At least two kinds of racism were on display during the George Zimmerman second-degree murder trial in Sanford, Fla.: white racism and black racism. And the racism continued after Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted last weekend of murdering African-American teenager Trayvon Martin.
A six-woman jury was convinced Zimmerman killed 17-year-old Martin in self-defense. That’s when the blogosphere erupted in a cacophony of accusations of racism.
In my opinion, justice prevailed despite political extremists’ efforts to turn the trial into a black vs. white showdown.

Zimmerman had two big advantages over Trayvon
It’s over. What difference could it possibly make now?
It was just a guy with a gun who said I’m going out tonight to kill a negro.
(Tossed a little Hillary Clinton in there to make the argument more reasonable.)
It’s all about the money. Nothing else. The race baiters have crawled out of the woodwork to clean up on this Martin fiasco.
Everyone is entitled to throw in their two cents including those who two weeks ago didn’t know who Zimmerman or Martin were.

Functioning brain and common sense to carry one (firearm)

followed Martin, although the dispatcher told him not to
I'm going to scream if I hear this easily proven lie again
At one point, Zimmerman got out of his vehicle and approached Martin;
In what trial did this happen? It sure wasn't in the one I watched
During the trial Martin’s family and friends testified that they recognized the young man’s voice,
Only Martins mother did, while Daddy nervously backtracked on what he said before
The MSM has worked for years to fragment the USA racially and ethnically. They have been on a mission and it is not UNITE the USA. They want the little people divided and fighting amongst their own. It keeps the serfs distracted from the real corruption that the media conveniently overlooks.
The good professor is out in left field.
The Zimmerman trial divides America, not because of race, but because the is a difference of opinion on the facts.
Make a list of the facts, keep those that are real facts and drop those that are false facts, and everything will be fine.

You know what, blacks, I’m going to be completely honest with you. As a white woman, I’m scared of you. Blacks have tried to carjack me four separate times, tried to rob me, have beaten me up, been unbelievably mean, racist, and cruel to me, been horrible to my friends, have attacked my friends physically, and have robbed my father right in front of me, and this is just the short list.
With my personal experiences and national crime statistics put together, yeah, you’re darn right I’m looking to live as far away from you guys as possible, as most whites are these days, but are too afraid to come out and say it. Yeah, I don’t want my white son to grow up around you guys. No, I don’t find your rap music and gangster culture to be enjoyable or enlightening. I find it to be absolutely disgusting and horrible. The very worst that society has to offer. In fact, a society destroyer.
I find you people to be violent, dangerous, always looking for a fight, sullen, angry, never courteous, quick to anger, and totally unable to accept even the mildest constructive criticism. The problem is yours, not mine. No one is looking to move away from me.
Answer me this aggrieved blacks: Does it make sense for 12.5% minority in a nation of 316 million to pick a fight with the 87.5% majority? If so, remember Gen. Custer’s last words at Little Big Horn: “Where’d all the Indians come from?”
