I’ve had a lifelong dream of being an emperor. I wonder if I could get a school to give me a degree for wanting to be an emperor?

Little 6’2” Trayvon did redefine the meaning of head banger didn’t he. That’s gotta be worth something too. A No Bell Pounder Prize with a case of Skittles maybe.

I can’t believe anyone still mourns someone who was trying to kill someone and only by the thinnest of margins was Zimmerman able to stop him. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how one looks at it, the one shot killed the criminal in training. Who knows; he may have gone on to commit some kind of mass murder later in life if Zimmerman hadn’t killed him.

It still angers me that George Zimmerman, the person who was a hero that night, was even charged in the first place. Talk about a racial witch hunt!! Racism is alive and well in the black community for sure.

St Skittles a pilot? Laughable.

Hey, maybe they can give him a posthumous degree from the Air Force Academy, then posthumous wings from UPT. Then he can become a posthumous F-15 pilot, then he could receive a posthumous Medal of Honor. Hey, the possibilities are endless. /S

Memorializing criminal assaulters helps no one but race baiting grifters
and harms those that it professes to help.

Racism in the Black community will always be alive and well unfortunately.

He didn’t attempt to assault Zimmerman. He DID assault Zimmerman. What Trayvon attempted to do was MURDER George Zimmerman.

And this punk is being honored. SMH.

If a degree doesn’t require scholastic achievement, where is my PHD?

funny what someone who attempted murder and who was a drug addict can achieve after death- this is nothing but a slap in the face for all law abiding hard working people who struggle to make it in this life by following the rules and being decent people, instead of beign some lowlife who smashes someone’s head into the concrete in an attempt to murder them!

I did the first two years of my EE at one of those “dodgy community colleges.” Then when I transfered to the University for upper class I was laughing at how ill- prepared the University’s own students were. “Dodgy” indeed.

This award has as much meaning as Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize

Officials say the degree honors Martin’s life-long PIPE dream of becoming a pilot.

Florida Memorial is a private, historically-black school that is 1 of 39 member institutions of the united negro college fund.

An aeronautical science degree sounds to me like a hard-core engineering type program. In actuality, it’s four years in flight education or ATC. For flight education they require a year of algebra and a semester of physics.

They probably misunderstood when he said all he wanted to do was get real high.

One of his tweets:

"WULD I MISS KROP [high school]?? HELL NAW FUK DA SKOOL, FUK DA LUNCH, ND MOST OF ALL FUK DA FACULTY..... IMA MISS SUM OF DA STUDENTS, MAINLY DA BABIES ;)"

Considering his academic potential and love of learning, I'm surprised they didn't award him an honorary doctorate.

Regards,
