Change the location from Florida to Georgia or Mississippi and then we are over the top with racial accusations. A white man kills an unarmed black man in the south and that is an open and shut case in the press. No trial needed he is guilty and if he doesn't go to prison it is an injustice. Now you switch that up and make it a Hispanic.. things aren't so clear. There is no clear antagonist in the press.
Has it been made clear that the police force is racist? Because an unarmed black man was shot and the shooter is not in jail? That makes the police racist? Other than the point that two men (I say men as Trayvon was 17 and could be physically as large or larger than Zimmerman) had an altercation and one was shot dead not a whole lot has been brought out about the case and yet according to you the police force is racist. Zimmerman himself has been called that and much more in the press with no information to back it up and on the contrary more information is coming out that he has Black blood relatives and yet because he had an altercation with a black man and shot him he is racist.
That is what I am saying. There are so many unsubstantiated accusations being made due to what... race. You throw that into the mix and facts become secondary. This is no longer about justice it is a chance for the race baiters to get their time in front of the camera and pander to their fans and for the press to have a huge emotional story to get their readership up and sell advertising. How about we quit with all the accusations until the facts are known?

In your last paragraph you decry the fact that this case is now a playground for race-baiters.
Yet the first paragraph of your post is full of examples of how racism exists in the US.
If there was a matter + antimatter = annihilation filter for internet posts, your's would have made a heck of an explosion.
