If you had been on the jury (Zimmerman case)

So Trayvon Martin's life is unimportant to this case? This is no tangent.

talking about how martin is a symbol for oppressed youth IS a tangent. waxing poetic about the difficulties of being young and black in america IS a tangent. using his death as an excuse to parade around your own pet issues IS a tangent. YES.

This is not a pet issue of mine, it's actually pretty low on my priority list. But yet he remains a symbol for millions of people and many protesters. You mentioned him as a symbol first too!

maybe people are riled up cuz its seen as like a symbol of innocent black kids being targeted and killed by cops and how horrible that is, but zimmerman isn't the patron demon of evil cops, he's just one dude.

You are the one that started talking about it first.

what does me using the word "symbol" first have to do with you accusing fox of being heartless because she didn't? wtf!

I am not accusing Fox of being heartless. I know she's not heartless. I hope nobody thinks that, I think she's a good person.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't display signs of unconscious racism like virtually everyone that lives. I'm just point those out.

Also you didn't just just say symbol, you said pretty much exactly what you accuse me of saying, except in a more negative fashion.
