Yours is a good post.
This guy writes with black prejudice, he is trying hard to make things right in his own mind ,but cannot get past his prejudice.

Fact is a little sneak thief was killed in the act of assaulting a man.

Trying to call Zimmerman white is what stirred the racist angle in this whole affair. If Zimmerman had been black as the ace of spades (yeah I know) he would be praised as a hero for taking out the trash.

St. Tray and his GF were acting in vigilante fashion. They should have contacted the police to halt Zimmermann's profiling and stalking rather than taking the Law into their own hands to punish Zimmermann for surveilling St. Tray.

In fact there was a time when you were only three-fifths of a person if you were not white. Zimmerman would have been a three-fifther – hands down.

On one hand, Zimmerman was hardly the white Hispanic claimed.

On the other hand, the author is totally ignorant of the reasoning behind the three-fifth rule.

It had to do with condition of servitude, not race. Most, but not all, northern states had abolished slavery with the constitution was ratified. Black people counted for a full citizen for enumeration purposes there and in any other state where they were not slaves.

The other dirty little secret is that the states where slavery was illegal didn't want to count them at all. The states were slavery was legal wanted to count them as a full person. The 3/5th compromise was used to resolve the issue. But the facts wouldn't make a good narrative, so they are ignored.
