Mookie, the "because he was black" is such a crap argument.I am so sick of the victim mentality people have when it comes to things like this.Until there is evidence to show this was racial, stop with that garbage because it is WRONG and does nothing but cause discontent.
Zimmerman is an overzealous, wannabe cop who screwed up big time but not fair to claim racism until there is REAL evidence to show this.The coon comment? Come on! I heard that, it was so garbled could not make out what he said, sounded more like static breathing to me.Sure, the Al Sharptons of the world will try to make a big deal out of that.Now, if some evidence surfaces and shows he says that often or is known for racial views, okay. Also, "they always get away" is not a racial comment.Fact is, a lot of criminals get away.Zimmerman was wrong to think Martin was a criminal, but he felt he possibly was and would get away before the police arrived.
Again, I am not a fan of Zimmerman but also not going to stand by while the ignorant masses try to form a type of lynch mob.Drop the victim mentality, it will help you get ahead.Listen to Clarence Thomas types of the world, not the Jesse Jacksons.
