Totally agree. Idiots like Sharpton and Jackson swooping in and claiming things like "blacks are being hunted" before the facts even start to surface... Zimmerman and his wife mentored some black kids for free from what I read... really stinks of being a racist, huh?

Anyone else find it ironic that by playing the race card too quickly that it actually creates more racial division?

This whole case is a tragedy, but I don't think it's nearly as racially motivated as a lot of other poeple.
