According to Geraldo Riveria of the Fox News Network, Trayvon Martin may still be alive today, had he worn different clothing the night he was murdered. The Fox employee equally blamed Martin’s hoodie for the killing, as he the killer, George Zimmerman.
“I believe,” he shared, “that George Zimmerman, the overzealous neighborhood watch captain, should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law and if he is criminally liable, he should be prosecuted. But I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”
Although there are many preconceived notions and misconceptions about blacks and other minorities, casting blame on the outfit of the 17 year old murder victim is part of the problem we face as a society. The problem is not our clothing – we take pride is considering ourselves a “free” country. The problem is ignorance and bigotry, and the apparent willingness by some – especially those in the media – to foster that ignorance.
Trayvon Martin wasnt killed because of a hoodie, he was killed because George Zimmerman thought he was better than Trayvon. George Zimmerman looked down on Trayvon and saw something he despised and it wasn’t a hoodie… it was a color… the color of Trayvon’s skin… black.

There's nothing off limits for them. They will attack anyone and anything. They are on a constant degrading of our morals… or what we have left.
