walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[ramseycat]

Even if he's not white...whether he's hispanic, bi-racial, or a total mutt, whatever, i think i gotta agree with the family's claim.

IMO Zimmerman considered Martin "REAL suspicious" because he was black. Now MAYBE at first he knew it was someone he didn't recognize as living in the neighborhood (correct me if im wrong but it was trayvon's dad's fiance's house/apt that he was walkin back to, right?) But in no way does that alone justify following the kid, confronting him and putting a bullet in his chest. Especially when he's less than 100 ft from the residence he was headed back to.

Again, agreed. It's racial because Zimmerman is white. If he were black and the boy was white, Z would be in jail already.
