Lonnie Bunch:


I wonder how much the (tax payer funded) Smithsonian would pay the parents for this Hoodie and what Al Sharpton's cut would be?

Also, from the referenced Washington Post article about this:

“I would like to see it preserved,” the Rev. Al Sharpton proclaimed into a cellphone on his way to a White House meeting about voting rights with President Obama.

Sharpton, more than any other person, might be responsible for bringing the Martin killing to trial. He organized the huge rally in Sanford that brought such pressure on Florida officials that the governor eventually appointed a special prosecutor to take on the case.

Sharpton is imagining what it would be like if we could see a snatch of clothing worn by Emmett Till, the 14-year-old who became a civil rights icon because he was killed after being accused of flirting with a white woman in 1950s Mississippi. Martin is this generation’s Emmett Till, Sharpton says. He calls the unarmed teenager’s death by a bullet that first pierced his hoodie, and then pierced his heart, the first civil rights flash point of the 21st century

They plan to display it right next to O.J. s gloves.

Perhaps they can include the stolen jewelry and laptop found in the thug, Trayvon’s, possession as well as the skittles and watermelon drink that he was taking back to add to the bottle of cough medicine at home.

Perhaps the exhibit can include as well a list of charges that Trayvon would have faced if he had succeeded in beating George Zimmerman senseless or to death.

Because, opposed to the great museums around the world containing treasures and talent, this is what the Smithsonian thinks is culture and treasure here in the United States. Not a DaVinci, not a Matisse, but the trappings of a culture of defeat, self-victimization, and hate.

(Sarcasm on) I'm so proud. (Sarcasm off)

No connection to race here, huh? Right.

The “hoodie” is not representative of Trayvon as “depicted, and scripted by the left lib media”.... because he was depicted and scripted as a “profiled” person. This DESPITE the fact that, in the full airing of the facts of the case in a court of law (even with the manipulative State’s case/evidence), profiling was NOT demonstrated at all.

Now, if mr. lonnie bunch wants a hoodie from a truly profiled individual he need only get one from a deceased member of a DC gang (surely not one from the neighborhood he lives in— like maybe Silver Spring, MD or elsewhere outside the Beltway and certainly not inner DC) who are prominent in the “community”.

This is beyond ridiculous quasi-governmental (Smithsonian is supported in great part by massive govt. money) manipulation of the truth, for a false purpose.

It’s become a Shroudie.

[SECURE AMERICA]

This is just wrong. You people are sick and as far from being Americans as possible.............

[Organic Panic]

I would like to see stroller in which a white baby was shot in the face by black thugs. You want to talk about race relations in the age of Obama, let us talk about race in the age of Obama. And while we are at it how about the photos of Zimmerman’s bloddied head in the museum of modern art.

ONLY IF YOU OBTAIN SENATOR “SHEETS” BYRD’S KKK UNIFORM AND DISPLAY IT AT THE SAME EXACT LOCATION!

[PeterPrinciple]

Can any one say incompetence?

[longfellow]

They also have klinton’s underwear after the crime of RAPING JUANITA!

[BatGuano]

Thanks for including the asshole’s picture. The guy should be fired for being absolutely clueless.

My suspicions were confirmed.

[PoloSec]

Next they will want to replace the Lincoln Memorial with a statue of Saint Trayvon, wearing his hoodie, holding skittles and tea and making lean.

[Old Yeller]

No wonder his mama trademarked his name. There are millions to be made from it.
