I have never understood this tea and skittles thing. where did that come from? His parents or rather father and friend saying that was where he was going.
I haven’t heard that he had any tea and skittles with him.
Also ... I’m not as up on street and drug slang as I should be ... is it true that tea and skittles are code name for drugs?
The media has been exposed once again, but don’t get your hopes up (as Rush would warn). They won’t change and they don’t care.
NBC edited the 911 call to indicate that Zimmerman brought up race when he did not. the operator asked him race and he wasn’t even sure but said he thought ‘black.’
This is an all out effort to distract from the issues and from Obamanation.
From what I've been able to gather, the Sanford police chief (now stepped aside) told a Miami Herald reporter that Trayvon had a bag of skittles, a can of Arizona iced tea, and 34 cents on him at the scene. The Miami Herald did not attribute this information to the chief, it just reported it.
Martin family lawyer, Benjamin Crump, pumped up the "skittles and iced tea" meme.
There is no reliable source evidence.
Tea and Skittles is also drug culture talk for marijuana and pills.
I just found that out on a blog this morning.
I think the incident serves multiple purposes, and agree that what you say is one of them.
The issue is also being used to stoke racial division, distract from crime by blacks, enrage the black community, give an excuse to falsely claim "stand your ground" is in play (and to blame), and disarm the honest part of the public.
