Can you post where you got this from or where it can be validated? If I can validate it I would love to re-post it.

And they're calling Zimmerman white. He appears Hispanic and I believe he self-identified that way too.

both images of zimmerman are confirmed. the bottom image presented as martin is in dispute.

I believe Zimmerman is described in the media as White-Hispanic.

Not the media I'm listening too. When they mention race, he's white.

the bird-flipping pic is not the trayvon martin in question. this one lives in kentucky. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001791912868

who would have guess there would be 2 people named trayvon, let alone 2 of them with the same last name?

I don't get why Zimmerman's race is of any importance. He clearly held a prejudice against blacks, regardless of what race he identifies with.

I think I heard on the radio today that Zimmerman actually tutored poor black kids for free on the weekends occasionally. I'm not sure if that means he's racist. Regardless, this should have been a local story, not a national one. And I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm even bothering to comment.

The Trayvon Martian on the bottom is a different boy of the same name in Georgia who is alive and well.

Zimmerman's race matters because if he's something other than "white", Sharpton/Jackson/Farrakhan and Lee won't be able to gin up the appropriate amount of racial discord.

I agree with Loki. If Zimmerman had been black, this would not have even made the local news.

The guy is mexican and cuban. I mean apparently where I come from (about 30mins from where the shooting occured) if you're a minority you dont count as a racist.

Here, however, is a relatively recent picture where Trayvon is flipping the bird:
