You might already have guessed this was coming. With thanks to Drudge for the link, The Smoking Gun, in its Buster section, calls it an “unfortunate t-shirt”, which has reportedly gone on sale in Florida. It’s in honor of Trayvon Martin, the seventeen year old black male whose killing is still under investigation. I have no idea who is producing and profiting from the manufacturing and sale of the merchandise, but I’m pretty sure this is not going to do anything to encourage fact-finding, reason or harmony between men and women of differing skin colors:
Expanding the definition of “cracker,” a t-shirt featuring the photo of the man who shot Trayvon Martin is now available for purchase.
As seen at right (click to enlarge), the shirt has a picture of George Zimmerman and the words “Pussy Ass Cracker.” Zimmerman, a 28-year-old Hispanic, killed Martin, 17, last month while acting as a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida.
The shirt’s “pussy ass cracker” line is apparently a reference to lyrics from the rapper Plies’s song “100 Years,” which bemoans stiff sentences handed out by racist judges.
Where’s the President, now? Where’s Eric Holder since the New Black Panthers have announced a $10,000.00 reward for the “capture” of George Zimmerman? Where are the voices of the Obama Administration calling for a full accounting of the case’s facts and allowing the investigation to follow its evidentiary course before pronouncing anyone’s guilt?
This is a nasty shirt! And everyone wonders why there is some much hate! And the funny thing is….he is not white!!!!!
Yep. And I hear this a.m. Zimmerman’s also a registered Democrat. Don’t know for sure if that’s true or not.
Thanks for reading along and posting your comment. JW
Wow! And people wonder why blacks are sterotyped! And become educated on the story Zimmerman is HISPANIC! NOT WHITE!!
Thanks, Angie. Yes, he also speaks Spanish.
Why should all Hebrews be stereotyped because of the actions of a few? If this was the case than all European people should be considered suspect. We can not make this into a them and us issue . We are all in this together. We all make mistakes. Pray for them
and move on.
This country loves to keep us divided along superficial issues in order to keep us from uniting under the most important ones…As a white guy, the word cracker doesn’t bother me at all, most people don’t understand that the term stems from slavery or more specific the slave master, who would be the whip “cracker”. Is this really news anyway? Who cares! How about the privately owned unconstitutional Federal Reserve that has total control over the money supply, that robs us through inflation and by a debt based monetary system of fractional reserve banking? How about the IRS being it’s collection agency, and all income tax revenues goes to paying the international bankers that own it? How about the unconstitutional wars being fought for the profit of the military industrial complex and it’s components (ie Halliburton, Blackwater, etc etc.). The real issues need to be exposed! The black and white thing is 200 years old, let it go whether you are black, white, or hispanic. Guess what? You are tripping over dollars to grab at pennies!
Good stuff here, John. Thanks. JW
Turns my stomach.
