An image of Martin Luther King Jr. in a hoodie similar to the one Trayvon Martin wore the night he was shot by George Zimmerman has gone viral in support of the teen after a Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter. But at least one member of King's family said she doesn't like the image.

Now that is just as bigoted a remark as all the ones coming from the other side.

As I understand it, the family makes a living off MLK memorabilia and all things related to MLK including speaking engagements, and so on. I don't begrudge them this source of income, but using the guy's name the way Disney might use Goofy or Mickey Mouse seems a bit tacky.

If it is getting out of hand, it is because it was already out of hand...just out of sight.

Liberals and Black Racists are both filled with hate and this entire Trayvon emotional jag is the visible manifestation of such.

They don't care about the facts, they don't care about the truth.

They only care about fanning the flames of the hate on which their beliefs are based.

Hate feels good but the beast is a consumer of energy...it needs to be fed regularly.

It is destructive, not productive...but it feels so damn good.

” I think he would succumb to the black racist mentality of the current leaders and the current black culture.”

I don't think he would.

Any man who firmly believed ‘ Judge a man by the content of his character rather than the color of his skin ‘ would never kowtow to the likes of Sharpton, Jesse and the rabid white liberals foaming at the mouths going on about ‘ We are treyvon! ‘.
