is Seminole County. Land of the goons.

18. Mom is in St Pete

dad's in Miami I don't go further north of Tampa.

20. Central Florida is in desparate need of a federal investigation.

I'm just say'n.

[DevonRex]

23. No. The father did this at this exact time to exclude the last 4 black jurors Monday.

They want an all white jury. They'll say there's no way the African American jury prospects didn't hear about this over 2 whole days. It's deliberate and sickening. Not saying the attorney put him up to it. It's just my opinion. But The elder Zimmerman is not a stupid man, no matter how he sounds. Racist, hell yes. Stupid, hell no. Biggest misconception is that they go together. Racism and hate go together.

2. So did the father explain why Zimmerman singled out Trayvon? Because, all I have read

is that he was walking down a street. Seems like there must have been something else about Trayvon that caught his attention. What else could that be?

[csziggy]

17. Trayvon dared to look at GZ - and he had something in his hand

Seriously, on GZ's call to Sanford PD those seemed to be the things GZ was worried about. Aside, of course, from the fact that Trayvon was actually walking through GZ's neighborhood.

Walking While Black - a serious crime in many parts of the South when done in certain areas.

3. And there you have it. The deep seated reason Zimmerman the son is also a racist.

[BainsBane]

4. That's like women and feminists are the real sexists

Familiar story for maintaining privilege.

[Nay]

7. Yup. It's all the victims' fault, all the time. If we didn't have such provoking behaviors (like

walking home at night), we'd be OK.

[BainsBane]

9. wrong place

5. I hope his son rots in prison forever.

Amazon should be ashamed to carry such a racist POS ebook...is this charlatan selling this book?

11. they're members of Congress. They aren't all national heroes. that's for damn sure.

simply being a democratic member of Congress and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus does NOT make one a national hero and some of those folks are far from being heroes.

[graham4anything]

14. are you saying John Lewis and Elijah Cummings among many others are NOT national heroes?

and every single person on this list is in PUBLIC service. NOT private sector, not making millions or bloviating in the media,
every single one of these people are doing something for the public good.

And the nerve of the father of a cowardly cold blooded killer to call these people vile names.(though I guess mass terrorists parents in the past have done similar things too).

One things is for sure, all of the people on this list did not hunt down an innocent person and shoot them in cold blood like
Zimmy from Florida did with his LEGAL gun and bullet in a world where someone who was NOT qualified to be a police man
was able to LEGALLY get a gun and conceal and carry it and after being warned not to go after someone and leave it alone,
he hunted and tracked and killed Mr. Martin.

and now the father is pitching a book and making money off it.

The father should should say those words to the judge and jury in front of the judge under oath, on national television during the trial as a witness for his son. And make sure they hand out 12 barf bags to the jury.

[cali]

15. no I'm not saying that John Lewis isn't a hero. He is. I"m saying that not all the people

who are on that list are national heroes as you claim.

[treestar]

8. White racists say this all the time

It is the most amazing projection ever.

They simply pretend not to know the reason why an organization like UNCF had to exist. They like to pretend there has been equality all along.

Next step, they find a Clarence Thomas or Herman Cain to agree with them.

Never fails.

[BainsBane]

10. Also known as

How to raise a son who shoots random black teenagers on the street.

[Wait Wut]

12. He's right.

It was obvious from the beginning that Trayvon was walking down the street and said to the person on the phone, "I see some white guy. I'm going to make him look at me, a young black man in a hoodie and chase me down because I hate white people."

That's totally what happened.

[Jenoch]

16. I do not know Florida law, but I believe

Zimmerman is guilty of at least manslaughter. He put himself into that situation. I do not know for sure that he is a racist. I wonder what he would have done if he saw any young man in a hoodie at that location and at that time of night?

[DevonRex]

19. This is a deliberate attempt to get an all white jury.

There are only 4 African Americans left in the group asked to come back Monday. This is how they'll try to disqualify all of them.

[malaise]

21. THen he doesn't know the meaning of the concept racism

No wonder his son is so stupid

[loyalsister]

22. "I didn't say "black!"

therefore I'm not a racist said one defending himself in an argument I had recently.
I thought that thinking the word that African American people often feel comfortable with is negative- the word I happened "black" to be using, that he was the racist.

[Gman]

24. Just more poison for the jury pool

That's all it is.

[pokerfan]

25. and blames the Boston bombings on Holder’s decision to investigate Trayvon’s death

Zimmerman directs most of the blame to Attorney General Eric Holder, who he says “shamelessly” hyped his son’s alleged murder case “to obtain great advantage in the African-American community.” He goes on to claim that Holder’s decision to investigate whether Martin’s death constituted a federal civil rights violation led to the FBI to not have “adequate resources to investigate clearly identified potential terrorist” threat in Boston. “Tragically,” Zimmerman writes, “we have suffered the consequences of Mr. Holder’s politically motivated decisions.”

[SummerSnow]

26. Wow...

And he thinks that statement will help his son? The jury will believe he taught him that.

[rhett o rick]

27. Ohoh. That's not going to make Zim's life in prison any easier. nm
