And the girl standing in the middle isn't much either. She seems pretty attractive to me. Yeah, the chick is pretty hot, actually!!!

Bad taste! It's in pure bad taste. And blackface--well, those folks are out to offend someone!
I believe Trayvon was a Robo-dosing punk that assaulted a neighborhood watchman, who though of questionable character was doing nothing to deserve assault, and that watchman eliminated a budding violent crook and did the world a favor. And media exploited it to sell ad time, regardless of truth or social costs.
But I still think this is poor taste- death, even of a POS, is still death, and should be respected.
Is it racist? Possibly..but absolutely callous and rude!

Very poor taste, IMHO done strictly for the shock value...and it worked.

Not sure. You're a mom so not a guy. Your lucky day! Maybe you should be sure of something before you post it. Of course, then we might never hear from you, and that would be unfortunate.

Or that one person could be Al or Jesse or Louie in which case it really doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong. Just keep those donations coming in. Isn't wrong in the eye of the beholder? But yes many have been become rich thru politics. Wrong is not in the eye of the beholder. If that were true then everyone would operate under their own set of laws. Society can't and doesn't work that way.

Or: drive much ?

I saw that, but it was not blackface. She actually dressed up like the character from the show. Blackface is a deliberate look to exaggerate a black persons characteristics. She was dressed up to actually look like the character. I think it is a huge difference.

She was dressed up to actually look like the character. I think it is a huge difference. My opinion is that black makeup (or white makeup, for black people) is not, by itself, racist. It depends on intent, behavior, who you're imitating, and other such things. But, then, joefriday assures me that my definition of racism is not inclusive enough - I'm told it's far more places than I see it.

I don't think the word means what he thinks it means.

I went to a black church on Tuesday night. There was a black kid there painted up in white face. I was not offended.

Several factors indicate that he was a thief and he had a history of violence.

Several factors indicate that he was a thief and he had a history of violence. Several other factors lead some to believe the stuff he was carrying was part of a cheap, urban concoction that would exacerbate that violent tendency.
