Think about it. White men in the USA are basically seen as the ideal. So the idea of the ideal doing something horrifying just does not compute for a lot of people. So they have to make them ‘bad’. Bring up how they’re actually technically mixed race or invent some non-existent disability or…

Things like racism are institutionalized. You might not know any bigots. You feel like “well I don’t hate black people so I’m not a racist,” but you benefit from racism.

We need to talk about these things in order for them to change.

My heart just shattered.
Just when I thought I was done crying over this. My god, he’s so extra handsome in that last one.
Fuck you, Zimmerman, and all you racists who have protected/ apologized for him. Just… fuck you.
All those people who are saying that his school picture doesn’t show “the real Trayvon” and that people are making him seem “more innocent” than he really was… look at this. Look at this.
