Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager whose killing sparked a national firestorm about white violence against African-Americans, are writing a book titled Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin. The book will be published by Random House’s One World, the multicultural imprint being rebooted by editor Christopher Jackson, who announced the project in an interview with THR.

The publisher is simply giving them money. This makes no business sense.

The publisher will be compensated by Soros for services rendered.

The parents were instrumental in providing the needed meme for Obama to create BLM.

Everyone's compensated.

So how does one make money in this?? It will go into every library and in every school in the country. It will be required reading. It’s a scam on the public.

So, the absentee parents of TM are now trying to cash in from the minority segment of the population?

I would suspect that only minorities will buy the book.

If that is true then the taxpayers will be buying the book for the minorities who are already on welfare, but, at least, the parents will not be on welfare anymore.

alternatives?: " Has anybody ever compared the women jewelry he had on his possession when he was suspended from school
with those reported as stolen in a burglary in the neighborhood?"

As I recall those events, I believe the connection to the jewelry found in Trayvons backpack was never thoroughly investigated
by either the police , nor school authorities.
Don't forget that school authorities wanted to downplay any criminal activities by students,
nor did they want listed the number of times police were called to the school.
An unnamed investigative reporter was the one who tracked down and linked Trayvon's backpack to the recent burglaries in proximity to the school.
The backpack and jewelry, while taken from Trayvon, was never specifically identified as Trayvon's when taken (chain of custody violation).
Another source might be any of the burglary victims whose jewelry was returned either by the police, or by school authorities.

Lets forget about the score of racially inspired assults enticed by the “bully pulpit” and media follow up claiming Trevon was the victim and could have been the Presidents “son” that resulted in deaths and serious injuries .

The book is already in “remainders”. They will pay you to take one.

The chapter on how Treyvon had turned his life around, was going for his PhD, and was trying out for the Olympic boxing team was exhilarating.

That is why you can find it in the “Fiction” section of your local garbage dump.

Trayvon Martin's Parents Sign Book Deal

Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin



This is the result of having lost the culture war and the corruption of the GOP establishment.

If you are a county clerk and don't want to issue a marriage license to a gay wedding, you go to JAIL.

If you are a small business and don't want to provide your artistic talent to promote homosexuality, you will lose your business and livelihood, and will face criminal charges from your government.

NOBODY from the GOP is coming to your aid. You're on your own.

However, if your gang banger kid gets himself killed while in the middle of a mugging, you get a book deal.

Thanks for this backwards repressive culture, GOP establishment.

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Trayvon. One day he was headed home with Skittles and iced tea, when he was shot dead by a white Hispanic. The End.

I beg to differ!

There will be countless white-guilt liberals who will buy this book and spend hours reading in anguish with hands wringing.

Thanks, you added some more details to what I recalled. I would think the people who lost the jewelry would be interested in recovering it. However, if it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative the media isn’t going search for the truth

alternatives? :" However, if it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative the media isn’t going search for the truth "

Since when has the media recently searched for the truth ?
Even the news from the White hut has to be 'hand-delivered' to the media, and is handed out there.
I will check my notes, but the investigative reporter went beyond the headlines,
and did a little digging and found that "Saint Trayvon" was believed to be an active burglar, and was at least, was holding stolen property.
Interesting that he was on a cellphone csll with Rachel while skulking around the neighborhood - ..no ?
while previously having possession of stolen womens' jewelry -..no ?
I don't think anyone checked the local pawn shops, nor conducted a search of Rachel's residence for stolen jewelry.
I guess that is just one of the blessings of having a "Social Engineer" familiar with media associated with attorneys "Crump and Company"
whose sole purpose was to develop and direct communication to the media, and to the public,
under the aegis and protection of the Dept. of "JUST-US", Community Affiairs Div.
All the communication to the media was orchestrated, just like a band of musical instruments, and all done in the background with protection of the FED.gov.
The media never finds out anything that they don't want to find, or that isn't hand-delivered; investigative journalism is dead !

Publish it as a rap song, and some of its target audience might actually hear it.
