But according to relatives his mother encouraged George to "marry white" to move up.

I think there is some self-hatred going on. I also think that Trayvon calling Zimmerman "nigga" (per Rachel Jeantel's testimony) may have really set him off.

That was how he described him on the phone to his female friend

The craziest thing I saw in L A was an African American and a caucasian in a verbal altercation and the African American guy called the caucasian guy the n word and the caucasian guy is going on of how he's not the a n-word. it ended peacefully, thank God.

I have no idea what the words means any more. I just don't like it.

And the idea that a person having African American acquaintances or friends and exhibiting racist tendencies is mutually exclusive is fanciful.
