How do you react to “breaking news” such as was presented by the insufferably pompous Piers Morgan of CNN: “… we [now. suddenly] see that George Zimmerman really has significant multiracial, multicultural roots.” (Emphasis added.)
What miracle aid brought about this incisive observation? How was this hopeless lot helped in arriving at the conclusion that the manifestly swarthy Mr. Zimmerman, who looks as if he has Mestizo-Amerindian heritage, is indeed of mixed heritage?
What did the trick was “an exclusive photograph,” which shows Zimmerman’s great-grandfather (a black gentleman), above whom stands Zimmerman’s grandmother (half black), holding Zimmerman’s mother.
“Talking to people that know him, I have changed my position,” revealed CNN super sleuth Mark NeJame. “People can come up with whatever conclusions they want. But from looking at the facts and the evidence, I don’t think there is a racial motive in there.”
On March 30, the article “@Twitter, Trayvon Was ‘NO_LIMIT_NIGA'” stated the facts as sane people saw them:
Martin was a 17-year-old black youth, shot dead last month by a Hispanic man with a Jewish surname. George Zimmerman—who, for the purposes of the “Racism Industrial Complex” is being considered white—was patrolling a Florida gated community, as part of his neighborhood-watch duties.
Cleaving to reality is all it takes. The cretins of cable should try it.
