*sigh* a large percentage of people will NEVER “get” that this isn’t really about race at all, and never has been. It’s about class.
A scary poor white kid with resisted arrest or was sneaking around peoples houses at night would of been treated the exact same way.
Trayvon Martin was not "poor". Both parents were working. From his wiki:
"Martin was born in 1995 in Miami, Florida, to Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, who divorced in 1999. At the time of the shooting, Fulton was a program coordinator for the Miami Dade Housing Authority, and Tracy Martin was a truck driver; they lived near each other in Miami Gardens. Martin's older maternal half-brother, Jahavaris Fulton, was a college student at the time (who would later testify in the Zimmerman trial)"
Trayvon was middle-class, or upper working-class, but still a thug.
