Zimmerman seems to have reached the conclusion that a black kid in a hoodie was a threat, and worth confronting. I haven't heard any evidence that he ever displayed such behavior towards white kids in hoodies.

I'm with you on most of this, but while I don't think racism was the main or only factor in this shooting, I think it probably played a part, and I'm by no means the only one saying that. Geraldo himself says that the hoodie the kid was wearing was as big a factor as the gun, which brings up the question of whether it's JUST hoodie shirts in general, of if it's something specific about black kids in hoodies.
