A Tale Of Two Murders.

Since the Treyvon Martin, George Zimmerman incident on February 26th, in Sanford, Florida the word Racism has been regurgitated by liberals into their gullible followers and the media much like some birds feed their young. The fact is that there is no proof that racism played any role in this event. The story that unfolded regarding this case is that Treyvon was out for a stroll and noticed he was being followed by George who was on neighborhood watch patrol Tryson apparently took offense to the surveillence and reacted by giving George a beating. As the story goes George due to fear shot Treyvon thus killing him. Pursuant to much fanfare for treyvon by politicians and the liberal media George Zimmerman was arrested, charged and tried. He was acquited by a jury, the verdict resulted in the hue and cry of racism.
On March 22nd in Brunswick, Georgia a 13 month old baby, Antonio West, was shot in the face at point blank range by a teen attempting to rob Antonio's mother. There was no reason to shoot this baby he posed no threat, he had no money.  The victim was white the shooter black.
I believe Treyvon Martin's attack on George Zimmerman which tragically ended with him being shot and the above mentioned murder of a baby were motivated by " Hate " a much stronger and more logical motivator than racism.
Racism is a state of mind in which one race believes it is superior to others.
Hate is fueled by intense hostility and loathing, extreme dislike and more likely to motivate spontaneous violence.
