George Zimmerman Has ‘Black Roots’

I’m not arguing from the point of view of what the actual specifics are - I was phrasing my argument in terms of what the “optics” were when this whole sorry mess got started.
My point is that when this ship first sailed the issue was - as succinctly as I can state it - “white man shoots black man and is given a get out of jail free card”.
That really was the original theme.
Of course since then people have ladled on all of their hopes, fears, expectations, memories of similar incidents, preconceptions etc. so that the original issue has long since gotten lost.
I’m saying simply that in the beginning the “community” wanted their day in court. And now they have it. I really think that should be the primary focus here.
Simmons started down this road but as another poster pointed out veered off into the swamp of “karmic justice” and the “grace” of the family blah blah blah.
To me the narrative - is “See? No get out of jail free card. He got his trial. So let’s put this issue to bed.”
