It doesn't sound like it. But then again all I have to go by is statments like:
To hear shit like the above is very troubling...and people pretending this has nothing to do with race and ignoring police conduct is even more troubling. The truth is self-evident and race is written all over this case whether you want to see it or not.
Re-read both of your examples, if you don't mind, and highlight the part where it mentions race. Both mention age.
Police conduct notwithstanding, where are you seeing people 'pretending' that it's not about race? We are addressing the race issue not ignoring it.
I think you have issues.

You damn right I have issues and why shouldn't? Police conduct notwithstanding? Are we side stepping race as an issue when it comes to police conduct?
All you do is stick your head in the sand and say race isn't an issue but you never once mentioned why it isn't.

I'm not even getting to the Police conduct in this, I was just commenting on the initial Vigilante Vs. Kid scenario.

Because I think the shooter would have used another unpleasant descriptive for any color kid he thought was up to no good.
So just to confirm: You didn't find a reference to race in either quotes you posted, did you?

Do you not understand the implications of saying "drop the race angle" after calling Trayvon a "mouthy teenager."
You are beyond odious...you can't possibly believe you can mask your stench. What you said is uncalled for and doesn't jive with the facts.

Please join the dots for me. Is Trayvon incapable of being a mouthy teenager for some reason I'm not aware of?

Keep the insults coming, it's amusing that you have so little control that you can't hold a conversation without getting excited.

You don't know what evidence the cops do or don't have so your assuming alot with what your saying about the cops. That's not different then someone assuming the kid was mouthy teen.

Isn't calling this 17 year old a "mouthy teenager" the same type of profiling that Zimmerman was doing? (sketchy/on drugs)
Sounds like to me that the kid was minding his own business, not bothering anybody. Some mouth breather guy "wanna be cop" decided to take action after he was told to stand down and to not pursue. I don't know about you, but if I'm rolling down the street or through a neighborhood and somebody rolls up on me like Zimmerman did this kid, chances are I would be defending myself.
The fact Zimmerman is claiming "self defense" is a farce. If anything, the kid was defending himself from a vigilante. No way this guy should be walking the street today. That said, I'm not surprised seeing how shitty Florida's judicial system is.
