I did a quick search and didn't see a thread on this, but my bad if there has been one.
Anyway, if you are living under a rock or outside the US it's possible you haven't heard about this.
Long story short. Innocent unarmed black kid (Trayvon Martin) is walking around with a hoodie wielding skittles and a bottle of water. Crazy leader of a local neighbourhood watch group (George Zimmerman) calls the police to report "suspicious activity (see: a black kid in his neighbourhood and he used slurs in the call) and the police tell him to do nothing while they send a patrol out. Instead Zimmerman follows Martin and ends up killing him for no reason. He then claims it was self defense even though Martin is clearly unarmed. Due so Florida laws Zimmerman still hasn't even spent a day in jail.

There is really only one take here imo but feel free to discuss.
Racism is clearly still a problem and imho if it were the other way around and the killer was black he'd already be in jail.
