It's possible it is staged but it's possible it isn't. I really don't know for sure. One wonders though why would African Americans participate in staging something like that? I don't see the motive.
In any event, real or not, it does reflect the emotional volatility present when black males and white males are in the same place right now outside of a formal environment (e.g. workplace, college, government office, church, etc...).
Here's the problem: http://uptownmagazine.com/files/2013/07/uptown-trayvon-martin-photo.jpg
We're apart on how that came about (and therefore what the verdict/penalty should be) but we're not on the very sobering realization that it did and needs to end.
I'm of the opinion that if both Zimmerman and Trayvon had Christ in them controlling their behavior, this very sobering reality would never have happened. I'm also of the opinion that I have to be able to set aside my opinion on this issue to join with my African American brothers toward seeing it stop.

A couple of reasons....
No black man can be racist and everything they say is filtered through the slavery guilt all of us evil white people must have.
Zimmerman was not black so he is a racist bigot who deserved to be accosted and should have done nothing and died.
Zimmerman had the audacity to defend himself with an evil gun. I am sure it was the gun's fault but they will blame Zimmerman anyways because he is non-black and a racist.
I see Reverend Wright has many converts. Its quite amazing. The facts of the trial proved Zimmerman was not a racist. suggests that Martin was.
Follow the money. Martin's family is going to sue for millions...of course its racist!!!!!
Lawyers becoming rich and famous...of course its racism!!!!
Amazing

A statistic is biased if it is calculated in such a way that is systematically different from the population parameter of interest or presented that way. Statistics calculated properly and presented without bias, as I provided, are critical in gaining a proper understanding.
For example, the estimated world's population reached a milestone of 7 billion in 2011 according to the World Population Prospects Report which is the official United Nations population projection prepared by the Population Division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
That's a useful statistic.

Ok, I looked it up. I made a false assertion about Florida Law because I didn't understand that the ability to file a civil lawsuit after an innocent verdict in a criminal trial under the circumstances involving the Zimmerman case is not possible.
In my state, Trayvon's parents could sue Zimmerman. In Florida, they will not be able to. The property management company that owns the complex did give them a million dollar out of court settlement, however.
The DOJ can file a civil rights lawsuit against Zimmerman but it is unlikely given the circumstances (this is normally done when the defendant is prosecuted on a much lesser charge than they should have been and the DOJ's investigation of about 200 people surrounding Zimmerman over the course of his life has shown Zimmerman to be squeaky clean of racism. What it did reveal is that he's a registered Democrat who voted for Obama and is patently non-racist).
The media was reprehensible. I've never seen such a blatant disregard for non-biased reporting in my lifetime. We've got both the liberal and conservative news media organs so far removed from non-biased journalism that it's sickening.
When I was a child, I remember the press acting as a "fourth estate" non-biasedly holding all parties to the truth. The fourth estate is dead. RIP.

FYI: The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program of the FBI uses careful Data Quality Guidelines that adhere to the federal government's Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity in which, according to Directive No. 15, the term "Black" refers to a person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
That's a huge problem with the media. I would watch the trial on both liberal and conservative sources. They both showed the trial, but then they'd give their opinion on testimonies. Both would pick apart the testimonies and give totally different opinions.
It all depended on how the reporters looked at it and had very little to do with actual evidence.
We are all influenced by the medias opinions. I guarantee you that many of our views on this trial would reflect what channel we watched it on.
The thing we need to realize is the jury was not exposed to FOXX, CNN, Nancey Grace, etc during the trial. They were only exposed to what went on in the courtroom. Their decision was based closer on what actually happened than ours. Many may not appreciate the decision of the jury, but their decision was certainly less biased than any of ours.
The situation would be the same if he was found guilty.

Let us also not forget the other casualties in this outrageous farce. A White police chief lost his job for clearly following procedure and the law when dealing with this situation. He was demonized, then tossed aside. Then there is the 'whistleblower' who was fired for revealing the special prosecutor was withholding evidence from the defense. The proven corruption and unethical behavior from the DOJ, but most particularly the media, is mind blowing in this case. These people are not crazy, they're downright dangerous.
