As a :cac: who has only dabbled in reading about this case, what is it that is making black people so furious?
Isn't this Zimmerman dude not white?
I thought I heard too that he was all beat up after the incident, with a broken nose and black eyes and shyt, like they fought?
Is the bigger issue only that Zimmerman was profiling him as being up to no good and instigated the confrontation?
I dunno, when it first broke ti sounded like he stalked this kid then shot him defenseless and he was some white dude who did it. Now it sounds like he's some Hispanic guy who got in a fight with him and shot him in self defense?
I'm just confused.
You want to know why black people are upset? pretty simple really. This kind of shyt happens too often. Black people get beat up/killed by white people and the justice system favours the white person. It doesn't matter if Zimmerman is half hispanic, its obvious to anyone who isn't blind that he clearly identifies more with his white side. Let me throw some points up for you that point in the direction of this guy being a racist.
1.He called Martin a "fukking c00n" under his breath in a 911 recording
2. He has phoned the police several times prior to the incident claiming that a black person has been acting suspicious.
3.His "black friend" was exposed as a fraud
If you listen to his 911 call, he says that martin was acting suspicious even though all he was doing was walking with his hood up and talking on his cell phone.
Zimmerman was not arrested for MONTHS after he shot martin. The police did not do a drug test on Zimmerman but they did on martin. The reason blacks are so angry is because this is a clear case of black people being denied justice yet again. Whites are quick to dissasociate themselves from Zimmerman and claim he's hispanic but its obvious the dude has white blood in him and identifies more with being white than anything.Frankly its disgusting what they're trying to do. Basically they're trying to pit latin people against blacks because the powers that be know that there is already quite a bit of tension between the two groups. Zimmerman is claiming self defense even though HE followed Martin. We have audio of Trayvon's screaming for help. Don't even get me started on the media's attempt to demonize martin claiming he was causing trouble in school and shyt.
Now I don't have more information other than that, BUT this is what I think happened:
-Zimmerman followed Martin and as a person who knows a thing or two about the law, he realized he could probably use the "stand your ground" law to his advantage.
-He approached martin, talked some shyt to enrage him and then he snapped and started to attack him. Halfway through the confrontation, Zimmerman pulled out his gat.
-Being a frightened teen he backed off, then started screaming for help as soon as he saw the piece then Zimmerman shot him.
