What is happening to Trayvon Martin is no less than a posthumous lynching [View all]

It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach to see the character assassination that is currently going on with Trayvon Martin.

Trayvon Martin didn't do anything different than what many young kids his age do. So he got in trouble every now and then. So he used the word "nigga" as part of his Twitter handle. WHO CARES. None of what has been coming out in the media over the past few days is relevant in any sense whatsoever. It doesn't change the fact that he was minding his own business, unarmed, and was shot by an armed overzealous racist vigilante.

What is going on now is nothing less than a posthumous lynching, stereotyping young Trayvon as a scary black thug, as if somehow that would excuse Zimmerman's actions.
