George Zimmerman Racism Charges False, He Helped Blacks
Before the Trayvon Martin shooting even took place, George Zimmerman was one of the few non-black people that helped protest the beating of a black homeless man by the son of a Sanford police officer that was left unpunished. The twist to this story is that George Zimmerman asked the NAACP in Sanford for help, but he was shot down, claiming they didnt have the resources to help the homeless black man.
So without the help of the NAACP George Zimmerman printed his own fliers and distributed them at black churches in the area. Only after the guilty party turned himself in did the NAACP become involved in negotiating an undisclosed financial reward for the black man George Zimmeran had helped.
In the same time frame George Zimmerman was helping blacks, he was video taped saying, I would just like to state that the law is written in black and white. It should not and cannot be enforced in the gray for those that are in the thin blue line. Ironically, the same police department George Zimmerman protested for racial violence and cover-ups is the police department that investigated Zimmerman after Trayvon Martin. In the end, even the FBI said George Zimmerman is not racist.
