No that's not correct. First of all obviously Trayvon's family lived in the neighborhood so there were black families in the neighborhood. So it's ridiculous to say that just because Trayvon was black Zimmerman didn't think he was a resident. The main part that people seem to forget, or just not know is that there had been a number of break-ins in Zimmerman's neighborhood. And the description, of the suspect was of a black male, and what was Trayvon oh yeah a black male. That combined with the fact that Zimmerman didn't recognized Zimmerman as a resident and the fact that he was acting suspicious all added to up Zimmerman following him. He didn't just see a black kid and say he's black that must mean he's bad.
