And before you ask about why I asked if Mr. Zimmerman was Hispanic and not white, the reason I made the distinction on his ethnicity is the issue of white on black crime had come up as being a cause for the huge outcry of rage against him. I had heard him described as Hispanic and in my memory of history, that race had none of the huge footprint of exploitation of the black race that the white race had/has. I don't recall there being Hispanic ships' captains sailing loads of human cargo from Africa to be sold as slaves, Hispanic Ku Klux Klan members, Hispanic nullified juries when a white man was charged with murder of a black one and yet, despite the great weight of evidence against him, would find him innocent, Hispanic business owners who wouldn't seat black families at their restaurants and so on. There may have been some but I think the majority of enslavement and racism perpetrated on the black(& Hispanic) race(s) has been by the white race. So I was making the ethnic distinction solely for that reason.
