Trayvon Martin was one of the first eye-opening wake-up calls for some people. Using his old fucking elementary school photo on the news making people think it was a kid when Martin was an adult male, deliberately editing Zimmerman's 911 call to make him sound racist, repeatedly categorizing Zimmerman as "white" when he was clearly Hispanic just to play up the "white supremacist" angle, completely covering up the fact that Martin had Zimmerman on the ground punching him in the face prior to Zimmerman shooting in self-defense, Obama going on national television and dropping his infamous "if I had a son" remark inflaming racial tension when he should have been calling for calm as the investigation played out...

Everything about the Trayvon Martin case shouted "manufactured race war".

It was just another example of the hoax of black victimization that has been going on for decades. I wasn’t surprised one bit. As soon as the case hit the media, I knew the narrative was bullshit.

Not to mention replacing his girlfriend with a completely different person, mind blowing.

I didn't know much about it back then and unfortunately took most of it at face value. Man how my perspective has changed.

All the mainstream rappers at the time were glorifying lean or sizzurp or drank on their albums.

From the Urban Dictionary-

Lean

Aka. Purple Drank.

A mixture of Jolly Ranchers, Sprite, and codeine that will get you high asf.

Gary: Aye bro imma sip on yo purple kool aid.

Tyrone: That ain't kool aid you high ass nigga.

Gary: Aw fuck , you've been trippin on lean didn't you?

Knowing Arizona Ice Tea and Skittles is an alternate mix for lean definitely changes the perspective of the media coverage.

No. The person you replied to spoke about Trayvon Martin. I gave you some information that changed my mind about the story of an innocent school boy with his Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea murdered by the white Hispanic.
