For the "white" Zimmerman and 100lb weight difference, you don't have to go far. Just the first post in this thread.

Say WHAA?? I looked at the first post; neither one is mentioned. I also checked the link I had put up; neither is mentioned there, either. Dunno what you mean by this.

How soon they forget.

The link was to the ""Racism is dead in America" Bullshit" thread, and for some reason didn't work.

the first post contained this:

Trayvon a 17 year old African American boy was shot in a gated community where his father lives in Florida. He was shot by a self-appointed White Community Watch Captain who was walking around with a gun. Zimmerman the community watch person decided Trayvon looked suspicious. All the boy had was candy and a drink. He was not bothering anyone. He was simply walking from the store to his father's house. So we have to ask ourselves what about the boy made him "look" suspicious? Zimmerman approached the boy after calling the police and the police telling him not to follow the boy.

Disregarding the police Zimmerman approached the boy with a gun and the boy attempted to defend himself. Now Zimmerman who weighed about 100 pounds more than the boy and had a gun is claimng self defense. He shot and killed this innocent boy. The police have not arrested Zimmerman because they claim there is no evidence or witness to counter his claim of self defense. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-761553?hpt=hp_bn2

Note the stuff I underlined. You posted it. Strange you don't remember it.



ETA: Anyone have any idea why this link won't work?

That's because you, and many others, reacted to the "erroneous" information blasted out by the MSM that Zimmerman was White, and that he was much bigger than Martin.

If the original story had been "Hispanic Neighborhood watch volunteer erroneously suspects Black youth. Bad judgement and misunderstanding cause shooting tragedy." would folks be so up in arms?

Congresswoman Corine Brown , from Jacksonville, FL, said Trayvon was hunted down and killed like " a rabid dog ".

Do you have any evidence to back up that assertion?

---

It was Dem Rep. Frederica Wilson, not Brown. I had only heard the audio, and confused Brown with Wilson.

"Trayvon Martin's murderer is still at large. It's been one month, thirty days, with no arrest. I want America to see this sweet young boy who was hunted down like a dog, shot in the street, and his killer is still at large. "

Nope. It could be either way, or something else entirely.

But that headline could have been just as likely as something along the lines of "White neighborhood watch guns down much smaller Black teen." The media chooses what aspects they'll play up and which they'll soft-pedal.
