I believe you are arguing under the false assumption all racism is equal in our society. Not only are whites the progenitors of racism in our country, white racism has teeth in real world applications. Black/minority racism is in fact a product of white racism. Without white racism, black/minority racism would not exist.

It's not self-defense if you follow an innocent kid around enough to scare him into fighting when you leave your car to continue to stalk the kid.

Why are so many people assuming what happened instead of waiting for the all the evidence to be presented in trial? Innocent until proven guilty.

Assuming? Zimmerman's investigating interview has been released as well as the 9-1-1 tapes. Other than straight up rhetoric, the basic facts of the case are pretty clear for anyone to see.

Just curious, Sassy. Do you still feel the same way?

Yes. I think the prosecution did a poor job from choosing the charges to making their case. I still absolutely, unequivocally think that had zimmerman not left his car, martin would still be alive. I also think zimmerman did not fear for his life, but got himself worked up into a frenzy and behaved irrationally and initiated the entire confrontation. I think it is a sad injustice that he goes free when he shot and killed an unarmed teenager.

You are in one serious state of denial. You did however say "I think". That alone should tell you, you've denied the facts of the case. From reading this thread it's crystal clear your assumptions have blocked your ability to accept facts of the case.

One of the reasons I didn't pay much attention until the trial. Also the reason I was so shocked there was and continues to be a "race baiting" lynch mob mentality. Good ole al sharpton, about to embark on yet another Tawana Brawley case!
