What a guy!
Previously, Zimmerman Sr. believed generally racism was a thing of the past. He says that, personally, he hadnt encountered much racism, even though his wife is Hispanic. But after his son shot and killed Trayvon Martin, however, Zimmerman learned that racism is flourishing at the insistence of some in the African American Community. He then goes on to list various black leaders and organizations that he believes are racist:
Congressional Black Caucus. [A] pathetic, self-serving group of racists advancing their purely racist agenda. He later adds that all members of Congress should be ashamed of the Congressional Black Caucus, as should be their constituents. And finally: They are truly a disgrace to all Americans.
The NAACP. [S]imply promotes racism and hatred for their own, primarily finical, interests and without prejudice and racial divide, the NAACP would simply cease to exist.
NAACP President Benjamin Jealous. [W]hat I would expect of a racist.
Trayvon Martins funeral director. A racial activist and former head of the local NAACP.
Benjamin Crump, Natialie Jackson and Darrly Parks, attorneys for Travyon Martins family. The scheme team.
The National Basketball Players Association.
Black Chamber of Commerce.
National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers.
National Black United Fund.
United Negro College Fund

I'm just sayin'...not cool to be cruel to a defendant's family. They are not on trial.
