    Trayvon was NOT weaving or impaired.. Read the ME's report.

    Trayvon was pacing back and forth under the lighted mail kiosk and talking on his cell phone waiting for the rain to let up.

    A certain amount of it is inevitable. There are reasonable legal limits to it, just as there are reasonable levels of practicing it.

    I personally profile attitudes, not skin color. It's all about the attitude. Race needs to be thrown to the side. There is nothing revealing about profiling color. You look for attitude.

    I think you're overly optimistic, reading the posts in this forum should to you racism is still widely held belief...

    the fact that people still believe that race exists as a scientific fact confirms racism is still with us, some of it is due to lack of information but many people even when given the hard scientific facts by the genetic experts still refuse to accept it...if these same people went to an MD for tests and the MD told them they had cancer none would question the MD's expertise... when if geneticist says there are no races then suddenly they become experts in genetics and the genetic experts don't know *hit, they're PC socialists, that's closet racism trying to hide behind pseudoscience and ignorance....

    To state that Race does not exist is to be delusional to state that it means much more than where your ancestors came from is equally delusional. The races may become the case in another 5-10 generations as travel becomes faster and easier and human nature takes its course and humanity becomes ever more polyglot but it si not the case at the moment.

    Margot did the toxicology report check for lean. It is quite possible they did not. And the entire incident did not occur under the street light. The Autopsy showed the beginnings of Brain and liver damage from excessive use of the codeine that is the active ingredient in lean.

    That is not profiling.
