It is not about the defendants, it was about the jury. I believe they saw the victim as someone outside of themselves, someone outside of them rather than a kid that could have easily have been one of their own children. I find it ironic that they likely did not consider the race of the defendants at all. It was the race of the victim that led to this verdict.

I find it highly unlikely they didnt consider the race of both the victim and defendants. I don’t see them saying “Oh he’s black so he deserved it” thats hogwash IMO.
The common perception is that only white people (specfically men) are racist. And that is a flat out misconception.
You have no way of knowing that. You sound to me like you are black, with a lot of the black man's "blame whitey syndrome" for everything that happens to any black. I haven't seen the tape, I haven't followed the case, and I will hold judgement until I read more about it and see the tape, but for you to say, without a doubt, that it was race that drove this aquittal is just BS.
