""Most white southerners accept the fact that everyone is equal before the law, in business and government, and should be treated with respect socially as well.""

In business and in government? The one percent with lots of money.

Try selling that one to those black people who are hassled by Florida law enforcement, or try to get fair hearing in a Florida court.

I have several times pointed out that Martin himself had every right to fear Zimmerman and to believe that Zimmerman was likely reaching for a gun, which would give Martin a self defence right.

It has been ignored or rejected by all of our racially non prejudiced fans of George Zimmerman, and was never brought up by a prosecution team which rendered a defence almost superfluous.

Multiply that by a couple of million and you have a clue about justice for blacks (except for those who are rich) in Florida.
