So we should all disarm and be left defenseless against criminal thugs because blacks are disproportionately victims of SYG?

...

SYG wasn’t even used in the St. Trayvon case.

And, supposedly in the recent incident, despite the sheriff’s statement, it wasn’t SYG in that case either. Not sure, but from what I’ve seen (scant info) that seems to be the case. Legal eagles will sort it out. Maybe.

Black persons use guns to legitimately defend themselves a lot.

Also, Zimmerman wasn’t standing so sure, call it laying prone on your ground (during a beatdown) instead.

“The attorney who represents Trayvon Martin's family is expected to hold a news conference on what he calls a discriminatory “stand your ground” law following the shooting death of Markeis McGlockton at a Circle A Food store last week.”

I’ll never let anyone forget that in the Zimmerman/Martin case, the judge .. on the final day .. introduced new charges for the jury to deliberate on.

This action is unconstitutional. Any legal aggression against George Zimmerman should be nullified.

"SYG wasn’t even used in the St. Trayvon case."

It's not that it wasn't used, it's that it didn't apply. Zimmerman didn't have an opportunity to retreat when he was attacked, so no duty to retreat could have applied to him.
