The connection to Trayvon Martin, re: Skittles didn't even occur to me.

[onehandle]

Just saw that mentioned on Twitter.

A white supremacist/gun nut twofer.

The Trump Klan need to cut to the chase and don their sheets.

1. Clearly, Trump is doubling down on racism

He's all in... and there is no doubt.
Yes all that's missing are the pointy hats and burning crosses.
I hope America knows what to do
with this shithead on election day.

2. It was the first thing I thought.

The Skittles/Trayvon Martin connection was the first thing I thought; the continued denigration of Trayvon's memory and the snide and cruel racist memes that go along with it.

Donald Jr. has an affinity and admiration of the alt-right and white supremacy. He is a sniveling little man, just like his father.

3. The Trump strategy team is meeting today

to pick a slogan for the home stretch of the campaign.

"We Got Yer Racism Right Here" is said to be an active consideration, along with "Yes We Klan."

[crazylikafox]

15. "Yes we Klan" would make a great bumper sticker

over TRUMP/Pence

On the other hand, maybe not. It might actually help him.

16. Frightening, but yes -- the Trump-Pence

supporters would take it as encouragement.

4. Never hit me either. Jeebus. n/t

[saltpoint]

5. Noting Trump's recent praise for both

Zimmerman and Christie.

Entourage of Deplorables.

The Trump campaign seems to be attracting the wrong element.

6. Sick F'kn racists they are! I despise the Trump Klan.

7. Can someone post the original Skittles comment to help

...to help give this thread some background info for us news deficient readers?

[pinboy3niner]

12. That works.

Thanks pin boy!

8. Didn't occur to me either until I googled it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. It immediately popped into my mind. nt

[pinboy3niner]

17. Same here, having carried Skittles in Justice for Trayvon marches. nt

11. The racist meme originated with Nazis comparing Jews to poison mushrooms, then it was M&Ms ....

And after the Martin mirder it became Skittles.
They hate the idea of the "rainbow" as well.

13. trumps son teaches the USA what his white supremacist groups call 'not-whites'.

The candy corp. should sue him.

[niyad]

14. the sheets haven't been shipped from china yet.

[eShirl]

18. ah.. he used "skittles" in place of the "n" word

[LeftInTX]

19. Skittles make me think of Lilly Singh

She's a viral YouTube star. Who loves Skittles.


(Sorry I didn't get the Trayvon connection right away, but I thought of Lilly. Lilly is the daughter of immigrants)

20. It's much worse than we imagine...

I knew about the alt-right Skittles dog whistle and the Trayvon connection
that the racist Trump team was tapping into... but didn't expect that
they were going full gas chamber NAZI ... here, read this deplorable bit of
history and come to your own conclusion. Me, I'm stunned, horrified.
