In this series, I, Dan Colgate, examine hot-button current-events kerfuffles and judge whether we're dealing with actual racism or just stupid bullshit.
Actual racism is a terrible disease and ought to be eradicated. Just as racism is more dangerous than, say, a wolf, we here at Objectable Content believe crying racism is also more dangerous than crying wolf.
Anyway, please enjoy IS IT RACIST?
IS IT RACIST? Episode 3:
The George Zimmerman Verdict
On 6 February 2012, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was walking home from a candy run to the local convenience store. George Zimmerman, also headed home in his truck, saw Trayvon and began following after him like a total creeper.

Zimmerman then got out of his truck, chased after Trayvon, fought with him, and finally shot Trayvon through the heart and killed him.
Over a year later, a jury found Zimmerman "not guilty."
So... IS IT RACIST?
[drumroll...]
OF COURSE IT'S FUCKING RACIST! IT'S A GROSS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE! IT'S AN INTOLERABLE OUTRAGE!
Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next time on IS IT RACIST?
