********So ends the railroad job they tried to pull on him..let's just see if the riots happen.

*******No riots, but here is an article about the protests that have begun:
*******
*******Look at all the white people!
******
******
******Yeah I see quite a few white people in there.... so??
******This case had noting to do with white people..Zimmerman is not white.. he's Latino. If the blacks were to riot against the whites it would be rather pointless don't you think?

*****Maybe I should have said "look at all the not-black people" - the point being that it's not a sea of black people who are taking to the streets and protesting. Plenty of "lighter" races are clearly unhappy with the verdict.

****"White" and "Latino" are not mutually exclusive. "White" refers to a race (let's leave aside the fact that the concept of "races" is biologically meaningless when it comes to people and is more a sociological construct) and "Latino" refers to ethnicity. As a matter of fact, the idea of "white Hispanics" is unremarkable and is even recognized by the US census.

***except Zimmerman is not a white hispanic, he's of mixed ancestry.

***If he's white then so is Obama.

**Wrong. Did you read what I wrote? Hispanic and white are not mutually exclusive.

*Yes, I did read it and yes, a person can be Hispanic and white but George Zimmerman is not white. He is of Amerindian and black ancestry as well as white.

Of the three, which is predominant? If someone looked at him, knew his name but nothing else about him, and was told, "is this man Amerindian, black, or white," what do you think that person would answer? What would they answer about Obama under the same conditions?
