walking while black - Trayvon Martin

That's the problem. Blacks may perceive any verdict that is less than 'guilty' as an unjust verdict wether or not it reflects what really happened that night.

I don't expect a big uproar (massive riots or anything) from the black community (unless idiots like Sharpton try to stoke the flames). Beyond his initial profiling, I don't see this as "white guy kills black kid". First, George isn't white which kind of takes the wind out of those sails and second, it hasn't been shown that George was racist.

Finally, I think the time lapse between the event and trial will further diffuse the situation. I may be wrong but that's my guess.
