Even the Skittles are a lie. Trayvon's dad Tracy was still married to his mother. They split up a few weeks before he was killed. Tracy (Trayvon's dad) was already sleeping with another married woman who lived in that townhome with her 14 year old son. He wasn't Trayvon's brother. He wasn't watching an NBA game with his dad, the two boys were home alone. Tracy and his girlfriend were in Orlando having dinner.
Trayvon didn't just have the one brother, btw. His dad has four or five kids from different moms. Some younger than Trayvon (not Trayvon's mom's kids, other women, remember they were still married and had just split).
Why the Skittles?
"Trayvon, with his hoodie up, grabs two items from the shelves of 7-11. One is the Skittles. The other is Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail. The media avoid the name of the real drink -- possibly because of the racial implications of the word "watermelon," but possibly to avoid probing the real reason for Trayon's trip.
Trayvon, in fact, had become a devotee of the druggy concoction known as "Lean," also known in southern hip-hop culture as "Sizzurp" and "Purple Drank." Lean consists of three basic ingredients -- codeine, a soft drink, and candy. If his Facebook postings are to be believed, Trayvon had been using Lean since at least June 2011.
On June 27, 2011, Trayvon asks a friend online, "unow a connect for codien?" He tells the friend that "robitussin nd soda" could make "some fire ass lean." He says, "I had it before" and that he wants "to make some more." On the night of February 26, if Brandy had some Robitussin at home, Trayvon had just bought the mixings for one "fire ass lean" cocktail."
Who even knows what to believe at this point.
Was Trayvon different than most of the other black American kids raised this way? Seeing as it was his third suspension that school year, I'm thinking probably not.
