Do we have a source for this? I'd like to be able to post it should it pop up on my feed. I don't, generally, have racist asshats on my feed, but you never know.
Even if it was him, it doesn't automatically make him effing suspicious. (not directed at you, but this idiotic bs.)

Here's on article, but let me see if I can find something a little more "mainstream"

I've been looking around for this so I can smack this dude down, I found this.

If that bottom right picture actually was Trayvon, you'd think it would at least put to bed the notion that Zimmerman was only defending himself against a dude who was bashing his head in. That kid is skinny as fuuk and both the Zimmerman pics show the man didn't miss many meals.
Click me, click me!

Good enough for me.
That goes for brown people too. My Mexican husband was walking to the restroom when we were out to dinner once & some old lady handed him her plate. You know, b/c he must have been the busboy.
People suck.

Also, that bottom pic is something my stupid ass brother would post. And yet the kid has never been in a fight in his entire life, never committed a crime, never threatened anyone, never been the aggressor. But all black men are scary, yo.

Followed by a transcription here, yes? Because I would need to see that.
Well, that makes sense because we all know that a man in a suit and wearing a smile can't possibly be a racist pig/murderer.
Of course! I will even post a link if possible. F*ck whoever posts this sh*t. I don't even care if it's one of my family members (unlikely considering none of them seem to be assclowns, but you never know).
If my MIL is on facebook, I could see her posting it. Unfortunately (or fortunately) she is not. We haven't talked about this yet, but she's the worst kind of racist - she thinks she's not one.
So here is the transcript of how it's going down. I have yet to respond to the last guy b/c well, my head is numb from the stupid. (I've changed the names but left the typos.)

I think the kid in the photo is actually named Trayvon Martin, but he's like 20 or something. In any case, he's not the CORRECT Trayvon Martin.
I haven't seen that yet, but I'd unfriend anyone who posted it. I'd figure that person and I don't have anything in common.
For serious. Have we all seen this:

Have you seen the show House of Lies? There's a scene where the main character, a big shot management consultant played by Don Cheadle, is in front of a hotel when a guy gets out of his Porsche and gives his keys to him. Because obviously, he's black, so he must be the valet. So Don Cheadle takes the car and drives off with it.
I haven't seen it but that's awesome. Too bad the woman didn't hand my husband her untouched plate of lobster & caviar, haha.

I was hoping it wouldn't, but this finally popped up on my feed. Ugh. I pointed out that the picture wasn't even of Trayvon and got this in response:
"I think a lot of the information regarding this situation is incorrect...my point being don't let the media be your only source of information."
Instead, let racist Facebook memes be your only source of information!
Stupid Facebook memes put forth BY THE MEDIA!
