If you want to understand the reasoning why Zimmerman was suspicious all you have to do is listen to the first part of the phone call he made to the police.I remember a show a few years ago that took makeup and made white people appear to be black. Some of the things they have observed was that white people had a fear of blacks. If I remember correctly there was more fear observed, or at least more instances of white people reacting to those that had been made to look black when they had not only been made to look black but were dressed in a 'hip-hop' style. From what I have seen, Treyvon was dressed in somewhat of a hip-hop fashion. Now, let me be clear, I am not saying that it is OK for people to go around shooting folks just because they have an initial reaction of fear towards someone. But let us face facts. Zimmerman (GZ) was initially suspicious towards Treyvon (TM). Why? Well, I think it is fair to say that the majority of crime is committed by blacks who are hip-hop dressed, whites that commit crimes are also hip-hop dressed, as well as white-trash dressed. The white-trash style has yet to catch on in the African American community. I think had TM been dressed in khaki pants, with a polo or button up tucked in with a belt and nice shoes he would not have been confronted, and shot. Of course, people have a right to dress how they see fit, but sometimes there are negative affects of the choices we make that we have every right to make. A similar thing might be said of a female rape victim that was dressed like a total slut. It doesn't make it her fault she was raped, but her decision to hold herself out as a whore increased her chances of getting raped.
#1. It was raining. #2. Travan was not trying to get home in any sort of hurry, he was just kinda hanging out and looking around.
I dont think most hoodies are waterproof.
Therefore, it was apparently Travan's actions that caused the suspicion.
He got shot because he assaulted George Zimmerman.
Look, there are problems with race relations in this country, that much is apparent. Unfortunately for the media, the race baiters, and all the other divisive scum out there this case really does not fall into that category.
I would like to see the government remove all forms of racial classification from every document they process.
Then I would like to see the schools teach every child that you can make a great life for yourself in America regardless of race, social class, etc. That is what we need IMO.
