Thom Hartmann: On Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman

Source:Thom Hartmann-looking into the case of George Zimmerman.

“White people don’t understand white privilege.”

From Thom Hartmann

Actually, what President Obama said was what would have been the case if the gun was in the other hand and the gun owner was Trayvon Martin and not George Zimmerman, would the outcome had been the same, had Mr. Martin shot and killed Mr. Zimmerman, because Mr. Martin thought he was being physically threatened by Mr. Zimmerman, even if he didn’t have actual reason to believe that.

And then the President basically implied that if was an African-American man and not a Caucasian and the Caucasian had shot and killed the African-American for the exact same reasons, in a deep red state, that of course the African-American would’ve been found guilty of murder there.
