Image melding Trayvon Martin and Martin Luther King turns heads 13 hrs ago As reactions to George Zimmerman's not guilty verdict push the boundaries of reason at both ends of the spectrum, the newest addition to the fray is a photo illustration of Martin Luther King Jr. wearing Trayvon Martin's now-familiar hoodie. The image, which was tweeted by civil rights activist Van Jones, has sparked mixed reactions from all sides. The comparison of Martin's senseless death to the iconic civil rights leader's lifetime of work has been criticized as racist by some and forced confused supporters into an entirely separate debate: Is weaving Trayvon Martin's story with King's legacy suitable?

Civil rights activist Van Jones.

Civil rights activist? Is that what they're calling racists nowadays? How ironic.

it was not a senseless death. gz saved himself from a punk who decided to attack him. the only thing senseless was trayvon’s attack.

trayvon is dead because of trayvon’s decision to escalate and ambush and attack another person. he didn’t stop fighting,didn’t disengage, he was going to murder gz.

blacks do not have the right to execute other people because they are pissed off they think they are not being “respected”.

Van Jones is a Communist and everything they stand for, including racism, is evil.

Skittles Boy and MLK have two things in common
The name Martin

Intellectually and philosophically they were polar opposites.

Look around at all the "civil rights activists". Jesse, Al, Farrakhan, straight down the list -- they're all racists. They seek to procure special rights for black people, and do nothing to protect the civil right of white people.

Don’t be distracted. The Federal government is going to use sleight of hand, to keep our attention focussed on riots and demonstrations like the ones in Oakland, San Francisco and elsewhere, to try and give Boehner and Cantor breathing room to force amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats. DON’T LET THEM DO THIS!!
