[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]well, unfortunately, I'm guessing 90% of the robberies in that neighborhood were committed by black teens wearing hoodies.  that is the unfortunate reality.  so while it means nothing with respect to guilt or innocence, it was not totally unreasonable for Z to think the victim was up to no good.  Right?[/quote]

Maybe. but when Z starts calling 911 30+ times about "suspicious black males," (one of whom was 10!) it sort of makes Z an unreliable narrator when it comes to assessing the danger posed by a random young black male.

I know many folks here don't really like black people, or maybe African-American culture, or more accurately what they perceive as the tolerance for an anti-social element within the African-American community.

But in this case, it really seems Trayvon Martin is on the side of the angels here and Z was at best a poor assessor of the danger posed by African-American males, if not an outright racist, and was, most likely, the escalator of a situation that ended in the death of another human being. I mean, why would Z want to provoke the animal-like nature that racists tell me is present in each and every Black person? Why not let the police do it, and then protest when Trayvon gets off under affirmative action or the such?

There's enough honest-to-God black criminals for you to tell scary Black Male stories about. Trayvon wasn't one of them.[/quote]
