It's safe to assume that an ignorant fool like you would not know about
the serious race-related problems the Sanford police had and have, the
drug problems in the area, and that large parts of north east and
central Florida are populated by ignorant white racists at least as
stupid as you are, or that Florida itself had the largest number of
lynchings of black folks. So, yes, race is still a big issue in parts of
Florida.


You are talking ancient history. When was the last lynching? 75 years
ago? 100 years ago?
This particular neighborhood was racially mixed and the black guy who
came to the defense of Zimmerman was a retired CNN executive.
The Sanford police had a shakeup after the racist problems, the city
manager who appointed the current chief is black and the second in
command is black.
They have also said this is a witch hunt and they refused to accept
the resignation of the chief.



The chief of police said in a lengthy TV interview some weeks ago that
his department in its recent history had very serious problems of
racism, and that he had been working to alleviate them, but there was a
lot of work yet to be done.

As for "race relations" in redneck/cracker areas of Florida, they remain
a continuing problem. I have no familiarity with your area of the state.
