  • The "race" of the shooter is irrelevant. If zimmerman shot a white kid under the exact same circumstances he would have been arrested and charged the night the crime happened.

  • They address that in the video. It is a story that everyone is talking about, so asking why everyone is talking about it is silly. Everyone is talking about it because everyone is talking about it.

  • Put it this way, it is difficult for non blacks to understand the fear of being shot based purely on race so don't bother arguing.

  • 'They always get away'....thats a wrap right there

  • oprah, p diddy, lebron james, all dis propaganda they dont care this wats planned for race war and to desquise bigger things they doing behind scenes and prolly for rex 84 plan to lock up blacks in concentration camps with the rest. lebron, oprah, diddy with the illuminati masonic satanist. oprah one of the biggest masons.... have turned into judas agaisnt there own. this happens all the time now its being on da media its propaganda.

  • You do realize that George Zimmerman is NOT white, right?

    He's Hispanic....a minority. If anyone should be complaining about racism, it should be him.

  • the contention is Z pursued TM only because he was black, and not because TM fit the profile (as supported by jail statistics) and choice of clothing of "someone up to no good"; as to why Z was not arrested, perhaps the DA who was handed the recommendation of the SPD to charge Z with manslaughter was busy & wasn't ready to start the clock 

  • @Jeanne90275 Isolated? Don't make me laugh. And what would you know about institutionalized racism? Your bread is buttered on both sides.

  • What the fuck do you mean??!!

  • @shyFOx So what are you saying? His hoodie made him ask to be shot to death?

  • black wanna stop this kind of stuff stop giving ppl reasons

  • war machine springs to life.....oh ya everyone who makes a big deal of this is a racist....u juss are
