Who Is 'Racist'?

Thomas Sowell

quote:
One of the first things presented in the media was a transcript of a conversation between George Zimmerman and a police dispatcher. The last line in most of the transcripts shown on TV was that of the police dispatcher telling Zimmerman not to continue following Trayvon Martin.

That became the basis of many media criticisms of Zimmerman for continuing to follow him. Only later did I see a transcript of that conversation on the Sean Hannity program that included Zimmerman’s reply to the police dispatcher: “O.K.”  [emphasis added]

Comment:

Zimmerman's acknowledgement of an instruction not to follow Martin doesn't square with I what read about the incident.  It now appears that the charges against Zimmerman have been trumped up completely. Unless some new evidence emerges, it is hard to imagine how this guy can be convicted.  Yet, he may be anyway in order to appease the mob.
