For me, this was going to come down to whether white women saw themselves as white first or women first. I’ve gotten my answer.

Minorities & women are seen as being complicit in their own injuries in ways that white men aren’t. Trayvon Martin was followed at night by a stranger, ends up being killed, and debate ensues about the part he played in the situation. Much like how women are raped and debate ensues over the role she played in her own sexual assault. What did she wear? Was she drinking? You’d think that a female jury would be able to relate to the predicament Trayvon was in as well as the post-incident smearing. But alas, they sided with their fear of black males over empathy for being held to account for your own victimization. Interesting.
