(5,465 posts)Thank you so much for telling it like it is. Based on what I've learned since Trayvon Martin was gunned down but prior to the trial, I don't know how anyone can be informed Democrats and not see the acts of Zimmerman TO THIS POINT as anything but racist. I believe Zimmerman is a bigot and a racist although there is a possibility he is ignorant of the prejudices he holds. There's always a possibility. Just like there is a possibility he will be found not guilty regardless of what you and I and many others here believe.
But given that there may be Democrats who are not students of history and thus ignorant, one would think they'd wait to declare for one side or the other and follow the trial with an open mind, weigh the evidence witness by witness, listen and think about all the testimony and argument from both sides, and come to a well reasoned decision AFTER the closing arguments are delivered and the case goes to jury. Or, maybe, they're just bigots and haters too. Like George.
Thanks again for your OP - Happy to K&R.
