There is so much sound and fury, self-justified white defensiveness, and other insanity in every Trayvon Martin thread (YOU WEREN’T THERE MAN, HOW DO YOU KNOW?), that I just want to make it clear where I stand. And here it is:
If Trayvon Martin had been a white kid wearing ipod earbuds instead of a hoodie, he would be playing xbox right now with his friends. Maybe even smoking a joint and eating skittles. And what the fuck is your problem with that?
Period. End of story. When one of you can come up with a compelling argument otherwise, or can link to hundreds of stories of white kids being gunned down by cops or vigilantes, I’ll retract that statement. Until then, all I can say is you need to pull your head out of your ass.
Oscar Grant says “hi!”, also, too.
