Related: About this forumTYT: Attorney General Accused of Racism By Zimmerman Family
via Daily Caller: "In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, a family member of George Zimmerman asked the nation's top law enforcement officer why he has chosen to not arrest members of the New Black Panther Party for their rhetoric some of which may fit the federal government's definition of a hate crime throughout the Trayvon Martin case.
The family member believes the reason Holder hasn't made those arrests is because he, like the members of the New Black Panther Party, is black."

He and his family are very white. Spewing racism and bigotry everywhere they go.
Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager for no reasonable cause, big difference here.

deeper for him. I've heard outrageous rhetoric from some of them. Some who haven't seen him in ages. Let the law work.

It's not gonna help Zimmerman deny he shot Martin because he was black.

I'm not sure at what point you can arrest people just for rhetoric.

how fast would the Fox News people turn around and call for his head? They have to keep up that opposition.
