@coldjoint,

That is the root problem here .
Trayvon Martin had two loving parents, and a father who was very much in his life.
His mother is a college graduate, his older brother is a college student, his uncle is an ex-marine, and this is a close-knit, middle class family that doesn't fit your stereotype in any way.
The "root problem" is an unstable man, with a gun, decided to play vigilante when he spotted a black kid in a hoodie walking around, talking on a cell phone, in his gated community, and he inaccurately profiled this kid as being "up to no good". Unsatisfied with just calling the police, and letting them do their job, this wannabe cop, in disregard of neighborhood watch rules, and the advisement of a police dispatcher, stalked the kid through the darkened community because he couldn't control his own anger and obsession with "these f---ing punks" and he was determined not to let this one get away. And he wound up killing an innocent kid who was simply meandering around on his way back to the residence in that community, where he was a guest, after a trip to the store.
And, after he finds out this kid was, in fact, innocent of any wrong doing when he inaccurately profiled him, and stalked him, and frightened him, and wound up killing him, as the result of a situation he created and provoked, and he was asked if, in retrospect, he would do anything differently, he say, "No," and he chalked his needless taking of a life, because of his bad judgment and lack of impulse control that night, up to "God's will."
And, since that night, this unstable man has continued to provoke, and threaten people with guns.
The "root problem" is that we have mentally unstable individuals walking around with guns, and filling their homes with guns...and threatening to use their guns...even after they have already caused one needless death.
You wake the **** up.
Trayvon Martin wasn't killed by problems in the black community, he was erroneously profiled by an unstable vigilante, because of the color of his skin, and he was killed in a predominantly white private gated community, where he had a perfect right to be that night.
Go play with your collection of George Zimmerman mug shots.
