AP ^ | May 11, 2016 | Associated Press

Trayvon Martin has often been in the thoughts of playwright and activist Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj in the four years since the 17-year-old unarmed black boy was shot and killed after a confrontation with neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.

He has wondered about Martin's dreams, his life and the moments before he died.

Enough with the racial pejoratives already!

“Black boy”??? If I used those terms, I’d be lynched - drat! I’ve done it myself.

Time to whip myself - dangnabit! I’ve done it again.

Now for the bad. We all know that the play’s story will be utter BS but I do see school field trips to local and traveling versions of this POS, acting troupes being paid to bring it to schools, and students doing their own productions of it. It’s the liberal way.

When they brought his evidence out to show the jury

I knew it was all over for the prosecution.

Every juror's immediate reaction had to have been "Wait a minute. We thought Trayvon was a harmless little child!"

I'm guessing they will pass on the mugging it up on Facebook with a gun, mixing up and drinking the Purple Drank, and getting kicked out of school?

George Zimmerman was just lucky that Trayvon left his Glock at home

Trayvon wears his gold grill like a crown,
Call his child Skittles, cause he likes the name,
Suspended from the finest school in town.

Trayvon, Trayvon like his money,
makes alot they say.
Spends his days dealing, by the playground way.

He was born a bastard to a ho,
6 weeks past Christmas day.
When the New Tork Times says Clintons great,
Tracy Martin had a son today.

And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
And he shall be Trayvon,
in tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
......he shall be Trayvon.

Trayvon, steals womens jewelry all day,
His family business thrives.
Skittles blows up balloons all day,
Sits on the porch watching them fly.

And Skittles, wants to go to Venus,
and leave Trayvon far behind.
Take a balloon and go sailing,
while Trayvon, Trayvon slowly dies.

And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
And he shall be Trayvon,
in tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
......heeee shaaaall beeee TraaaaayyyyVVVVVVooooooonn.

I am amazed at the dishonesty of the premise. It boggles my mind.

He has wondered about Martin's dreams, his life and the moments before he died.

Isn't that so sweet? Meanwhile, the facts on the ground indicate his dreams were to become a thug making big money from criminal gangster activity but, until he made it into that world, he had to settle for petty theft, burglary and beating the snot out of any "White Hispanic" who had the audacity to challenge him.

Had Zimmerman been unarmed that night, he probably would have just been another murder or severe beating victim and St. Trayvon would have been just another thug's name in the local police blotter.

Pure fantasy then.

Makes you wonder if some of the historic figures are purely ‘fairy tales’, too.

I rather use my money to buy the gun Zimmerman is selling online that shot St Trayvon than use it to buy a ticket to a play honoring the thug.

The show includes a show-stopping song from Rachel Jeantel.

Purple drank, purple drank

Purple drank, purple drank

I only want to see you pounding down some purple drank
