Looking at the protest photos and I am left wondering..Why so few whites?

28. Klukie, I'll tell you why so few whites....

I do believe that Zimmerman is obviously guilty of homicide. He did pull the trigger. He put himself into a situation that resulted in the death of an unarmed teenager. He seemingly used poor judgement. All he needed to do was report this individual to law enforcement. He put himself in a situation that resulted in the unnecessary death of Trayvon. I can understand how a young black male, or anyone for that matter, being followed and likely scared would and some point stop and stand his ground. He may have felt that the only way to get out of the situation and not be harmed would be to strike first and eliminate the threat. A potentially valid decision based upon how threatened Trayvon may have felt. Like I said, Zimmerman is without a doubt guilty of homicide. BUT, it is up to the judicial system to decide if this was self-defense, manslaughter or murder.

So why few whites standing by Reverend Sharpton? Apathy? Racism? Not me. I can only speak for myself. Only a fool would fail to recognize that racism is alive and well in this country. And only a fool would deny the possibility that Trayvons killing was racially motivated. But do you really know for sure? Reverend Sharpton, in your heart and mind do you really know? And as a mere human that cannot read hearts and minds, Reverend have you ever misjudged before? Tawana Brawley anyone?

No, I will not stand by any individual that that is willing to label a situation racial just because the individuals involved are of different races. He was wrong before. The stakes are too high. Summer race riots anyone? And anyone relying on biased media viewpoints on either side, slow down. The facts will sift out.

Perhaps the most distasteful thing since Trayvons killing, is that it will be used by some black leadership who assume they speak for the majority of blacks, to further their own personal or political agenda.

Anyway Klukie, your sentiments are beautifully written. But open your eyes. Nothing is so plain as you state. Only one person REALLY knows if this was racially motivated, Zimmerman. Anyone else who claims to know for sure at this point is deluding themselves. That's what race hucksters are counting on.
