(CNN) -- George Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, had a "little hero complex" but was not a racist, a Sanford, Florida, homicide investigator told federal agents, according to reports released Thursday.

In an interview with FBI agents in March, investigator Chris Serino told authorities he "believed that Zimmerman's actions were not based on Martin's skin color, rather based on his attire, the total circumstances of the encounter and the previous burglary suspects in the community," according to an FBI report.

The reports and other information in the case against Zimmerman were released Thursday by Special Prosecutor Angela Corey to Zimmerman's attorney.

The U.S. Department of Justice took up a civil rights investigation after allegations that race played a part in the killing of Martin, 17, in February in a gated community in Sanford, Florida. The reports released Thursday do not draw conclusions in that investigation.

really

one person said it and the "argument" is now gone?

[OzmO]

Yeah that's kind of weak, but on the other hand what evidence is there that Zimmerman is a racist

[Dos Equis]

None.  The only evidence so far shows he isn't a racist.  The investigator interviewed a number of people and apparently they all said the same thing, including the ex-girlfriend who accused him of abuse.  

[MCWAY]

Since Zimmerman's maternal grandfather is blac, wouldn't this be an alleged brown-on-black crime?

So, there's really nothing to see, here.

there is a guy he worked with who filed a complaint with their employer after being harassed by Zimmerman for his race

he profiled trayvon - in his own words, he said these little assholes and punks that broke into my house.

I dont think it had to with race, i think it had to do with him being a young thug punk kid, and that could be any color.  I think ZImmerman would have acted the exat same with a white kid in a hoodie, if he believed a teenage white kid with a hoodie was the one who robbed his ass.

What race are you?  
I want to know what kind of racist I am when I report a limp-wristed skinny-fat man taking naked pictures with his glock and muttering "I'm a libertarian" while spreading the gospel of Obama to anyone that will listen for blatant misrepresentation of political affiliation and it ends up being our own Rob@300website.obamaslurp.gag a.k.a 240 or bassist.

It doesn't matter.  After his money stunt, he's basically lost all credibility in the public eye....if he's still dumb enough to take this to court, he'll be convicted

Zimmerman called a black man a 'baboon' today. 

There goes your argument.

[Straw Man]

Someone told me David Duke is not a racist so I guess that settles it

Well, if Trump/Jeb doesn't work at a ticket, there's always Duke/Zimmerman 2016 for them.

[Straw Man]

Duke recently endorsed Trump

That's probably a dream ticket for some Repubs and that leaves Zimmerman available as Secretary of Defense

I think you guys are spending way too much time parsing as to whether Zimmerdumb is a racist or not.....a kid was walking down the street, minding his business and wound up acosted for no reasion and then wound up dead....take race out of it.....it was dead wrong what Zimmerdumb did...

I wonder how you guys would honestly feel if your kid was walking down the street minding his own business, and I stopped him, made an accusation that wasn't true, then shot him when the kid got scared and fought back....

AMAZING

I don't know that zimmerman follows a white kid under the same circumstances... particuarly in light of the FACT that zimmerman considers african-americans to be BABOONS, and not humans.

He is racist, and those who said he wasn't can no longer make that argument.  All of the "almost" racist shady shit he's been saying and winking... well, he made it clear now.

There goes your argument.

He called him an "ignorant baboon."  Big friggin deal.  And no, that doesn't make the man a racist.   

[TuHolmes]

He called him an "ignorant baboon."  Big friggin deal.  And no, that doesn't make the man a racist.   

Yeah, it does.

No one ever called a white man a monkey or a baboon.

[Dos Equis]

Yeah, it does.

No one ever called a white man a monkey or a baboon.

Nah.  One comment by a person doesn't make them a racist. 

And I've heard people call a white man a monkey before.  I've called people trained monkeys before, the MSM in particular.   

[TuHolmes]

I have never heard it, nor would I call anyone a monkey.

9 out of 10 times it's in reference to a black person.

Look at the things 333386 (Soul Crusher) used to post around here.

Photoshops of the Obamas next to monkeys or with them.

Never saw anyone do that to a white person.

[240 is Back]

Nah.  One comment by a person doesn't make them a racist.   

I'm pretty sure it does.   And when you toss in all the other hinting-at-racist shit that zimmerman's been doing, well, this one just solidifies what everyone already knew.

it's gotta suck to look in the mirror and say to yourself "it's okay that zimmerman uses those kinds of words".  In your eyes, you see the tremble, the sadness.  If only there were more heroes, more reagans.

I agree it's often used as a racial epithet, but I'm not going to say "No one ever called a white man a monkey or a baboon."  That's an overstatement. 

It's also an overstatement to say that anyone who makes a racist comment is actually a racist.  They probably are, but not always.

Possibly an overstatement, but if you were to make a wager as to the odds of someone calling a white person a monkey or a baboon, the odds would be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY low.

You know this.

[Straw Man]

No one is doubting that David Duke is a racist and apparently something or many things that Trump has said is resonating with Duke,

I wonder what that could be?
