Zimmerman never referred to any specific race in all the
interviews
I've heard or read so far. I took the "those guys" term as
referencing the group of people he claims have conducted
burglaries
and/or home invasions in the area in the past.

Do you really believe that he was talking about burglers?

----------------------------------------

It doesn't matter what I think. The fact is that there is no
evidence he has specifically identified blacks as being the
"burglars". To assume otherwise, regardless of how strongly you
feel
is racist in it's own right.

Everybody has an opinion on this.

In fact, in testimony today the prosecution was trying to paint
Zimmerman as having a "thing" for blacks. But nowhere in any of
his
statements to police has he indicated that, a point that the
defense
lawyers pointed out.

Of course, they are lawyers!

------------------------------------------

The whole point of the court process is to separate truth from fiction
and produce justice. To that end, even the prosecution's primary
responsibility is to expose the truth, even if it doesn't help their
case. My lawyer friend (who was originally licensed and remains so
in Florida) has been lecturing me a bit on this trial and the
objectives of both the prosecution and defense. I would never have
made a good lawyer. I didn't do well in Business Law 101. As an
engineer, I am often too logical in my thought process to understand
some of the court system nuances.
