Zimmerman - national attention is NOT because of racial profiling or 'Stand Your Ground' laws

17. I agree with the point you're making, but the case is

still about race. It's because the victim was black that the police didnt give a fuck and had no problem letting a white killer go free.

It drives me nuts to not only hear the black on white crime arguments, but also the black on black crime argument. The reason there are no protests over black on black crimes is that the police always go after the killers, the same as with black on white crimes.

There's an element of society that wants the iron-clad privilege to kill blacks for the least offense. That's why you hear all the crap flying and people trying to justify Martin's death. They want the right to shoot blacks out of their own personal fear - reasonable man standard be damned. Just a scratch will do when it comes to justifying fear of a black man. That kind of standard never applies when the victim is white. Look at how many people here who have poo pooed the fact that the idiot here was brandishing butcher knives.
Imagine if Trayvon had a butcher knife.
