Mess. I hate that the media deliberately made this a case of racial tension. The deliberate painting of Zimmerman being white and stressing that like there's no tomorrow when he's still half Latino. It's pretty disgusting... I know race was involved, but no one except Zimmerman and Trayvon (RIP) knew what happened that night. I know everyone on here hates the decision, but does no one else see how this literally just causes tension like no tomorrow for no reason? There are many ifs to this case and like I've asked before, I don't think anyone alive except Zimmerman knows how that physical altercation started. The whole case is really sad. Y'all should have known the verdict when they said Martin's parents weren't present for the verdict. :/

Basically, I'm sure this wouldn't be such a mess if the kid was latino. Even though there is a bit of race implied, there is not enough proof to prove that he killed the teen because he was black.

People need to stop pulling the race card all the time.

Most whites don't see white privilege as a problem because they don’t know it exists in the first place. This obliviousness allows them to cruise along and tend to the details of their own lives with only an occasional sense of trouble somewhere “out there" just beyond the fringe of their consciousness. And the lack of awareness also gives them a low tolerance for hearing about the trouble: when the normal state of affairs is silence, any mention of it feels like an imposition.

Ignorance is truly ****ing bliss.

Even in the death of black youth, white people STILL find a way to make the whole damn situation about them and their feelings, this is why I preach and preach and preach and preach and preach about educating black youth on their history and their futures, white youth don't need to know about it because they are not the ones in danger of being murdered in cold blood simply because they were born in a system where white is right under any or all circumstances.

It doesn't bear repeating, but I'm really going to need everyone to read this before they want to whine about "reverse racism" or people "pulling the race card."

Typical ignorance if you don't think race was involved in this. Just because ZImmerman isn't (fully) white doesn't mean he can't be a racist.

Another thing white folks fail to understand is, we as Blacks, CAN'T do the same things you do.

It's perfectly OK for a white kid to walk home in a hoodie, but when it's a Black male? "Oh he's a hoodlum". Black males are depicted as being inherently agressive and violent simply by nature simply because Whites historically have ingrained that typology in society through all sorts of mediums. And it hasn't gone and will NEVER go anywhere.

That's true. A lot of people think that way, sadly. The word "hoodlum" should be used as in direct to any race, not just blacks.

Yes, because you're trying awfully hard to make a superficial point.

You're just going WAY off left base after being called out for you racist (which it IS) remark.

I'm not even denying that the current system is an archaic system based on institutionalized racism and hasn't evolved since roughly the early 20th century. I fully recognize that. The black community is still trying to adjust to the equal rights implemented decades ago. And still that oppression doesn't justify racist sentiments against their oppressors.

Like, get real.

You just keep going.

You don't get it. Calling out the group of people who are happy about this and who defended Zimmerman is NOT racist. You really do not understand what racism is and how it works.

Your warped view of racism is sad and unfortunately something so many people share.

You do realize that one can be simultaneously white and Latino? And it is a racial case because Zimmerman profiled that boy as a threat because he was black and wearing a hooded sweatshirt. Absolutely none of this would have gone down had Zimmerman stayed in his vehicle. Don't criticize the media for bringing attention to the senseless murder of a black teenager by a white man.

Drais.

Decades later and black men are still being hunted and targeted for no reason. Truly terrifying.

White people don't feel afraid around someone who will kill off blacks for them.

....implying ALL white people are like that. That wasn't exclusive to Zimmerman's supporters (unless you need to clarify that). That's a racist generalization, sis.

And like I said before, combating racism with more racism doesn't solve ****.

Not all white people think the same about this case, believe it or not.

Where is the proof? Common sense is not proof, RIP the poor boy but the thing is that a man was considered innocent even though he actually killed someone.

Blacks are profiled all the time stop acting brand new, Trayvon was followed due to the stereotype of black males being up to no good.

But people won't stop stating what you & I both hate. Sometimes people cannot digest the truth because it drags them right out of their fantasy we "all are equal world" and slaps em back into reality. This case had everything to with race but some will play dumb and act like justice was served tonight, because it simply does not apply to them. I mean if the races were reversed I highly doubt them southern mothers would have even thought of letting zimmerman free.

Zimmerman FOLLOWED TM because he was BLACK! He said it himself!
