A California history teacher’s decision to dress as Trayvon Martin for his school’s yearbook photo has drawn a mixed reaction, KTUV reports.
Spencer Smith (pictured center) is seen flashing the peace symbol while wearing a white hoodie and holding Skittles. Martin had just purchased the candy shortly before his death. Smith was reportedly attempting to make a political statement.

Some have come out in support of Smith; others remain unsure. Alfreda Charway, president of Brentwood Heritage High School’s Black Student Union, called it “a good idea because he’s expressing himself.”
“Because that’s the whole point of yearbook pictures, you’re supposed to express yourself,” Charway added.
“[It was] ok that he did it, just not in the yearbook,” commented Amber McKim, a sophomore at the school. However, one mother strongly disagreed with Smith’s decision, saying, “This is supposed to be capturing the best moments of the year. And all positive things.”
Martin was walking back to his father’s house in Sanford, Fla. in February 2012 when he got into a confrontation with neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. The incident ended with Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin in the chest. He claimed he was acting in self-defense.
A grand jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder charges last year.
What does the Brentwood Heritage High School’s White Student Union say?
Black people who are completely sold out on the lies they have been taught have no idea that they are sprinting toward their own destruction.
To quote a black commenter on a board at TOS, "you can cook up some fire-ass lean!" (Meaning, "purple drank", abuse of which was noted by the coroner at Twayvon's autopsy, in the form of certain revealing forms of dain bramage.)
Glad to see you're down with the struggle and hate first-gen Peruvian-Americans. I'm all over those damn Peruvians, myself. </screaming sarc>
I think Martin got home. I also think that he was taunted by RACHEL to go back out and kick that cracka's arse.
This is what they were hiding.
Hey, Trayvon, who's signing now? Not you, chump. 'Bye.
History teacher? Affirmative action history teacher is more like it, and a completely different animal than the real thing. I’d bet a hundred dollars he couldn’t pass a simple history exam.

shouldnt this idiot be beating someone’s head on a sidewalk in the photo too ?
Looks like he needs to lay off the candy and go to the gym.
Interesting idea ("cherchez la femme", the French cops always said), but why do you think so? Was there something in the phone-call audio that makes you think that? Or, shall we say, a "strategic gap" (as in, Rose Mary Woods and the Nixonian "18-minute gap")?
I'm sure he wasn't the only one to say that but that was a line from Trayvon's Twitter feed.
"Saint Trayvon of the Innocent Skittles". It has a ring. Bet someone be doin' a statue soon.
He forgot the backpack full of stolen jewelry and screwdriver he was carrying around as a means of getting into apts
No, vision had it right the first time.
Good Lord black culture is screwed up.
The self-aggrandizing promoters and pushers of the "racism" drug enable the cultural dysfunction to continue and get worse. People like Bill Cosby and Clarance Thomas represent those who would help heal this self-defeating culture by encouraging blacks to take ownership of their lives and win in life.
History teacher.....wonder if he knows what happened on June 6th. 1944?
