So your logic includes: - Trayvon's guilt is inherent because he is 17 years old - Trayvon must have tried to kill Zimmerman even though we have no evidence supporting that - Zimmerman had the right to shoot Trayvon, even though Zimmerman started the altercation and Zimmerman had the gun - not Trayvon. Put yourself in Trayvon's shoes. I was 17. I experienced nights like Trayvon's. He was just going to get junk food from a variety store. It is dark. A man that is 50 lbs heavier and 10 years older starts following you. He has a gun. That is terrifying. That is actually all we know. Then we find that Trayvon is shot. Even if Trayvon did attack Zimmerman... it was Trayvon who was defending himself... not the other way around. Trayvon was followed by a man with a gun. Not the other way around. If you twist it, then you are clearly biased. And if Trayvon was a white kid, he would have enjoyed his evening and spent the remainder of it watching an NBA game. But he is black. And blackness is demonized within American culture. Blackness is seen as violent and dangerous. I'll quote again from the article: EDIT: Also, as mk said, the point of this article clearly went over your head.The people whose ancestors were kidnapped, sold into slavery, and treated like farm animals for centuries, are the people who are stereotyped as “violent” and “dangerous”. It is sickening.
