I remember that regarding Trayvon Martin. I never was sure if he was racist or just describing the kid. George Zimmerman I think was the name. I thought he was racist because he shot a kid holding Skittles and he was black. Would he have assumed a white kid had a gun or looked closer?
While I tend to think it was racism, we’ll never know the truth. I don’t know the area, the people, the police actions against black folks or the racism aspect of the community.
There were police shootings and death of black folks who were seemingly innocent. The media didn’t cover it enough and people assume it was justified due to preconceived notions.
When people say racism too many others think it’s an excuse for illegal actions. I believe it’s real and prevalent in the USA. Others wear blinders and ear plugs.
