Not all race-mongers are members of the Klan or fans of Al Sharpton. Some of them write for the New York Times. The Times created the racist narrative that turned this case from a local tragedy into a national flashpoint. It went so far as to invent a unique new identifier for Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic,” with the accent on white, for no other purpose than to inflame black people. The rest of the MSM dutifully followed suit.
When the media’s race baiting finally became just a bit too obvious even for them, they changed Zimmerman’s moniker to a “self-identified Hispanic,” as if he was a fool for considering himself anything other than just another vicious white guy with a gun.
Yellow journalism has become mainstream.
As Juan Williams (no fan of Zimmerman) recently wrote as this case went to the jury: “Whatever the final verdict on Zimmerman, the media is clearly guilty of playing on the most primitive racial divisions in our society to fuel racial animosity and boost ratings.” The question is, will they ever be brought to account for it?
