    It's all about race baiting, got to make the White man look evil, like hes the blue eyed devil. But no national out cry for the millions of Black on White crimes that happen hourly that can all be tried as hate crimes, but because they are committed against whites it will NEVER be tried as a hate crime.

    George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon wasn't white. He was hispanic. His father was of German Descent. and his mother was born in Peru.

    What made this case so unique was is it was an investigation of a law called Stand Your Ground. A law regarding justifiable homicide in Florida and other states.

    It was also during the time of Barack Obama's reelection and I guess he had to focus on something in order to get some appeal. Since George Zimmerman's name was almost white sounding a lot of people mistakin him for being white.

    "Man bites Dog" story. When the very few times there is a crime of a non-black against a black the USA goes Ape-crazy. But the many thousands of the reverse go unmentioned.

    The fact that this question is being asked so often just shows how racist white people still are.

    Zimmermen is caucasian passing. If Trayvon were white, we wouldn't be calling Zimmerman white. Nor would we respect his racial ambiguity. He would just be another "****" to the media and to white people.
