He may be a troubled guy but the media made it a case of white on black crime. That was not the case but it feeds into the media machine that perpetuates the myth that white America is anti minority. It sells. Zimmerman is a whacko but he does not represent white America. We have come a long way and how many times did they mention the tension between hispanics and african americans. Zero. The African American community feels threatened by the growing hispanic community and rightfully so. They are replacing them as the "minority" in the US and rapidly. Once that happens where is their voice and relevance?
