Hi Lady P - I think they wanted Michael Jackson's glove and his old nose too.
:naughtyThat is what you have DEDUCED from the evidence. The evidence you considered to reach your conclusion has guided many many others to a very different one. You can no more promote your "belief" about Zimmerman not being racially motivated in his actions than I can say that he was. We do not and never will actually know.
Why is this so hard for some people to admit? The FBI investigated.... nothing to do with race. The prosecution in closing arguments said - nothing to do with race. The jurors thought it had nothing to do with race.
You know how DOES think it has something to do with race? Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the rest of the race-baiters in the country. Why on earth would you believe a bunch of hateful opportunists?
:naughty
Wrong!
It is what the evidence says.
The evidence does not say this, or that, could have happened. It said this happened.
He did not act in a racial manner. That is the evidence. Learn it.
What happened to Trayvon had nothing to do with his race, but with his acting out violently.
Don't forget, Arizona Ice Tea and Skittles will want equal billing too.
2. Where on earth would things like this be displayed in the Smithsonian? I can see Jackson's glove being in the "show biz" section, if there is such a thing, but Martin's hoodie?
You are not getting mine.You are just not capable of getting my point.
And an interactive display of his cell phone so everybody can go through his photos' and texts, etc...hey....maybe they can get Trayvon's pot-pipe, screwdriver and the marker he used to vandalize school property to display along side the hoodie?
They're starting an African American History Museum to open next year. It shouldn't have, but the Zimmerman/Martin case did turn into a huge national discussion on race that lasted over a year. It makes sense to me why they want it.
1. Did they get the glove? I assume the doctor kept the old nose in cryogenic storage, just in case... . :lamo

You are confusing issues here. What happens in a court room has to do with determining "based on the law"
does not mean that the facts, testimony and evidence presented isn't real, or only addresses the legal questions.
Trying to hide behind "not guilty doesn't mean innocent" is as dishonest as it gets when it comes to the specific issue of George Zimmerman and racism.
When you look at George Zimmerman's past involvement/interaction with minorities (especially black people) throughout his life, the facts and testimony presented in the trial, and the results of the extensive investigation done by the FBI last August, there is just no way that any fair, honest and reasonably intelligent person could possibly believe that George Zimmerman is a racist, or that his actions the night of the shooting resulted from racist beliefs or from racial hatred.
I could understand you doing so if you had evidence that supported the belief that Zimmerman was a racist.
So what you have done here is to not only pass moral judgment on George Zimmerman
Never made a claimed to know whether he was or was not a racsit nor whether his actions that night were racially motivated.
The Smithsonian periodically has oddball exhibits they stick here and there. Some of it you can miss because it is stuck in a showcase in an intersection or something. It is no different than having most of the stuff they have--just new junk to get people who have stopped coming in to come in again. Archie's chair, Fonzi's jacket--it is all cultural paraphernalia.
A white kid dressed the same way would probably still be alive today.
Yea, of course it is not a big deal. Just another dead black kid.
It's not the bullet, it's the shooter.Martin was a criminal and if that person was White and did the same thing, he would be dead too.
Do you think a bullet would not kill a white guy?

When you think stupid can get any stupider... nature finds a way.:roll:
Given you have REFUSED to show ANYTHING to contradict your hatred of George Zimmerman isn't because he is Latino, your motive for your messages seems clear enough.
SO ONCE AGAIN, to establish what your true motives for your messages are in an apparent intense prejudice against Latinos...
George Zimmerman took an African-American girl to prom, had an African-American business partner, started a petition for an African-American beat up by a white man, did a fund raiser for an African-American church, and has African-American friends and relatives.
UNLESS YOU ARE DELIBERATE AND INCESSANTLY lying to call him racist again African-American due to personal rabid hatred of Latinos, you can easily present FAR MORE involvement you have had with Latinos than he has had with African-Americans.
MANY white people and African-Americans HATE Latinos. In light of this, your messages increasingly are extreme declarations of your racial and ethic bigotry against Latinos. Very disgusting and increasingly fooling no one.
It's not the bullet, it's the shooter.
But you implied it by disputing what someone determined based on what was presented in court and elsewhere. You said that:
What happens in a court room has to do with determining "based on the law"...
...But it does not determine the truth of the details surrounding the case nor does it make moral judgement's. So the verdict does not establish as truth whether or not George Zimmerman was racially motivated
The fact is, there are some aspects that can be determined from a trial which a judgment can be rendered and in the Zimmerman case, the question of racial motivation happens to be one of them. There are a ton of things going back to when he was a child, all the way up to the present day that clearly indicate the man is not a racist and does not harbor any ill will toward black people, or anyone else. Neither the state of Florida, or the FBI could find anything at all indicating that Zimmerman was in any way a racist or embraced any racial hatred or biases.
Based on the FACTS it's very reasonable for a person to assess that Zimmerman is a racist, and what took place that night had nothing to do with racial bias or hatred, and therefore had nothing to do with why Trayvon Martin ended up dead.

If the kid had been white Zimmerman would have left him alone. That's exactly what he should have done, and didn't.So it is your opinión that if a White 17 year old punched Zimmerman in the nose and then tried to kill him, Zimmerman would have thought, "this kid is White so I can't shoot him"
Is that what you are trying to say?
