"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."


i think this part is bullshit.  some random black men robbing the neighborhood doesn't mean zimmerman should've treated every black man he didn't know in the neighborhood as suspicious.  that is completely unfair and wrong, and it's exactly that mentality that led to this mess in the first place.  it would be one thing if trayvon had actually been doing something questionable, but he wasn't...at all.

i also want to add that it's silly for that women to state her race, as if that justifies her comment.  being black doesn't mean it's impossible for you to be racist towards other black people.
