Your outrage at their words would be more meaningful if this weren't a thread about a dead boy.

Anyway, it's misdirected angst. You're really upset with the sensationalist media more than black folks. It's important to remember they report in pursuit of ratings and not justice nor to truly inform you.

it's amazing how much underlying racial tension can explode on the basis of a case that really has almost nothing to do with race

fukn fbi can't find evidence zimmerman was racist, his ex-fiancée that filed a restraining order against him says she never heard him say anything racist, he self identifies as hispanic

too many people are way too eager to scream racism. it exists and it's no small potatoes, but it's also not responsible for every injustice visited upon a black person.

and in this instance, even IF zimmerman is a racist and followed trayvon based at least partly on his skin color, it doesn't change the facts of the case at all. you still don't know who started the fight, you still don't know who screamed for help, you still have reasonable doubt as to whether or not zimmerman was acting in self defense

my guess is he was following him not because of his skin colour, but because of the rash of recent break-ins in the neighbourhood perpetrated by kids in hoodies

isn't it already established that trayvon did not live in that neighbourhood? i don't understand what you're trying to say. can you please clarify?

Media is the real problem... They create racism at any opportunity to stir the pot for ratings and a large majority of the population eats it up. I would be glad to see GZ's defamation case against MSNBC succeed since they created this whole mess to begin with.

Everyone in this thread is a fat, neckbeard loser or juvenile, assburger's victim who posts on a Elf simulator website.
