I'm not watching the trial, but following it via the news. When you read what some of these people are saying it doesn't change my opinion at all which is that it will be up to the jury to decide if Zimmerman provoked Martin and started the fight or not. Since there doesn't appear to be clear evidence one way or the other it comes down to who is most credible.
However, based on how the witnesses themselves act, the information given so far may be taken differently.
As for race. Of course they are going to bring race up. The prosecution is trying to prove that Zimmerman saw a black person in his neighborhood and immediately became suspicious of them so he followed him, started a fight with him and then shot him when he was losing that fight. Race plays a role in this trial.
