(12,041 posts)47. I am white and I recommended your OP
I was not offended at all, I am well aware of the long history of racism in this country and I think you have every right to express your frustration. The fact is an innocent black kid was murdered and a lot of white people are defending the murderer, the people who defend this shit are the same type of people who defended the KKK in years past.
As I am sure you are well aware I am not the only white person who thinks it is disgusting that anyone would defend George Zimmerman, there are many of us who are on your side and those of us who oppose the murder of unarmed black kids know your post was not directed at us.

It's entirely possible that during the chase, he could have slipped on wet grass
