CHAUNCEY GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT The Zimmerman jury simply agreed with their own racial "common sense" about black people, our inherent criminality, and threat to white civilization and order. The jury bowed down to their community norms. They could not, nor would they go home, to their white peers in a very conservative, segregated community, and justify how could they send one of their "defenders" to prison for the "petty crime" of killing a black person. The Zimmerman jury also validated the day-to-day life experiences of how race is lived as a series of small slights, micro aggressions, institutional discrimination, and pointed stabbing reminders--as in this decision--of the semi-permanence of white supremacy as a social force in American life. The "niggerization" of black Americans by the American legal system continues unabated with the George Zimmerman "not guilty" verdict. alternet.org/speakeasy/chaunceydevega/if-trayvon-martin-had-his-slave-pass-maybe-he-would-still-be-alive-george
