(150 posts)I don't get this. Zimmerman is not white...he's of course half white. Same as our president. Would the Klan support the president in a murder trial?

(10,237 posts)The OP addresses zimmerman's racism, not his color.
It is possible for non whites to be racists also, even if rush limbooger, hannity, fox, beck and of their ilk don't believe so.
Zimmerman was out hunting blacks, just like the kkk would be proud of doing themselves.

(8,556 posts)That's like saying that NOI or NBP members are 'peers' of the Klan. Both are racist groups that don't like Jews, but I doubt the Klan would have them.
This whole comparison is silly, but since Zimmerman has Latino heritage, probably the closest racist group that could be considered his 'peers' would be Latino street/prison gangs. Unlike the Klan, they are widespread and definitely do 'hunt blacks,' sometimes even as a part of initiation. Plus because of his heritage he would at least have a shot at joining, unlike with the Klan.
BTW for the record I don't think that Latino gangsters are in any way Zimmerman's peers. As weak as that case would be, it's still a better one than is made here.
