Trayvoning? WTH?

First there was planking, then owling, then Tebowing, now there's a Trayvoning? Wow!

Trayvoning is where you wear a hoodie and lay on the floor posing as if you are dead, with a bag of Skittles, and an Arizona Iced Tea next to your body, and photograph it. There's even Facebook page where people can post pictures of themselves "Trayvoning".

Kinda disrespectful to the memory of Trayvon Martin. Looks like they're mocking his death. What do you think?

Extremely immature and racist. Noticed only white people doing this. They are just advertising skittles and the iced tea for free.

Of cos its very disrespectful and its only wat a liil kid wld think of doing........smh.....rubbish!!

babeontop said...

No Linda, it is an act of respect for his memory and to bring more awareness to profiling of any kind. If Tebowing isn't disrespectful, why would you insinuate that this one is...haba to you!!!

mrs B. said...

I agree with you totally! Lindo, what is the meaning of this painful mockery? eh?

Boston Berry said...

Of course NOT!!!

They are sending a message depicting the life of a black boy in America.

I think the world at large is crazy.

Legendkid said...

Not good. Not good. But i think people who are doing that are some wasted....

Anonymous said...

Rather than mocking his death, I think that it is the exact opposite that they are doing.At a time when a Tv journalist in the US reportedly made a comment that Trayvon's hoodie, rather than the bullet from his killer's gun, might have been responsible for Trayvon's death, the hoodie movement has arisen as a defiance to that illogical reasoning.

I agree wid u Lindalistic lindalolo, nd if dtz actually dia intents den d hav to watch out cz death knocks on d door of evry man nd dia own manner of death wil def be worst. Simja

I think it's very disrespectful. This Trayvon thing is getting outta hand.
George Zimmerman should do some jail time for his death and people should move on.

Oce said...

Theres something all these people have in common, they are WHITE! A black person would not dare attempt such, because this is a very touchy issue.

I don't think it is disrespectful. It is a way of people the injustice of his death and the handling/mishandling of the the case. Stuff like this needs to happen otherwise the case will shutter down with nothing being done.

Obviously! Can't you see they are all whites?......olumayo

its all for awareness... so we dont forget what happened.

MAXIMUS said...

Abeg all of you should park well joh! There's nothing disrespectful about it. They are trying to keep Trayvon's story alive so the message doesn't get lost in the storm. Which is "Trayvon was just a young innocent black boy who had with on him skittles and soda but was mistaken for a hood rat".
Keep Trayvoning guys! Let's keep hope alive and fight for justice

And for those of you saying its only white people, erm the guy in the 3rd picture must really look white to you. Blind goats!
