Racism is a horrible thing and hopefully what happened is a wake up call to everyone. GZ did profile a young black man. The words of the president were awesome in his latest speech - no notes, from the heart. Even many conservatives are calling it a great speech.
With that being said, as a nation, we HAVE to let this go. It has brought the problems of America to the forefront, but it's time to let this thing rest.
There is no proof that Zimmerman was guilty of "racial profiling". It escapes me exactly what the protester want, since the court has already given "justice" through the judiciary process. The FBI investigated and found no racial profiling, as did the Florida state court. When the DOJ finishes its circus, will the protesters be satisfied. No.
Seems the protesters will protest until they get a verdict they want. Sorry,...that's no the way our judicial process works.

No he didn't profile the boy, it was freakin dark, the kid had on a hoodie....GZ didn't know who he was, what color he was.....he was tailing someone who was walking in and out from between homes, and the president is an idot for getting involved....surely was not professional in the least...he shouldn't be commenting on something like this....
for God's sake, how many blacks are shot each and every day but nothing is said about....
Where is the proof that GZ profiled him, the 911 telephone woman asked him if the boy was black, and GZ said yes....
So, from now on, if someone runs down another person, and the cop puts out an APB, on the driver and says it's a black many mid 30's that is racist?????? Give me a break.....
and the only reason Obama is commenting is for political reasons, period....
I'd have had much more respect for him if he'd have kept his mouth shut and/or said something like, this business of racial profiling allegations has to stop....doesn't matter what color his skin is, what matters is a young man is dead...how many whites get killed every day? No one says anything about that, do they?
I'm sick of this bull about racists, etc....the more you force this down people's throats the more it is kept alive.
I'm very very very sorry Trayvon is gone...sorry for his parents....but if Trayvon had been white, the boy would be gone as well....and if people refuse to admit that...then all this racist business will be kept alive, by you and by everyone else....who insists, GZ saw a black boy and shot him cuz he hates blacks....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If everyone would just simply respect each and every individual that we encounter without prejudging each other based on assumptions then we would ALL be alright.
Looks like people are suffering de-evolution. Wild..."Those who forget the past and their history are doomed to repeat it" Looks like those that are younger are similar to secularist young Jews who think the holocaust was just some story out of a book and not real. What's wrong with America these days. It is not about race - this is all due to the general degrading of human intelligence.

that is right, it is NOT about Race, and when people stop with this BS, things might get better....
I just wish people would let this rest the man was found not guilty . So what you dont like it , there is nothing any of us can do to overturn the verdict . everyone needs to go home and shut up especially the Rev . Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton . How those two are not in jail for inciting a riot or inciting to riot is beyond me other than the fact that they have money . Besides a real man of the cloth does not incite to riot or spread hate .
Couldn't have said it any better.......are people this messed up in their own lives they're living their pain and troubles through Trayvon, Jackson and Sharpton. I do think Jackson and Sharpton always wished they had the same appeal as MLK.......they ate race baiters.

If Jesus could show righteous indignation with the Money changers in the temple...why cant anyone else show righteous indignation?

The operator asked a question GZ answered it........he had also called in white people, during his time doing security, is that profiling also?

yeah well, he didn't harp on it and kick the dog, over and over again until it was dead???????
again, how many whites, russians, jews, hispanics are shot every single day in the U.S. and nothing is said about that?????? Geeze Louise, you people are really really really sick...what it is going to take is for you all to shut your mouths and move forward....instead of keepin this thing, keepin on....
????
How bout the children that are shot each and every day in the inner cites...no one is protesting those murders? How come?

They do want to hope the masses don't get it the jury made the decision and we all must deal with it. Although OJ was found not guilty his guilty life has led him where he is today. If GZ is guilty, I do believe karma has it's way otherwise.......... the man has the right to get on with his life.
