USA Today Shows Its Racist Colors

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

The Monday, February 17, 2014 edition of USA Today has a page 3 story on Michael Dunn, a Florida man who killed a teenager in self defense. In the second paragraph, written by Mary Beth Marklein and Rick Neale, Dunn is compared to George Zimmerman thusly: “The mixed verdict also is reviving criticism of Florida’s “stand your ground” self-defense law, and prompting debate over Florida State Attorney Angela Corey’s handling of two high-profile trials, each involving a white man who said he fatally shot a black unarmed teenager in self-defense and was not convicted of murder.”

So now Zimmerman, an Hispanic, has gone from being falsely labeled as a white-Hispanic to being called full on white. And the insinuation is used that Zimmerman’s defense was Florida’s stand your ground law, which he never used.

The lies never stop.
