Why Did NBC Edit The Trayvon Martin 911 Call To Make Zimmerman Appear To Make A Racist Statement? Can DV Call 'em Or Can DV Call 'em?

NBC disclosed today that it will be launching an internal investigation into a segment about the Trayvon Martin case that appeared on the Today show, in which a call between George Zimmerman and a 911 dispatcher prior to Martin's death was edited in such a way that it portrays Zimmerman as a racial profiler. The editorial decision under review involves the removal of the dispatcher's inquiry about the race of the person Zimmerman was following — Martin. Absent that question, Zimmerman's comments get strung together as if he said, in sequence, "This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black."

Cuz otherwise - what actual evidence is there that it was a "racial hate crime???"

As opposed to just a shooting between 2 people?

The very act of singling this shooting out and labeling it "racist" sans evidence - is racist. Yes?

Zimmerman muttered under his breath, "fucking coons, get away with everything." While on the phone with dispatch. In addition, Mr. Trayvon Martin was profiled as a suspicious character prior to his murder by Zimmerman.
If you are trying to portray that Mr. Martin's race had nothing to do with the confrontation between he and Zimmerman, then I say you are passing off the same lie that white supremacy tries to deceive the black populace with, that racism no longer exists in this country. It does exist, still and Mr. Martin's murder is but a microcosm of what goes on routinely. Perhaps it has to touch you personally in a large way for you to understand. That is if you are indeed black.

1) "White supremacy" does not suggest to black people that racism doesn't exist.

2) Just the opposite is true: "White supremacy" requires black people to think "racism exists".

3) "White supremacy" needs black people to think "racism" is an all powerful threat.

4) If Trayvon Martin had been shot by a black kid named Quintavious Butler ... you wouldn't even know his name.

5) If you cannot see that the racial elements of the Trayvon Martin case are being tweaked by the media to exploit the emotional vulnerability black people have to crimes like this ... You Are A Plantation Negro.

6) Plantation Negros are so eager to win the "George Zimmerman" battle they are ready to lose a genocidal war that will cost more black lives than Trayvon Martin.

7) This is chess muhfuggas. Not checkers.

Let the big boys do the thinking.

He sounded like he said on the original 911 tape without low freqs removed:

"these assholes, they always get away"
...
"fucking cold"
"yep, ok"
"George, he ran"
etc.

He certainly never said "fucking coons, get away with everything" in one sentence lol


Listen yourself to the original tape:
