So far I have heard two sides of stories in the masses: 1) This is a racial case and Zimmerman got away killing a black man. 2) This is not a racial case at all!!

I find it very hard to deny that discussion on racism cannot be dragged here. Those who say it has nothing to do with racism is putting a blindfold in their eyes. Whether Zimmerman killed Trevyon because of how he perceived a young black male going around the neighborhood is not clear, what is clear is how people might perceive the incident. A young black teenager is roaming around a neighborhood and a white (white/hispanic mix) guy immediately thinks he is up to no good?? Even if the dude is tripping on meth why do you need to handle it yourself? What if it were another white kid, dressed in suite and tie? Would he have done it?

My point is that racism will factor in whenever such incident happens, to deny it is to deny the reality. What you need to do, however, is to analyze it and realize that racism might be involved but there might be a bigger issue here. The issue here was about self defense and that's what the attention should focus to. Media could have played this angle; they ofcourse know racism angle sells more subscriptions. It's a shame.

TL;DR: Don't deny racism isn't involve, acknowledge it and analyze other important aspects involved.
