Was he black?

I disagree, I think GZ profiled him because Trayvon Martin was black.

You are entitled to that belief, in my view you are ignoring the evidence that it was rainy out during the early evening, Trayvon was wearing a hoodie and GZ saw him from inside of his car. If you want to imply that GZ assumed Trayvon was black and that's why he profiled him that's one thing, but to imply that he knew Trayvon was black and that's the reason he did what he did was another thing entirely.

and even if he didn't, the result of what happened was, just another black murdered because someone thought he was a criminal.

and that shit makes people upset because it happens all the time

because everyone's got a little racism in them.

I still think you are concentrating on a small part of a bigger problem. Look at what I'm responding to right here, replace 'another black' with 'another poor person' and replace 'racism' with 'classism' and you're addressing the source of the problem.

That last bit is the issue that is the problem and more importantly the subject that you want to discuss. People seem to think that there is no such thing as racism and it never plays a part in anything. So, people argue, it turns into this big click fest on the internet, and everyone makes a ton of money from advertising. So the media pushes the issue and tries to throw gas on the fire.

Having an open mind and not immediately jumping to the conclusion that an altercation was motivated by race is not the same as "thinking that there is no such thing as racism and it never plays a part in anything". This is the kind of thing that makes you sound like the SJWs that keep ruining everything they are fighting for. I know that you don't want to be that guy and that is why I'm trying to explain to you the dangerous ground that you are treading upon.
