He didn't say he wasn't sure, he didn't say he didn't know, he didn't say I can't tell. He wouldn't have said I think he's black if he didn't think he was black. Just because he didn't say it until asked doesn't mean that he didn't know before he called them.
And the comparison to what Trayvon said isn't valid. GZ WAS following him, there is no disputing that. However, Trayvon wasn't doing anything suspicious or illegal, vast difference between the two and some mega leaps and stretches are being made here to try to turn it around.
I think the FBI will determine if any hate crime charges are filed. I don't think a hate crime will be brought up at his criminal trial.
And the statistics do not bear out any rampant black crime going on as has often been alleged.
How do we know if he was looking suspicious or not? If he wasn't looking suspicious then GZ would not have been calling the dispatcher about him.
It was not just his race, as 1/3 of the residents were black, so it had to be more than that.
And imo, the police reports do indicate there was a crime problem happening in the complex. It may have seemed 'nothing' in your estimation, but being home with your baby when two black males break into your home, in broad daylight, would be terrifying, imo.
