100K FOR ZIMMERMAN BUT CENSORSHIP FOR OPPONENT ON eBay

Something does seem to be seriously amiss with eBay if their censors are allowing some slavery memorabilia and other racist, violently anti-human rights materials to be sold on their site but are removing anti-racist, anti-violent, pro-human rights materials from being auctioned through their auspices.  Is their preventing the anti-gun artwork suggestive of the Zimmerman killing of Trayvon Martin from being sold, while Zimmerman's painting was being sold for over $100,000.00,  just the tip of the iceberg  of a pattern of discriminatory selling?  Is eBay reacting to their own biases as to what is "appropriate" for sale, or are they under pressure from reactionary groups, the NRA, conservative political factions or corporate benefactors to suppress items that have a strong pro-human rights, anti-discrimination message? Our nation has tragically allowed such discrimination in the past, but it needs to become a distant relic solely from the past.  eBay has some explaining to do.
