Second Trayvon Martin Twitter feed identified (Martin: “Plzz shoot da --- dat lied 2 u!”)
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/29/2012 | David Martosko

The Daily Caller has identified a second Twitter handle that was used by the late Trayvon Martin during the last weeks of 2011.  Tweeting in December under the name “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” Martin sent a message that read, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”

It’s unclear who Martin intended the message for, or whether he intended it to be taken literally.

The photo Martin chose to represent himself on Twitter as “T33ZY TAUGHT M3″ depicts him in a black Polo cap, looking into the camera and extending his middle finger. The photo’s file name on Twitter’s server indicates that it was taken on the afternoon of June 17, 2010.

At least one website issued a retraction this week after mistakenly linking Martin to a middle-finger-salute image on a Facebook account corresponding to a Georgia teenager who shares Martin’s name. This image, however, was uploaded to Twitter by the teen himself.

On Tuesday TheDC published 152 pages of  Martin’s Twitter activity that were retrieved using the social analytics product PeopleBrowsr.

Additional searches via the same website yielded the Twitter handle “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” whose activity spanned just one month and ended shortly before Martin began tweeting as “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA.” His Twitter activity under that newer screen name began with the tweet: “NEW NAME, NEW BACKGROUND, NEW TWEETCON, I MAKE CHANGS B4 NEW YEARS!”

Although The Daily Caller has not confirmed with Martin’s family that the earlier Twitter handle belonged to the 17-year-old, there is significant evidence for the conclusion.

A basic Google search for “@T33ZY_TAUGHT_M3″ on Wednesday indicated that corresponds to a defunct Twitter account once used by someone named “Tray.” The same name, entered into the Google Images search engine, generated the photo of Martin flipping off the camera.

Upper-arm tattoos visible in that photo match those depicted in the Trayvon Martin’s MySpace page, which TheDC has also identified. That account includes numerous features, including photos of family members, indicating that it belonged to the slain teen.

“Trayvon, it appears, had something most black boys do not have....a father in his life.”

But not a family!!! My guess is that his mother was just his “father’s baby mama.”
There is just nothing normal about the way most Blacks raise their children. Calling them African Americans is a misnomer because from what I cans see, Black Africans actually have families, unlike their progenitors here in the US.

I can believe that, the Beatles were amongst a special group in rock music. But there's nothing analogous in rap “music”.It doesn't require one to play an instrument at all, much less with virtuosity. It doesn't require that you sing melodiously, on-pitch, or sing at all.

It also doesn't require you to spell correctly.

If this was truly about the outrage of the wrongful ending of an innocent young life, the many drive-by shooting murders of babies and toddlers would be headline news. But those aren’t perpetrated by whites on black children. If it was about heinous racial crime, the murders of the elderlly couple in Oklahoma or the college couple in Tennessee or the young white boy set on fire would perfectly fit the bill. But they don’t because they don’t advance the real agenda.

I can feel the white guilt melting away. Black Panthers with the ‘wanted dead or alive’ stuff is too much. Even the MSM won’t be able to cover for that one. It’s lynch mob stuff.

Have a minor in musicology. Rap has it's parallel form in the middle ages. It just uses new electric technology. (Boy were some of their lyrics racy and are just as shocking if you run across any as the lyrics are today)

Bluegrass has more similarities to Bach then to Country Western which is similar to the ballads from the troubadours. Both are placed in the Country genre.

It may shock you, but very little of the music today requires musical aptitude. Electronic and recording has eliminated talent. AN exception to that is the band my son tours with. No electronics, just pure talent. But I digress......

It doesn't shock me, I have long believed the same thing. (It's one reason, just one, that I love bluegrass and old progressive rock. The talent required for the best of those styles is amazing)

right...I think the parents were married then divorced. I’m not sure when they split up.
So dad is now engaged.

Even so....it sounds like dad has been present.
