I have heard theiries that Trayvon made it almost home and then turned back to confront super wannabe but have never read or heard anything that even remotely proves the hypothesis.
Then you have never listened to his gf's testimony. It's not a hypothesis to anyone that has followed the case.
The fact that you are commenting here without having the basics down is utterly typical for these kinds of threads.
To offsett your rapantly stupidly post, lets discuss why Al Sharpton actually shot TM to frame Zimmerman.
The applicant had no right whatsoever to call himself African American - and nor would a black immigrant from an African country or anywhere else. African Americans are from a distinct American ethnic group with origins in African slavery and the U.S. South. Whites from South Africa who move to the United States are not African Americans. You can call them Africans for all I care, but they are not African Americans, who are of Black African origin.
The college scholarship boards, governmental hiring surveys etc. consider them "black" so why are you racist against africans? Don't wave your hands on this one...there are hundreds of thousands dead in Africa for being the wrong shade of black.

Maybe a refresher is in order before you accuse others of not having the basics. Not really cool to personally attack someone either. I was invited here by a friend but not sure it's such a great board if such attacks are allowed. Do they not allow differing opinions here?

Sorry, but I am not buying into the whole PC thing of calling American born blacks "African-American" for several reasons. First, not all of their ancestors came from Africa. Second not all blacks in America are descended from slaves. So how does one distinguish between the ones you describe vs. other blacks who do not fit your definition?
As an FYI, call several different types of blacks "African-American" and they will get all over you because they are from the islands or from other countries, not Africa.
BTW - What do you call blacks immigrating over from Africa and becoming American citizens today?
More to the point of this thread, what do you consider Zimmerman's race?
White
Brown
Black
Other(please specify)

Actually B-52..This is her full testimony..It's like over 6 hours..so lots to listen to..But since I watch this whole trial..I recall most of it..I found it compelling..but obviously poor Jeantell wasn't received well by the jury after how defence stroked her every teenage fibre to get angry!!
Didn't read the whole thread but this " it was Martin who “put them both in that situation,” when GZ was no longer anywhere around and TM went back looking for GZ and attacked him." is ONLY Zimmerman's story and I totally believe to be a lie. Remember GZ said he couldn't see the lit address on the 1st apartment? He followed Trayvon, not the other way around.
Also about the overcharging. That's not true or a reason to let the child killer off. The jury had many choices, not just murder 1. That trail was like no other I've ever seen, about as crooked as they come. The prosecutors were in on it, or just didn't feel like doing their job.
First of all, it was only a Jury of six and secondly, though photos furthered the assumption that Z "was attacked", it was determined that he was not really in bad shape and didn't was not hospitalized. My theory is that he made those "wounds" on his head himself, knowing that his compulsive move to kill another would have landed him in prison, where he had already spent time for something else and didn't want to go back.
Besides this, why do some overlook the fact that there was no other evidence on him OR TM to support claims of him having "been on the ground on his back, being beaten repeatedly"? Then, he also claimed that T had covered his nose and mouth.. though he was also supposedly the one screaming. Besides this, T was killed within a very short time, which doesn't add up with all the interaction and occurrences that Z claimed happened.
I don't care what the Jury decided...there have existed other poor trials and inaccurate outcomes.

It's all pretty simple, really. Black immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean are Jamaican, or Haitian, or Nigerian, or Ghanaian Americans.
Did you have a problem with the people now known as African Americans being called colored or Negro before modern times?

To my point above. They should get all over you because they're not African Americans.

He doesn't have a racial designation, though he is a mixed-race Hispanic who self-identifies as white.
