Lament From a White Father

Agreed. I asked myself the following questions about the incident.



Had Trayvon been white rather than black would Zimmerman felt the need to follow him when told not to by the dispatcher? No.



Would the confrontation had escalated to murder had Zimmerman confronted a white teenager? No.



Would the Sanford Police had just sent Zimmerman home the night of the shooting if the victim was white? No.



Would the Sanford Police have allowed the body of a white Trayvon to lie in the morgue for days without trying to find his parents? No.



Would the incident lead to a trial without the need for public pressure? Yes.



Would a white Trayvon have had to defend himself from the grave to prove his murder wasn't justified? No.



Would Zimmerman have been viewed as the victim of this incident? No.



Would a white jury have let Zimmerman walk on all charges if Trayvon were white? No.



Would Zimmerman be in jail now for gunning down a white Trayvon Martin?



Absolutely.
