^Way to go conservatives!
Has the T party been successfully discarded as a racist group of people because you could find racist Obama stuff among them? Why no. Have clothing lines that are racist at Obama gotten an international outcry from the black community? Why no they haven't. Have racist shirts fot sh!ts and giggles that white people think is cute gotten major outcry from blacks? Why no they haven't. There have been many lines of racist shirts against blacks and major figures in the news like Obama who is black (for being black). Stop playing the "ho hum if it was reversed this would never happen!" nonsense or "card" as if it DOESN'T happen and with much higher profile people than Zimmerman. I can't think I could count the racist t-shirts and memorabilia against Obama and no national attention is drawn to it. I agree this shirt should be changed at least, but the people moaning about this on the link that this is somewhat unique a problem to white people don't got a clue. The fact they seem unaware of racist shirts aimed at black figures have already been done and they're speaking of it in hypothetical ("IF this were the other way around"? <-- already happens lol) smh. Blacks are the ones overly sensitive about the issue of racist memorabilia being distributed for profit? Na ah

^^ And you know what's pathetic as it is hilarious is when ConfirmedIdiot wrote the word 'cracker', took the second 'c' out and replaced it with an asterisk as if the word itself is some sort of expletive the way the word 'NIG*ER' is!! LMAO
A little historical FACT for this white idiot. The epithet 'cracker' was originally an ethnic one coined by [white] Anglo Americans for Scotch-Irish immigrants who came to the American south in the colonial days. It was only recently picked up by blacks as a pejorative for all whites. However the actual origins of the word negate its racial connotations. And no matter how much the ConfirmedNegrophobe wants it to be, 'cracker' can NEVER be as racially pejorative as 'nigger' which was coined by [white] Dutch people and adopted by other [white] peoples especially in the Americas as term to dehumanize blacks!
And definitely there are nowhere near the number of "cracker" shirts as there are "nigger" shirts or other anti-black memorabilia for that matter.

You know I could see why people would want to possibly trademark Trayvon's name. You could easily prevent memorabilia that doesn't represent the family's feelings from being used in his name (example: sh!t like this).
