[green73]

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Parents were upset after Carrick High School approved a plan to have a Trayvon Martin theme day during the school’s homecoming.

The homecoming committee, and school voted and approved the theme which is part of school spirit week.

Parents were upset that kids were being encouraged to wear hoodies to school during the Wednesday theme.

Parents need to get a grip.

If this is an issue for the kids in their community then that's just how it is.

[MRK]

Kid-governments are always going to do silly things. Not a big deal in my opinion.

So can the kids who support Zimmerman wear a gun?

WHOA! - a school district is having a beat up a black kid day???

What a refreshing change from all the PC crap being shoved down kids throats by the state...

:rolleyes:

You owe me a keyboard!

I just. Don't. Get. This.

Shitbags like Trayvon and Mumia Abu-Jamal are elevated to demigodhood, and the only black man I've seen mention Aiyana Jones is Will Grigg, who, and let's be fair, is the whitest-talking black man west of the Mississippi.

What the fuck are they thinking?

Will Grigg is half Mexican, half Irish. :)

You just pushed me over 2,000 rep points :D TY!

On keyboards, get one that is mechanical. That is, has a spring under each key. Cybercafe's use um because you can put them in the dishwasher. Failing that, find a keyboard condom. Yes, they really exist and are as gross as they sound.

What the fuck are they thinking?

They're intercity kids, who knows?

[tangent4ronpaul]

I can see this turning into a race riot sooooo easily!

It would actually be great if it did. The school district would get mud on their faces w/ some serious blowback and it would serve as a warning to every other school that keeps pushing this BS.

I'll be damned, wiki says Hawaiian/Cherokee/Basque/Irish descent.

The point stands - the "black community" gets all up in arms over cop killers, and turns a blind eye when 7-year-old girls are murdered in cold blood by buffoons in state costumes.

That's weird. He told me he is half and half.

Well another point to be mentioned is that the murder of Aiyana Jones wasn't played day in and day out over the airwaves nor did black pundits particularly care to even mention it.

The community in Detroit no doubt cares about her murder.

Or maybe if the school banned something the kids voted on it would lead to even more tension.

Don't hope for race riots - they're not coming.

is this where everybody cuts school, does drugs, woos fat chicks, brandishes weapons on twitter, and beats up fat, self-proclaimed minority-caucasians?

Classy :rolleyes:

[familydog]

Carrick High School did this last year. Weird how no one complained then.

[Lucille]

Oh, FFS.

How come no Kathryn Johnston or Aiyana Jones Day? They are more deserving than that little punk and wannabe gangsta.

[BlackTerrel]

Oh, FFS.

How come no Kathryn Johnston or Aiyana Jones Day? They are more deserving than that little punk and wannabe gangsta.

And the homecoming committee you're on can vote on that.

What is the issue here?

Students at this school care abut Trayvon Martin - that is there right.

[Danke]

This has to be the stupidest thing I've read in a while. Celebrating a thug in a hoddie.

Can a school have a George Zimmerman Day?

[Danke]

No, that would be racist.

God damn do you not get it man. He was a kid like a lot of other kids. You never stuck your middle finger in the air when you were a kid? Fuck - I do it now.

Doesn't mean you deserve to die.

If this was a white kid people wouldn't be as soon to apply the "thug" label. Maybe he'd be a "rebel". Never a thug.

[BlackTerrel]

Have at it Hoss. You want to honor him be my guest.

Why the hate towards kids you know nothing about?

[Danke]

No he had a history, read the link I posted about him.

I did some crazy shit when I was younger, but I did not physical assault a grown man.

[Danke]

A rebel does not look for a fight against a grown man who is armed. He had plenty of time to be at his uncle apt. Read the link. But he chose to come back and fight.

[satchelmcqueen]

if this happened at my kids school, id wear this pic on a shirt as i walked him into school. i cant find the link but there is a site dedicated to all the bias and lies against zimmerman by the media and such. martin was a thug plain and simple. i cannot believe that not 1 person who voted this in didnt research this issue more. wait....yes i can believe it. at my school they still teach that on 911 that only 2 buildings fell. then proceed with the official story and the whole class room cries. Mericah and mutha fuckin bald eagles!

Why did you fail to quote the most important part of the article?


After getting numerous complaints, the school now says the theme has been cancelled.

That is an UNKNOWN. Only Zimmerman's word says this.

[enhanced_deficit]

Will they have Miriam Carey day too?

Even the jury said there wasn't enough evidence for anything so they couldn't convict.

[Danke]

Exactly. so what is your point?

[Ender]

Exactly. so what is your point?

What's yours? If you agree to the jurors statement then you agree that there is insufficient evidence about Trayvon as well as Zimmerman.

AND- I am not going into another big hoopla over this case- been there, done that.

Over and Out.

[Danke]

I thought I made my point clear. They dropped the case against Zimmerman because he was the victim in the attack.

Or a Miriam Carey day.

:rolleyes:


The only minority on the all-female jury that voted to acquit George Zimmerman said today that Zimmerman "got away with murder" for killing Trayvon Martin and feels she owes an apology Martin's parents.

"You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty," said the woman who was identified only as Juror B29 during the trial. "But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence."

She said the jury was following Florida law and the evidence, she said, did not prove murder.

I just want to pinch his cheeks!

p.s.
Is that a gold grill?

I'm signed up for the Purple Drank Workshop.

And the homecoming committee you're on can vote on that.

Why do they care? They wouldn't even know who Martin was if that demagoguing son-of-a-bitch in the WH didn't politicize the incident. "He could be my son."

I find it not only sad, but tragic, that black people have to be saddled with that Narcissistic asshole as the first black president. He will go as one of the worst presidents in American history (and that's really saying something).

For the record, I think wannabe cop Zimmerman deserves no accolades or attention either. The emotional energy and finite time that has been wasted on those two losers is just unbelievable to me, especially when there are far more deserving people.
