I'm not saying it's racism.... but it's racism

[essentialsaltes]

The Trayvon Martin case has been kicked around the Christian forum some. Now, I wanna stipulate that most of the people there have sane viewpoints on the issue. But a few are peculiarly obstinate in their desire to not give a shit. And as their cognitive dissonance grows, they reach out for stranger and stranger things to keep themselves comfortable. To wit:

"The number one thing that totally infuriates and baffles me is that the photo picture of Trayvon Martin spread across the Media has been one of an innocent 12–13 year old boy, Not a photo of a 17 year old, which from what I’ve read Trayvon was 6’3” and 140-160 pounds and he was a football player, which means that he was probably wiry with muscles. I cannot conceive that No photos have been taken of him since he was 12-13 years old. Why the deception?"

[Speaking of photos, the one of 'Trayvon' flipping off the camera is not him, and seems to have been first promoted by Stormfront.]
