History does prove that many young black men were senselessly [b]murdered[/b] by racist white men (who were never punished). The black American psyche still has not recovered, and probably never will. Especially given that many black people in this country lived under Jim Crow and lived with the atrocities that whites in America inflicted upon blacks.  You expect people to be able to get over that and pretend that we now live in a post-racial world where this was not racially motivated? Get real. My grandmother is 90 and still shakes when she sees policemen because she remembers her father being dragged out of their home on the Eastern Shore of MD and beaten almost to death by the local police chief and his deputy in 1930 when she was 6 years old. His offense? Selling more pigs than a neighboring white farmer. They also shot all of his livestock. Most white people do not believe me when I tell this story. No wonder I am an angry black woman.

Given the facts available in this situation, it is not a leap to conjecture that Zimmerman's zeal to follow Martin was racially motivated and that he chose to shoot him because that same prejudice that led him to follow Martin also led him to believe that Martin was dangerous.

In 1974, I witnessed the Prince Georges County police beat my uncle in the head until my uncle was bent face down on the ground. My uncle had recently returned from during a tour of duty in Korea. My uncle's crime was mistaken identity. Fuck that bitch who said that because something that systematically happened to black men time after time is a false leap of assumption that the present murder was not racially motivated[/quote]
