Former Obama advisor Van Jones: Racism won

12:28 AM 07/14/2013

Former Obama adviser Van Jones declared that “racism won” in the trial of George Zimmerman.

“The verdict: racism won. #TrayvonMartin” Jones tweeted in the aftermath of the “not guilty” verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial.

Jones was appointed to Obama’s cabinet in March 2009 as special advisor for green jobs, a newly created position. He is known as the co-founder of the nonprofit progressive advocacy groups Color of Change, which focuses on civil rights, and Green for All, which focuses on the environment.
Colorofchange.org executive director Rashad Robinson released a statement calling the Zimmerman verdict “another tragedy for black families everywhere.”

Colorofchange.org executive director Rashad Robinson released a statement calling the Zimmerman verdict “another tragedy for black families everywhere.”

“A court in Florida today found George Zimmerman not guilty of second degree murder for shooting and killing unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. This is another tragedy for Black families everywhere, and another instance of how law enforcement and our criminal justice system routinely fail Black people and communities. Were it not for Trayvon’s family and countless supporters taking action, Zimmerman would have never faced a single question about his actions at all. Tonight, as George Zimmerman walks away without penalty, the verdict sends a clear message about the minimal value placed on the lives of young Black men and boys everywhere,” Robinson wrote.

I thought they said that five of the women were white and one was hispanic. I can't find where I read that, though.

Maybe someone will come along to your post with a source that points to the official record.

That's what I heard as well, five white, 1 (black) hispanic.
