Again, if any of the evidence could prove otherwise, then this would be an entirely different issue. But as it stands right now, the only "evidence" they really have is from some illiterate retard who can't even read a sworn statement that she sign spouting off nonsense about "crazy ass cracka".
But then, none of it really matters anyway. The jury and everyone else involved have made up their mind on innocence or guilt long before the trial actually started.

I agree that the media has been all over the race aspects of this since day one and Martin's family and supporters have played the race card non-stop. I also agree that the prosecution was maybe pressured into a murder 2 charge. They likely wanted to press for manslaughter which may have ended in a plea bargain, but all the media attention forced their hands.
I still think race has a place in the trial. If Zimmerman was racially profiling Martin that has some importance and if Martin's race is what caused Zimmerman to stop and investigate it plays a role in this. Of course, we will never likely know if race did play a role in this or not. The circumstances surrounding this case just don't allow for us to ever know the full truth of how and why things went down.
