This. I think race has an awful lot to do with this. I think the definition of racism in this country is night and day from what true racism was back in the early to mid (to late) 1900's. Racism today is more from a profiling standpoint than it is from a "I hate this person because they're black/latino/ect." its a "This person is black/latino/white, ect so I think they're up to no good".
I think EVERYONE has been guilty of this type of profiling at some point.
So do I think this kid got shot because this guy hated black people, no. But if the kid had been a suspicious looking white kid dressed in a golf shirt, I don't think think this happens either.
