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?

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

  31. 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!!!

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

    ReplyDelete
  33. Of course NOT!!!

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

    ReplyDelete
  34. The whole thing does not make sense to me jhor! So what do they stand to gain after? For how long will they stay there. Someone pls explain I don't understand.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I just hope no black person will stoop to this level of depravity

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think the world at large is crazy.

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

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

  40. Americans with their retard acts...

  41. 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

  42. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  43. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Do u notice its white people dat r doing dis, dumb nigerian would follow

    ReplyDelete
  45. People choose to remember the chap in anyway they feel. I bet you're the only person who thinks this is disrespectful to his memory! Sandra

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't agree with them mocking his death..prob making the jury know the evil done

    ReplyDelete
  47. What on earth??????? Very disrespectful... Is death a thing to be celebrated??? This world though!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Why are all the "Trayvoners" white?
    Methinks it's mockery

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think this usa kids should be made to understand some aspect of life. How can u joke with something like death. U can just imagine when somebody thinks of sucide the person will go ahead & commit. Pls niaja youth don't copy dis horrible habit I find it demonic

    ReplyDelete

  60. 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!

  62. "Trayvoning" some human are really stupid.
