The Smithsonian, Trayvon Martin's Hoodie and the Rumor Mill

Prolly correct about both.

No, I don't constantly s*** on Martin. Nor do I attack anyone .
I know, because I have not had any punches or warnings for posting racist posts or for attacking anyone with my posts.
And thank you for sharing about your's and other people's PM's. I'm really glad that you and Other people have something to talk about in the PM's you share ,that really eases my mind. I have often wondered if you and other people have found enough of something to talk about while sharing PM's.
Maybe if you try posting in a thread where the topic is about Zimmerman and Martin you might have better luck at 'attacking' my "over racist behavior and thought patterns".
It seems that you missed the mark in this thread.

From what the Smithsonian says , they don't have any plans for trying to acquire the hoodie or anything else dealing with Martin's death .
It must be that Sharpton is just trying to keep his name in the media.

I was just letting you know how obvious you are, in case you wanted to tone it down or something. But you're not interested. It's OK.

After giving it some serious thought and doing some checking back in some of the Zimmerman - Martin threads , , it just may be you who has an issue with being a racist.
I have said very little about race or racism except when expressing my opinion that Zimmerman didn't profile Martin and then generally I will make reference to the results of the FBI investigation .
I have mentioned several times Martins age, not his race.
If every time I mention 'Martin' you think ' black kid' It would seem that it's not me that thinks with a racist mindset ,but you .

This is a terrible idea!

Martin's hoodie would come to life and try to exact revenge on Zimmerman and if it succeeds, then Don Imus or Rush Limbaugh or somebody would try and get Zimmerman's pants inducted in there as well, so their clothes would be unlocked in a bitter, never-ending feud of hatred, anguish and despair. Even Al Capone and Attila the Hun would be sickened by the sheer brutality of it all! Ben Stiller definitely has his work cut out for him this time.

[EDIT: I only said Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh because I could not for the life of me find a single white rights activist. They don't exist and if they do then they're supremacists. ]

I think Jon's saying that because you seem to deny Martin's credibility but not even question Zimmerman's. I could be wrong though.

This is a pattern that long predates Martin's death.

Fair enough but she was talking about the Zimmerman trial. I could have made that more vague and inserted "black people" for Martin and "others" for Zimmerman but the principle is the same.

Isn't it?

I'm sure he has a very good reason for saying whatever it is he says. Just ask him . He really likes to tell others what they are saying and what they mean when they say it. He's talented like that.

I don't really care why he said it. I just thought you might want a another opinion. For whatever it's worth, I do notice a bit of a pattern there about vilifying black people. It's not all black people, not by any means.



No skin off my back.

It is not just Black people like Al Sharpton, it is all so, most all politicians, priests / preachers that molest kids, law enforcement people that have that "I'm A God" attitude, teachers who molest kids, irregardless of their skin color,,, just to name a few

FYI, that's not a word.

ir·re·gard·less adverb \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\


Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.
