Trayvon was unarmed save his box of skittles.

Ir is too bad he didn't offer him some skittles.

No one black, brown or white can honestly tell me that seeing a kid of color with a hood pulled over his head doesn’t generate a certain reaction, sometimes scorn, often menace.

The first few seconds of an initial encounter between two people who are strangers are driven by instinctive reactions: the fight, flight, or fright response. Each person makes unconscious unthinking appraisals that center around their safety.The animal instinct for survival makes one super alert at a subconscious level on first contact, and for a split second, as the body enters a heightened state of awareness, a mental shield goes up to protect it.

I agree with your above assessment of ANY encounter of strangers (color, race, etc... be damned) - but liberals call this RACISM! Normal people, like you, me and most conservatives, call this good, common sense! No laws, diversity training, required political correct speech or anything else will EVER get rid of this natural, survival instinct!

When this instinct is lost by a person, then that person is more than likely going to become EXTINCT - in a NON-NATURAL manner! PERIOD!
