George Zimmerman is not racist towards Black People

Again! !? Freakin'. .. Fine. My opponent has chosen to forfeited R2. I shall answer the Questions I gave him then. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 1- What is the legal definition of Racism: Racism: 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2: racial prejudice or discrimination a) . http://www.merriam-webster.com...... Racism: 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. b) . http://www.thefreedictionary.com...... Using these definitions, we will answer the last questions I asked the Con. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2- Has Zimmerman ever helped out the Black Community? Well to start, let's begin with Sherman Ware. Sherman Ware was a homeless black male who was beaten by the son of a Sanford police officer. (a) Why is this guy important? Because Zimmerman was among the very few who protested for the Police Department to do something. (b) "The letter also described how Zimmerman was one of "very few" in Sanford, Fla. , who spoke out publicly to condemn the "beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. "" The DC a) . http://www.cnn.com...... b) . http://dailycaller.com...... Not only was Zimmerman among the few to act, but he even had to organize the Black Community to act as well. (b) The ironic part is that Zimmerman actually request the NAACP's help with the case and the poor homeless man. .. They turned him down because they didn't have the resources to help. (c, d) He had to do everything on his own for the poor man. Zimmerman held a town meeting where he spoke to the community and the Mayor about this "great injustice" and requested the Police Chief be punished for the hate crime against poor Sherman Ware. (e) "The law is written in black and white," George said. "It should not and cannot be enforced in the gray for those " in the thin blue line. " -The DC c) . http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...... d) . http://www.inquisitr.com...... e) . http://dailycaller.com...... What else has Zimmerman done for the Black Community? He tutored some young black children. Zimmerman volunteered to tutor underprivileged black children,(f,g) and continued to long after the tutoring was supposed to end. f) . http://www.nationalreview.com...... Zimmerman even worked with a black business partner to open up an insurance office. (g) g) . http://www.mercurynews.com...... On a side note, I want to also mention that Zimmerman took a black date to the prom. (h) h) . http://www.examiner.com...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3- In Zimmerman's call to 911, did he voluntarily profile Martin? Well, reviewing Zimmerman's call transcript, we find he didn't bring up Trayvon's race until the Police asked for it. .. Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. .. Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: Ok, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic? Zimmerman: He looks black. Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing? Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He's [unintelligible], he was just staring. .. Dispatcher: OK, he's just walking around the area. .. Zimmerman: . .. looking at all the houses. Looking at the Transcript, race wasn't even involved until the Police requested the information. With this, no evidence for Racial Profiling can be found. a) . http://www.documentcloud.org...... We should have known something was up with the accusation that Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon when NBC had to apologize about an apparently edited audiotape of the 911 call. (b) b) . http://www.washingtonpost.com...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4- In Zimmerman's call to 911, why was Zimmerman suspicious of Martin? Again, returning to the Transcript, we see that Zimmerman was suspicious because Martin looked like he was on drugs or something, and was "looking at all the houses. " This all seemed suspicious after a recent onslaught of break-ins in that neighborhood. (a) Never once does Zimmerman racially profile Martin. Zimmerman didn't find him suspicious because of his color, but because of the circumstance. The Sanford Police Department's lead investigator, Chris Serino, states this exact same conclusion to the FBI. a) . http://www.reuters.com...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowing all this about Zimmerman, does what you see fit the answer to Question 1? The first question was answered with the definition of what Racism is, and the last three questions describe Zimmerman's character. .. The Zimmerman that the answers to Questions 2, 3, and 4 describe does NOT match the definition of a racist that Question 1 gave us. We aren't done, however. One thing we left out is that George Zimmerman voted for Obama in the election. He agreed with Obama's character. He also felt that electing a multi-racial president would set a new standard for racial relations. Zimmerman wanted to see an end to the presidency being only a "Club of White Men. "(a) "As Robert, George"s brother, told me, George is "a registered Democrat. He registered as a Hispanic. He kind of did some internal family campaigning for Obama. " -Ben Shapiro, Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News "George supported Obama, Robert explained, because "He was like many young people who thought that the president"s club had been a club of white men since our founding, and that there really wasn"t a good reason for that. .. "" -Ben Shapiro, Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News a) . http://www.breitbart.com...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- I must also note that making a Racist joke does not make someone Racist anymore than making a joke about Obama means you hate Obama. Actions speak who Zimmerman is, not words made up for laughs, whether appropriate or inappropriate. With this conclusion, I rest my case that Zimmerman is not guilty of being Racist, as the evidence and Zimmerman's character and past does not match the legal definition of Racism. While I have concluded that Zimmerman is not racist, the Voters must still decide. The voters must now decide whether or not what they have learned about Zimmerman matches the legal definition, and if it does not, than the word Racist can not be used to describe Zimmerman.
