Georg Zimmerman had black friends dated black women and mentored black kids even after he was no longer being paid. The rash of break-in at his gated community were committed by blacks. Trayvon Martin was staying at that gated community because he was suspend from school. He has a police history., etc etc etc. The State withheld all this information. The state only agreed to this trial becaue of political pressure. The state interjected their own racist comments by describing Zimmerman as a "white hispanic"
This case was never about race until the Sharpton's of the world decided they needed a new cause to kick start their careers.
Anyone who is not making a profit off of this are being used as useful idiots . For the rest of us let's just continue to be civil in all matters and to everyone setting good example and that has the power to extinguish such hatred.

Good post...and have to admit that our President is in an unenviable position,
one in which he put himself in.
He spoke and got involved before any investigation was complete. He spoke at that time in words that reinforced and put emphasis on the race aspect. Remember this put enormous pressure on everyone for a rush to judgement.
He has appointed an Attorney General who, as of yet, has not even acknowledged the FBI findings on race, or the comments from the jurors (ALL of them, not just the one 'famous" for her interview) on the lack of race in the decision, and who simply in the past few days has been speaking to black groups about injustice, and to my knowledge has never uttered Zimmermans name.
His ex Secy of State has made remarks to black groups stating shock at the verdict and spoke of Martin as if he was a saint.
Today, the Martin family appealed to the POTUS to go over this with a fine tooth comb as the DOJ for the second or third time try to find something racial.
The White House says he will not be involved, and I will accept that for now, but he, himself, has put himself into a situation that is not very comfortable.
