Why is America still so ignorant about racism? Read this quote from a neighbor of George Zimmerman.

[GopperStopper2680]

8. The Truth is often uncomfortable.

But that doesn't mean it's any less true. And usually the more uncomfortable the truth is the more urgently it needs to be dealt with. Picture going to your doctor and hearing her tell you "You have cancer". Not anything that anyone wants to hear. You can do one of generally two things about it. Either ask her what needs to be done, NOW, and perhaps stop it before it becomes too late, or continue to disbelieve the problem. This might lead to 'second opinions', more tests, etc. Which eventually cost you more time and money and might cost you your life. In this case we're in the 'more tests' outcome. The picture to me is pretty clear. Zimmerman is guilty of racial profiling and murder.

And as to Zimmerman's race, I expect he probably ignores the Peruvian half of his heritage in favor of calling himself 'white'. It's not uncommon. I know a guy that's part white, part black, part who knows what, and he calls himself what ever he wants to when he feels like it. And he's extremely racist against blacks even though he's part black himself.
