The Trayvon Martin case was more about the underlying prejudices in society. The fact that Zimmerman racially profiled him, followed him, on a street he lived. Then confronted him after Police told him not to. Then when Police did show up, Zimmerman wasn't arrested, only questioned, because he was "white" & presumed innocent because the "black" kid had to have been doing something wrong for this "neighborhood watch" guy to shoot him, in cold blood.

If Zimmerman was black, he would not only have been arrested on the spot. But may have very well been shot by the police themselves for having a loaded gun that just killed somebody. The outrage in the black community is that the law works differently when it comes to people of color. They are not given the benefit of the doubt that Zimmerman was, & that's morally wrong. Blacks are always "guilty until proven innocent", while whites are "innocent until proven guilty" @EtH @fidel_z @NOBLE
