After watching the Zimmerman trail it seems like the people who can stand their ground is white people. Now white people are now saying that Trayvon should have run away

I think both Zimmerman and Trayvon had a bad case of the dumb *****es. More forgivable for Trayvon because he was a teenager. Zimmerman should have known better. Both exhibited poor judgement.

You sounded like Rachel Jeantel when I read your post, but to answer your question yes. If you do not know, the laws work the same if you are white or black.

Zimmerman isn't claiming SYG as his defense, he's claiming self defense. Everyone, regardless of race is allowed to defend their life against an attacker and everyone is allowed to stand their ground provided that the law allows it like Florida does.

Black people are allowed to stand their ground just like creepy ass crackers are.

I really don't know what the kid could've done besides what he did do. You just can't let people follow you around and then walk up on you in a hostile fashion without protecting yourself.

What's a white Hispanic? Is that anything like a White African-American, you know like our President?
