I just watched the interview with Mr. Oliver on MSNBC, and what is so appalling to me is the term he used "Gut instinct", Zimmerman had his gut instinct too and it lead to a death of a young man. This gut instinct is the same thing I get when I am walking down the street when a woman clutches her purse as I walk by without knowing me, When I walk into a room and conversation goes quiet when Trayvon Martin's story is being showed on the news, that is the same feeling that is felt when our President has to prove he's an American citizen for his seat as President and not as Senator, And those little comments people make when they say "you shouldn't known he would mess up the country" or Reference him as "one of them", or "They"....America and the world should learn to look at the human being and not the color, we are the human race...No matter the color,orientation, religion, or background. But people can't see this and its a shame that a young man had to die to show us to look at ourselves, and see human without a color description
It's very hypocritical to suggest that one persons background matters while the other persons doesn't... the answer is they both do!! If Trayvon Martin carries himself as a thug and acts like one, then it can be assumed that he was being very suspicious in Zimmerman's eyes (casing houses, etc...)... just as if Zimmerman can be proved to have a violent background it can be used against him.... so yes it does matter for both of them, and again, extremely hypocritical to suggest it matters for one and not the other!!!!!
