Trayvon Martin
“A hooded sweatshirt can make an innocent teen look like a criminal — just like a suit and glasses can make Geraldo Rivera look like a journalist.” — Stephen Colbert
*****
A lot of the prominent Fox contributors of color make people comfortable with their insensitive attitudes; don’t be one of them. You’re always playing your stripes of having been an activist, which has inspired me throughout the years, don’t now try to play to cheap seats. It’s like telling women not to wear skirts because they could get raped. That’s what you just did. It’s freaking horrible. It’s inexcusable. And you’re my friend, my friend for many years. I have a great amount of respect for you, but zero respect for your apology and for what you said.
Hoodies Up.
Justice For Trayvon!
-Russell Simmons
