It’s hard to imagine there’s more to say about Trayvon Martin’s death …

That’s because any more is purely imaginary. Enough imaginary stuff has been said already, besides.

I’m still haunted by the few details that made it into public discussion, in particular the fact that he’d recently been suspended from school—an event black boys are three times as likely to experience as their white peers.

Sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one.

Maybe it is the same reason black men are three times as likely to be in prison.

Maybe they are both three times as likely to be thugs.

He was found with stolen goods and burglary tools in his school backpack and that wasn’t even the main reason for his suspension.
