    Would you care if Zimmerman was illegal and Trayvon a white girl?

    While I understand that some are tired of the Trayvon Martin story, many of us can't be tired because we ARE Trayvon too. These situations happen too often to innocent and unarmed black males. If some of the roles were reversed however, there would still be a segment of America that would be tired of the coverage. We have to get beyond our differences and look at our common humanity. I hope in the long run that the Trayvon Martin case will help us do that.
