I didn't check the timeline on when that term was used. I was just saying that the idea of black on black or Hispanic on black raises less hell. If the guy had a last name like Sanchez or spoke with a strong Hispanic accent things would have been different. They used the term because it sounded better and served their purpose of ratings.
I understand what you saying....that the term wasn't used before he was charged but to assume no one used racism aginst zimmerman or in favor of Trevon in any form before the charges is foolish.
As we know this trial was another case of racism run wild no one knows to what depth because people hide it when it's not convenient.
