"People are forgetting: George Zimmerman is not a white man (no more than Barack Obama is)." -Lily H.

George Zimmerman

You have the word of a Latino against that of the parents of a young black man who was slain.   Who do you choose to believe?

And on what basis:  skin color?  sympathy?  historical injustice?  cultural affinity (sports/music/movies)?

Which man is more "entitled" to being believed?

The Latino man (Zimmerman) states that he was being pinned on the ground and being pummeled by a tall black teen-ager and that he feared for his very life.  The parents say their child (Martin) was unarmed, not dangerous, and had simply gone out to buy a snack.*
