Awesome post and assessment. Why do you think most black people are incapable of seeing it this way-how it really happened? Also, what do they want from all of this? What are they trying to get from these "Trayvon Martin rallies"? I have read a few statements and most deal with combating "White Supremacy" in society and in the court system, some state changing of Gun Laws and I have seen unemployment benefits also lumped in there as rationale for their rallies. What exactly DO they want? What are they trying to accomplish? Do they want a law passed that says people can attack others for no reason at all?
Adonis-
Well from my view, it seems they want Zimmerman to die, (he either might commit sucide or is on his way out if the country, there is no way they will try him again. The public got what they wanted and had him tried, it's not happening again). and of course all the "race baiters" will profit. Al sharpton owes like $2.6 million in taxes:

If one were to (like Dr.Ben Carson) to sit down, and tell the facts, and show the evidence, and say how can America be so racist, now we have an African American as president, I believe, the tempers will settle.
Trust me Adonis- I really wanted to believe Zimmerman was guilty for a racial crime, but after extensively watching the trial, (if I endorse a petition I believe in it) but when the facts were presented, and clearly unequivocal, I felt really dumb- almost used.
I work as a Physician Assistant. My hero for following medicine, was Dr Benjamin Carson. He to, if you read his book, was a hot-tempered, individual, that actually stabbed his good friend in a dispute over music. Fortunately for him the blade, hit his friends belt buckle and the blade broke. He then prayed for the anger to go away from him. He also had a mother that didn't ever give up on him. Not like the Martin family trademarking there son's likeness (you never saw the fallen Aids victim Ryan Whites parents try to make a buck off his likeness)
But to quote Dr. Carson again, "the person with the most to do with what happens to you, is YOU, You and the choice s that you make. Sadly, We all know what Trayvon chose.
In a lighter note- you have really changed a lot from our times in the now defunct Musclemayhem forums- you have grown into a more sure, confident person based off your posts. Your core is still you Adam, still looking for the truth- from when you blasted Fouad Abaid and Massive "just rinse your meat" G about there drug use (and how mayhem gave you a very undeserved "blithering idiot" title) to your debates/online battle with "Big noli" aka cswol, you have come pretty full circle,I hope you never lose that curiosity within you.
