When did I miss this?

When did hispanics become white? I have not been paying attention to the media over the last week, but re-surfaced to find a hispanic man being labeled as white, and then being called racist. Wow, that took some doing to get there.


Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder what this is going to do to Obama and his popularity with hispanic voters? It is going to be hard to side with hispanics if they are no longer minorities but labelled as majorities. And hispanics make up a large amount of the "minorities".


If you say well, George is white because he is half white- what does that make Barry?


It seems that his campaign jumps out of the frying pan and into the fire time after time. They just don't think things through.

Maybe they figured that they already ticked all the hispanics off by messing with their religion so they had nothing to lose?

Yea I noticed Zimmerman looks about as white as Obama does but calling him a hispanic in not something Obama wants his supporters to do as that, like you said, would put one section of his base against another and he can't afford that. I'm totally surprised he even openned his mouth as he had to know he was pitting one against the other but then he pitted the greens against the Unions with XL Pipeline deal so what does that say for him. After the Cambridge Police beer summit where he voiced his opinion before knowing the facts you would think his advisors would be telling him to keep his big mouth shut but I doubt anyone has ever manage to do that with that ego filled fool. :roll:

I was watching a news clip, a democratic politician ( a black female) was ranting on about ho this couldn't be anything but racism.. and how blacks have suffered centuries of racism at the hands of white people..

at the reporter pointed out that Zimmerman was half hispanic and part of his family was black... her replay.. it don't matter is is still racism.. and she just continued on with her rant...

hopefully the truth comes out... but while we wait..

Please tell Spike Lee, a black Democrat, and the other leftists who've been trying to paint George Zimmerman as a racist white Republican, that Zimmerman's an Hispanic Democrat.
