Trayvon was not killed because Zimmerman hates black people. Fact is that Zimmerman is just as white as Barack Obama. Zimmerman cannot claim privileges for his whiteness anywhere in America. White people have made sure that you are not white in America until both your parents are born white. 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.So, without a race-based murder or a hate crime, it could well have been self-defense. Where does that leave us?
That leaves us without a bad guy to convict under a system of identity justice. Identity justice says identify the race, ethnicity etc. of the parties and you have established good guy and bad guy, guilt and innocence.
Pity that Zimmerman's DNA is so confused

Or perhaps fortunate for Zimmerman that the race based lynching didn’t take, in part because of his mixed heritage, his history of tutoring black students, his community activist work trying to achieve some degree of accountability for the local police department that assaulted a homeless man.
It would be nice if race didn’t matter. Let me know where such a place is.
