George Zimmerman’s father lays out long list of foes, calls NAACP, Black Caucus ‘racist’ in e-book

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

The media, the New Black Panthers, the National Basketball Players Association, Eric Holder and Rev. Al Sharpton — even the Florida governor and its attorney general, Pam Bondi, prosecutor Angela Corey and the NAACP — few are spared in a newly-released e-book by Robert Zimmerman Sr. Zimmerman’s eldest son, Robert Zimmerman Jr., confirmed the authenticity of the e-book in a text message to NBC News on Monday.

readers can learn in Florida v. Zimmerman: Uncovering the Malicious Prosecution of my Son, George about what the father of George Zimmerman — charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a crime to which he has pleaded not guilty — calls “misconduct” and the inappropriate charging of his son. The elder Zimmerman even implied that federal resources committed to investigating his son might have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing.

Zimmerman Sr. criticizes the media for the way various outlets have reported the case, including HLN, CNN, NBC and even Fox News, singling out Shepherd Smith, Geraldo Rivera for past reports he found unfavorable toward his son. (George Zimmerman has sued NBC Universal, the parent company of theGrio, for defamation, and NBC Universal has strongly denied these allegations.) He criticizes NBC for providing a platform to Rev. Al Sharpton, who hosts “Politics Nation” on MSNBC and who, as head of the National Action Network, led massive protests in the spring of 2011 demanding George Zimmerman’s arrest.

He is equally unsparing in his criticism of Sanford’s political leaders, including the mayor and city manager, and of Florida’s governor, Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and special prosecutor Angela Corey, who he claims colluded to prosecute George Zimmerman for political reasons. He entitles one chapter “The failed state of Florida.”

But it is his statements about black organizations and, in his words, “racism” by African-Americans, that are the most striking.

Black organizations are ‘the true’ racists

The retired Virginia magistrate, who is white and married to an Hispanic woman, writes that he “believed generally racism was a thing of the past,” but that after the February 26, 2012 shooting, he discovered that racism “is flourishing” and that it is coming from members of the black community who called for George Zimmerman’s arrest last year.

In a chapter called “Who Are The True Racist” [sic], Zimmerman Sr. writes, “Unfortunately, segregation and racism not only exist, but appear to be flourishing at the insistence of some in the African American community. … Today there exist a Black Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers, National Association of Black Journalists, National Black United Fund, United Negro College Fund, and hundreds of other racially identifiable organizations.”

He writes: “Others continually promoting racial hatred and separation are members of the United States Congress,” and writes “The Congressional Black Caucus is a pathetic, self-serving group of racist [sic] caring more about advancing their purely racist agenda than uniting us as Americans.” And he singles out for criticism two of Florida’s three black members of Congress: Rep. Corinne Brown, who represents the Jacksonville area, and Rep. Frederica Wilson, both of whom have been vocal supporters of Martin’s family.

Zimmerman writes that the NAACP “simply promotes racism and hatred for their own, primarily financial, interests” and adds that in his view, “without prejudice and racial divide, the NAACP would simply cease to exist.” He adds that NAACP national president Ben Jealous’ statements regarding the Trayvon Martin shooting were “what I would expect of a racist,” and even has choice words for the funeral director who prepared Martin’s body, calling Richard Kurtz a “racial activist and former head of the local NAACP.” Kurtz told various media outlets last year that in his view, Martin’s body showed “no physical signs like there had been a scuffle [or] there had been a fight.” Kurtz could not be reached for comment.

Reached by phone on Sunday and read the passages in the book related to the NAACP, Sanford NAACP president Turner Clayton told theGrio: “Well that’s just a way of Mr. Zimmerman blowing smoke. Since he knows that his son is guilty, he’s trying to cast the blame on everyone else but where it should be, and that’s him and his son. And you can see from his expression where his son gets his from. We’re not the ones talking about race. That’s coming from him and his side.”

TheGrio reached spokesmen for the NAACP and the CBC, both of whom said their organization had no interest in commenting on the e-book.

I wonder what he thinks of the KKK?

[RGinWA 816]

Awe, how sweet. That should really help GZ's case about it not being racially driven.

That's a supportive family unit he's got there.

I wonder if he'll rail against the Jew's and the Zionist agenda of the Muslim communist President and the diluted purity of the White race? lol

Priceless...

Those would be good God fearing Americans. Duh.

He nailed it

I wonder what he thinks of the KKK?

I am sure like he like most of the white people in this country, despise it

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

OMG! GZ is definitely guilty because his father says these things. I had no idea. Now we do not even need a trial. I hope this will be admitted to court as evidence.

Do you support lynchings of blacks also?

Ok, a father making racist leaning statements has absolutely no bearing on whether his son, who shot a black teenager, could possibly share those same beliefs? The father like son saying is way inaccurate.

Yep, totally helpful to GZ case, keep talking pops.

Racist leaning ? What did he say that is Racist

Racist leaning ? What did he say that is Racist

Maybe I should have used the words "could be construed as racially insensitive".

The reason they have a NAACP is that historically blacks in the US were kind of treated sort of horrible? The whole slavery, KKK, Jim Crow and lynchings and such.

Since it's only been a few decades since segregation was legal I don't think their existence is outdated.

Of course when any oppressed group promotes it's own equality some consider that racism, but I don't think African Americans have been all that equalized at this point.

The Caucasians have their own form of NAACP in America, it's called the Republicans.

There also is that other Aryan organization, the NRA. You can see why they seen to be taking such an interest in making sure Zimmerman walks.
