“Racist and Proud” sign wrongly used to show Zimmerman supporters are racist

Breitbart managed to get a short interview with a woman who held a ‘We’re racist and proud’ sign as she stood among the ‘justice for Trayvon’ supporters. Apparently the media, including the New York Daily News, the UK Daily Mail, and Democratic strategist Tara Dowdell on Hannity, saw this sign and used it to suggest that some George Zimmerman supporters were racist. But she wasn’t a George Zimmerman supporter at all and as the interview points out below she was using sarcasm to make her point:

Breitbart News: What does your sign mean?

Woman: This sign means that there are people here who are racist and apparently think that’s OK. I’m not one of them. I’m being sarcastic.

Breitbart News: OK.

Fellow anti-Zimmerman Protestor: Yo. What she said.

While I think she needs to learn how to do sarcasm better, it’s clear her intentions were sarcasm.

And once again the truth only gets out thanks to new media.

UPDATE: I mixed up a couple of details the first time I published it. The current article is now accurate.
