I wonder if the Department of Justice can introduce notions of implicit bias to explain why George Zimmermans actions were motivated by negative views of Black people. I do not have expertise in how to plead and prove a case against Mr. Zimmerman using implicit bias concepts, but I feel it would be helpful for the body politic to have to face how racism manifests itself today. In other words, this nitwit now wants to convict Zimmerman not on any facts of racism, but unconscious racism. This goes beyond thoughtcrime. You are now guilty of thoughts you don't even have, because you're white.

So Mr. Zimmerman is guilty of illegal thoughts based on the color his skin would be if he was a Jewish Zimmerman.
And we can profile a person’s thoughts based on his assumed skin color.
And profiling is a bad thing.
The rules keep changing, don’t they?
