Not only did they smear Zimmerman during the trial, they continued to smear him after his acquittal, painting him as a domestic abuser and blaming him for a "road rage" incident where he was the victim. The road rage perpetrator, a deranged Democrat fueled by the misleadia propaganda, later attempted to assassinate Zimmerman.

Not just that.

This was the first time I ever heard the media call a brown man a "white Hispanic man" because his father was apparently German.

I sae his pictures and I'm like, "That looks like an average Hispanic looking man"

Alexis Bledel is a 100 percent Hispanic woman - Mexican mum and Argentinian dad - and I've never heard her or Cameron Diaz being called white Hispanics.

Also, for months I thought Trayvon was a little boy and I never understood why Zimmerman shot the little kid and was even more confused as to how the little kid hurt him.

I didnt realise until later that Trayvon was a 6 foot tall man, who was beating the shit out of Zimmerman

I read somewhere--not sure if this is true, because I can't remember the source--that the Martin family copyrighted every picture they had of Trayvon and only allowed the pic of him as a twelve-year-old to be used by the news. I've seen some pics over the years of 17-year-old Trayvon, and he is not somebody I'd like to meet in a dark alley.
