Yes, because Martin had actually disengaged, he was free and clear but chose to turn back to co front the creepy ass cracker, or whatever he called Zimmerman in that phone call.
Martin is responsible for the resulting violent confrontation. That he chose to turn back to confront the other shows intent. He attacked Zimmerman. Being disrespected is not a valid motive for such an action.
Martin didn’t die because he was black, because Zimmerman set out to kill a black man, but I would argue that he died because of his blackness, or his sense of personal offendedness he seems to have cultivated to the point of being willing to physically attack another..
I would disagree with your statement. It's not cultivated, it's instinctive.
Look up scare pranking on Youtube. The "fight or flight" reflex seems to trend by race.
Prank scare a white adult male, he'll jump back, squealing. Prank scare a black adult male, and there is a HIGH likelihood you'll get a fist in the face. It's a reaction at the animal level.
I know, to point it out is racist.
