I can respect your pov even though I don't agree. What irks me most is when people claim they don't understand the charges of racism at all in this case.
Oh you don't see racism at play when; no one did a background check on Zimmerman at the scene of the crime, no tox screen for the shooter, no serious canvassing of the neighborhood (ie... cops assumed Trayvon was an outsider up to no good), no charges laid after a child was shot dead for literally no fucking reason, Zimmerman assaults police/girlfriend/and harrases co-workers but Trayvon (the dead, totally normal kid)is vilified like a monster?
It boggles the mind. In terms of Zimmerman's racism. I agree that it's not necessarily cut-and-dried/easily proven but as a grown black man in running gear who's been followed around in Barnes & Noble by a security guard I probably out-earn by 6+ times.... it doesn't take much imagination to see how racist assumptions led Zimmerman to stalk and ultimately kill this kid.
There is an 80 second gap between Zimmerman hanging up with police and when the shooting took place. Trayvon Martin's girlfriend was on the phone with him until she heard the confrontation begin.
