MARCH 26--The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.

Sabrina Fulton is seeking marks for the phrases “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon,” according to filings made last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In both instances, Fulton is seeking the trademarks for use on “Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring Trayvon Martin,” and other products.

[Mr. K]

Now THAT’s class...

[Steely Tom]

Exactly what any grieving mother would do.

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

Wow. From ‘mourning’ to ‘money’!

[Steely Tom]

Wonder if she got any plant.

[TexasFreeper2009]

lol

now the REAL reason for all the uproar has revealed itself.

Follow the money. As true today as it ever was.

[lucky american]

Boy when there is “real money” involved, They don’t waste any time do they?

[SuzyQue]

It’s possible that she doesn’t want them misused by someone else...

[WestwardHo]

This mother stole your name: Cold One

[Stormdog]

Is she going to get Sham Wow Vince to start pitching “Official” Trayvon hoodies?

[109ACS]

The poor lady just lost her monthly “crazy check” so she has to make up the difference some how!

[NVDave]

That pretty much seals it.

Anyone taking Martin’s side in this now looks like a goddamn fool.

[Loyalist]

Another example of death being the best career move for some people.

[UCANSEE2]

Along with Cindy Sheehan, that makes two women dancing on the coffins of their sons.

[July4]

Unreal.

[Responsibility2nd]

Maybe she also wants royalties from the sale of this t-shirt.

[trailhkr1]

Sick, sick, sick.

[Liberty Valance]

L o L !

[apillar]

Well we're movin on up,

To the east side.

To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

Movin on up

To the east side.

We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;

Beans don't burn on the grill.

Took a whole lotta tryin'

Just to get up that hill.

Now we're up in teh big leagues

Gettin' our turn at bat.

As long as we live, it's you and me baby

There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Well we're movin on up,

To the east side.

To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

Movin on up

To the east side.

We finally got a piece of the pie.

[mac_truck]

Its all about da benjamins!

[Tennessee Nana]

Yeah real loving Momma...

[Texan5]

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that she didn’t come up with this callous idea on her own-it sounds more like something “reverend” Sharpton or his coterie of race-baiting vultures would invent to keep the money rolling in.

[opentalk]

Interesting, ..she applied a week ago

Rush said this happened a month ago, wonders why all the attention now.

This seems like an Axelrod control the media move... People were talking more about the gas prices under Obama.

I would bet someone like Van Jones..color for change is helping her, to spread a movement.

[Steely Tom]

Maybe she heard from Jay-Z over the weekend.

[Pollster1]

It’s possible that she doesn’t want them misused by someone else...

Your explanation is plausible, not the only possible explanation but one that does not require twisting logic or our knowledge of human nature. Just as I hope that people would wait for the facts before judging Zimmerman, I hope that we will wait and see before judging the mother.

[databoss]

Cha-ching!!! $$$

Don’t you just love the smell of American free enterprise in the mourning? Smells like victory!!!

[Responsibility2nd]

Maybe - if the New Black Pampers Party gets their wish and Zimmerman is killed - maybe some of the $10,000 bounty money can go to the grieving mother.

No objections to blood money, I’m sure.

[Jeff Chandler]

They aught to arrest HER for giving the boy that name.

[Jonty30]

I wouldn’t read too much into it. My guess is that she’s acting on her lawyer’s advice more than anything else.

That’s how I read it.

Probably to solicit donations to defray lawyer expenses and prevent others from profitting off this situation.

[TsonicTsunami08]

Bottom dwellers of the lowest order!
I mean, the kid was on ice for 3 days at the morgue before
his loving next of kin reported him missing!
These Peep’s is effffffed up!

[Malone LaVeigh]

Does Obama get a cut of the royalties for his endorsement?

[Sacajaweau]

We’re now into the “reparations” phase. We’ll probably find out that he was going to be a rocket scientist and the future sole support of his parents, girlfriends, boyfriends, cousins, nieces, nephews....and two pitbulls.

[CodeToad]

Nothing says “motherly love” like trying to make money on your dead son.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Damn I wish I thought of that.

[Godwin1]

Any heartbroken mother would do the same......

[Responsibility2nd]

The family has suffered a servere loss of funds since @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA was killed and his dope dealing income died with him.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s possible that she doesn’t want them misused by someone else...

Very open-minded of you to think of that, and it is quite possible.

My best guess would be that the family was assigned a lawyer by the arms of the DNC/CBC and that the lawyer advised the family to apply for the trademark patents.

Sharpton or his coterie of race-baiting vultures would invent to keep the money rolling in.

Booker T. Washington had Sharpton Dullton et al pegged long ago:

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the
troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the
public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their
troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their
wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.

[forgotten man]

Now she can pay Zimmerman for his medical bills caused by her son.

[databoss]

[dfwgator]

I guess now they need to also hold a bag of pot.

[dfwgator]

You gotta love capitalism.

[SuzyQue]

Since I don’t know any of those things, an open mind is the only reasonable way to go, IMHO.
