70. Acually she was quite clear.

You however appear obtuse. The excerpt presented, from a biblical passage clearly speaks on actions. And Zimmerman's many actions or acts of racism; that can also be called microaggressions, as he may not identify his actions as racist.

Examples: comments in front of co-workers. His many reports and phonecalls to dispatch about what he deemed to be suspicious, young Black men. Profiling Martin. Following him despite suggestion by dispatch and warning by neighborhood guide. Then having a confrontation with said unarmed victim. His comments of frustration to dispatch and cops who took his deposition where he talks about "punks assholes" always get away. Which i am inclined to believe means Black men AND boys based on his past calls.

All this is clearly summarized, And eloquently so in the quote by the magistrate.
