アメリカはいまだに人種に分け隔てられている、という記事
人種、民族、宗教、あるいは、国籍というのは乗り越えるべき壁ではある。しかし、その壁は案外、高く、厚い。普段、無自覚だと、その壁により、紛争が起きてしまってから驚くことになる。

BUT THE MEDIA CIRCUS is not the only reason this case sparks controversy. Now and then a case comes along that shines a bright light on the continuing racial divide which exists in America. The Rodney King incident comes to mind. So does the O.J. Simpson murder trial.
These cases, like the Trayvon Martin incident, lay bare the fact that many Americans see the world around them from vastly different perspectives, largely separated by race. Readers will remember that while whites took scant notice of the Rodney King beating, blacks staged demonstrations and in some places, including Beloit, resorted to violence in the neighborhoods. Likewise, in the Simpson murder trial, when the not guilty verdict was delivered, polls showed whites thought the former football star committed the crime while blacks believed he was innocent.

One of things the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case proved was how divided America is still by race. Blacks and white, in general, regard almost everything (not the least of which criminal justice) from a different perspective.
