Actually, although Zimmerman is not technically white, he does have light skinned/passing privilege.

That said, the reference to a white supremacist America is a little bit more nuanced than what I’m assuming you’re thinking, which is probably: “But he’s hispanic!"—sorry if I’m assuming incorrectly.

In my comment, I’m referring to the larger criminal [in]justice system and other American institutions that function at a level that is inherently racist. One of the reasons for this is because there are coded laws and societal rules that socially stratify and create and continually reproduce a racial hierarchy so as to keep the dominant race, white people, in power. Now if that’s not white supremacist, I don’t know what is…

Finally, to address what I believe to be your final qualm: which I’m assuming is the fact that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense rather than under the “stand your ground" law. Well, my dear Anon, the “stand your ground" law is a law that simply states that one can “justifiably use force in self defense when there is reasonable belief of an unlawful threat, without an obligation to retreat first,"—now if I’m not mistaken, there is no qualitative difference there. Cece McDonald was acting in self-defense, as was Marissa Alexander. So I suppose you are technically correct, it was “self-defense" but the general question this picture is trying to ask remains the same: “Who is allowed to defend their life and their body?"

And you know what? If we were in court because you shot me to defend yourself from nothing, you would probably get off on a technicality there too—because as a brown person, my body isn’t worth protecting in America. At least that’s what I’ve gleaned from this case.
