I said this from jump, the reason Zimmerman, "profiled" Trayvon was not simply because he was Black but because Blacks were robbing people in his neighborhood and he did not live there.
George Zimmerman: Prelude to a shooting | Reuters

Quote:
A criminal justice student who aspired to become a judge, Zimmerman also concerned himself with the safety of his neighbors after a series of break-ins committed by young African-American men.

Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.

"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin.
"
Also note the racial intimidation Sharpton has helped to put into place. A Black woman scared to be identified for speaking the truth because of the backlash she anticipates.

Dude, why even bother. We have thousands of posts of people that want Zimmerman murdered, regardless of his injuries, who started the fight, or if he shot to save his own life. Evidence and facts be damned. Yet when a black man murders a mentally handicapped white man while he's walking his dog, and does so from the safety of his vehicle...not a peep. No hyprocasy involved, nope, none.

The truth must come to light. That's what I'm working towards. The race pimps and their followers don't sway me.

So what if 10 black "boys" rob in the neighborhood, does that mean the 11th is a criminal too?

LOL. Actually it's the opposite, I love myself too much to compromise my beliefs and ethics to try and get in with people who happen to share the same skin color. It's called integrity, you should familiarize yourself with the term.

Oh and although Black I'm not African- American so I don't see a need to stand in solidarity with you all.

Yeah, I read it, but that still doesnt explain why there arent any robberies reported in the last year there in the Sentinel archives.
