An image of Martin Luther King Jr. in a hoodie similar to the one Trayvon Martin wore the night he was shot by George Zimmerman has gone viral in support of the teen after a Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter. But at least one member of King's family said she doesn't like the image.

The mainstream media has these low info voters like puppets on a string. and the media has many conservatives (on here too) also like puppets on a string focusing on this Trayvon circus bs, one out of thousands of deaths, not even a crime etc.

MLK’s spawn aren’t happy because they want a revenue-sharing deal

Shall we start a pool on how long it will be before we see Obama wearing a hoodie at a presser?

The MSM has but one agenda. Divide America and make their elite owners all powerful.

They pit one average American against another while their elite owners count their profits and money and power.

MLK would never wear a hoodie. He was a well-educated man who always appeared in public in a coat and tie, well-groomed. He does not compare to a kid who sprays graffiti, “somehow” comes into possession of stolen goods and gets school suspensions.

It got out of hand as soon as they filed charges against George. All the didiot trayvonistas toting signs “we are trayvon”, are liars. If they were “st. t” they would be lying on the ground with a hole in their chest. If they are talking about before his demise then they are thieving punks high on weed or some purple drank.

I don’t recall ever having seen any reports of MLK straddling *anyone*...black,white,brown,yellow or red....and beating the tar out of him/her.

Why not make him look ominous. The progressives don’t respect anything he said or stood for.

There are enough racial chips on (mostly black) shoulders today to fill a Frito-Lay factory.

Well, what could have been expected out of Barack Obama? Because of the color of his POLITICS, the color of his SKIN has become an ugly factor which never needed to be. You’d not be seeing hysteria like this if, say, Herman Cain had become president.

Well, right off the bat, I’d say one difference is they show one of those 17-yr-old victims as a 17-yr-old. And it ain’t Trayvon.

Barf. Even when MLK was sprayed by fire hoses and attacked by hounds he never fought back. Drevon attacked a man for no reason just because he found him creepy.

I believe MLK would wear a hoodie. Back in the 60’s, he was on the right/moral side. Now that the laws have been changed, I think he would succumb to the black racist mentality of the current leaders and the current black culture.
