The first mistake the president of the NAACP in Norfolk, Va., made was saying that Trayvon Martin had a “shaky” past.
Then Tristan Breaux admonished his membership to react “logically, not racially” to the verdict.
This happened just as the lawyers prepared their closing arguments in the trial of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon. Zimmerman was acquitted over the weekend.
But the fury in response to the statements from Breaux started coming from Norfolk and around the country right away, and really hasn’t stopped.
WAVY-TV news tracked down a local city councilman:
“To the majority of the African-American community, I would find it offensive,” said Norfolk City Councilman Paul Riddick.
The station reported: “Tristan Breaux, 25, was sworn in as president of the Norfolk NAACP in January. He is the youngest president in the branch’s history, but members of the organization are calling for him to step down.

Barely 17, drug user and almost certainly with some serious burglary experience in his resume leads me to believe that “shaky background” fits him perfectly.

Tristan done wandered off the plantation. He also has majorly insulted the community by use of the L word

I guess he won’t be repeating that at the convention. He had that foot outside the Plantation.

Tristan Breaux, 25, was sworn in as president of the Norfolk NAACP in January. He is the youngest president in the branch’s historyKids say the darndest things. The best kind of youthful indiscretion--brutal honesty.

I’m betting credits to navy beans that if prints were taken in any of those then-recent burglary locations Zimmerman was pointing to, Trayvon’s fingerprints will show up.

You’re probably right. Of course, that will have to be kept under wraps, lest it reflect badly on the race hustlers.

“To the majority of the African-American community, I would find it offensive,” said Norfolk City Councilman Paul Riddick. He finds it offensive to be asked to think "logically, not racially" because thinking logically goes against everything he's been taught since birth. NAACP-types know no other way of thinking except "racially."
