Trayvon Martin’s hoodie became a nationwide symbol following his fatal shooting, and now the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History wants the original.

The museum’s director, Lonnie Bunch, said Mr. Martin’s hoodie, the one he was wearing the night of his death on Feb. 26, 2012, represents a unique opportunity to further the discussion about race in America, The Washington Post reported.

I wonder if they would like the skittles and ice tea as well.

Once upon a time we held treasures for future generations: Edison’s lightbulb, the space capsule, the Wright brothers’ plane.

Today we save Pam Anderson’s boobs and Trayvon’s hoodie.

Very symbolic of Obamaland eh?

Methinks the director needs to find another line of work...

[SADMILLIE]

He should be removed. Trayvon was a thug who viciously attacked an innocent Neighborhood Watch hero. Adios Trayvon.

"Because it’s such a symbol, it would allow you to talk about race in the age of Obama.” . . . He also has his eye on the hoodie that Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, wore in solidarity with protesters . . .

Your taxpayer dollars at work. A whole museum filled with this type of s___t run by this lunatic.

It’s sad to watch what this country is becoming.

This post is missing a mega hurl alert. Or a satire alert. Something isn’t right the way it is.

The museum’s director, Lonnie Bunch. I was really surprised to discover that he is black. /s

“It’s sad to watch what this country is becoming.”

It has gone on for decades; outside of personal aquaintances/co-workers I could care less for anyone that isn’t from one of my “tribes”.

The Smithsonian goes Gansta...!

It WAS NOT iced tea!

Yeah...more evidence of heading straight into the shitter...

The high holy shroud of Saint Skittles.

Fat chance they'll get it for free. I hear that Trayvon franchises are going for $750,000. :)

The tragedy is nothing to laugh about but the civil rights industry and victims industry are making this into a circus.

A whole museum

Its just a broom closet.

The Shroud of Trayvon.
Blacks will treat it with a quasi-religious reverence. Miracles will be said to occur in its presence, and invocations with be offered up before it using chalices filled with Arizona Watermelon drink.

Supposedly this racist POS director wants it for the ghetto wing or Afro American wing of the Smithsonian so most probably it will end up at the section where whites have no intention of looking at.
