The mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin got a standing ovation before speaking to parishioners at a Baltimore church...
Fulton told reporters that she’s making such trips not just for her son, but for other young people who might be victims of racial profiling.

If you watch the released 711 store video it’s not possible to see what race Trayvon was. He was basically covered completely up.
Like the white tourists getting preyed on by black yoots roaming downtown Baltimore
(oops, we Merry-landers aren’t supposed to say anything abut that, or we are rasist)
I noticed that, too, on the way to Pimlico. Great stakes race!
Had she put as much effort into raising her kid, as she is making money off his death, and flitting about the country, he might not have turned into a thug, and might still be alive today. She’s just another opportunist like Cindy Sheehan.
This woman needs an award. The Worst Mother of the Year Award. She raised him to be a punk.
Let me fix this for you.
If you watch the released 711 store video it’s not possible to see what race Trayvon was MOST OF THE TIME. He was basically covered completely up. EXCEPT WHEN HE LOOKED DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA.
It would have been almost impossible for George Zimmerman to tell for sure what race the intruder was.
dispatcher:
“OK, is he White, Black, or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman:
“He looks black.”
He “LOOKS” Black. Meaning he wasn't SURE what race the suspicious person was. Also, he was only given three choices. He was trying to be helpful to the police and had to choose from those three choices. He DIDN'T volunteer that the suspect was Black. You can even hear the doubt in Zimmerman's voice.
Racial profiling MY A$$!
Myself, I personally advocate all kinds of profiling. It's STUPID not to profile.
Read the history of Haiti.
In the few decades in US, leaving your immediate stronghold will be, shall we say, bad for your health.
“She raised him to be a punk.”
#####
She ignored him to be a punk.
Repeated across millions of black households and we have the current infestation of feral young savages.
The monogamous, heterosexual, stable and loving nuclear family is essential for civilization.
I did read that many of her gov’t co-workers donated their vacation time to her (8 month’s worth) so she received a steady paycheck for 8 months while she copyrighted her son’s name, and took to the road. I think that should NOT be permitted. Gov’t employees get vacation time, with the hope they re-charge and come back to work refreshed, not to be used for barter. I am sympathetic for this mother’s loss, but what I saw of her son’s past criminal activity (drugs and theft), and his boxing training, and his gold grill (where did he get that money for that???), just showed me a thug in training destined for bigger crimes.
She must have given the “Hate Whitey” sermon for there to be a standing ovation.
So the taxpayers are footing the bill. Nice.
Look, I would not object if it was a catastrophic illness, for example. But in effect paying her to wander around the country is not right.
“Why wasn’t mom overseeing Trayvon’s excursions ?”

That’s what I wondered. He was out at 7:00 pm. At that time of year, it would be dark. I don’t care whether you live in a safe neighborhood, parents should not be allowing their kids to go out after dark.
Agreed. If a (insert race) male with a red jacket and red pants just held up a store and you happened to be that race, wearing that exact outfit and also in the area, I'm pretty sure the cops would stop and question you.
I wore hoodies and sometimes ski masks when I was in colder climes but I always removed them before going into stores. Hoodies are functional but cut off too much of your peripheral vision.
Mama was not around. He was with his dad. Dad was at dinner with his girlie. TM had to go get his smoke on. Ice tea and candy was probably just an alibi to get out of the house.
Eight months of donated time is pretty excessive. I rarely see that much for actual illnesses. You only get about four hours every two weeks and so a years worth could be wiped out by a short hospital stay.
The show is moving to St. Louis
