So how about that Zimmerman trial?

This is true. Racism is only top-down and never bottom-up. Thus, in any situation where one racial group has power, they have the potential to be racist (e.g. mexican racism against salvadorans in predominantly mexican neighborhoods). This local context has to be further modified by the global context, in which power is highly concentrated in the hands of - mostly - white men.

Dislike or mistrust of one racial group by another for no reason other than their skin color can be bigotry or prejudice, but if there are other reasons for that dislike or mistrust, such as oppression, this is no longer bigotry or prejudice; it is judice, if you like, or self defense.

Also, there is no such thing as a "race." This is all a non-argument, using nonsense words that mean nothing, perpetuated by bigots.

So the attitudes and threats by blacks in this video are a form of self defense justified by past oppression by whites?

Mmkay.
