According to the last telephone call Trayvon Martin did he described that he was being followed by a "crazy and creepy" man watching him from a car.
Actually, as you probably know, Martin's exact words were "creepy-ass cracker," which on top of everything else proves that Martin was the biggest racist in the whole case. Quote mining? lol

Actually, according to her testimony she did describe him as crazy and creepy. And yes, Rachel Jeantel did say he used the exact phrase "creepy-ass cracker" too. She also didn't think it was offensive and used the term jokingly to describe several people.
Personally I think, as a white Cisgender man, we need to get of our high horse. Even the white lower class has higher income rates than the black lower class. And the black middle-class has several times less than the white middle-class.
Then topping of with a racial slur insinuating that you're essentially white trash? Yeah, if you can't deal with being several times richer than the minority population you got yourself an identity problem.
Also, I think "creepy-ass" would probably be pejorative enough. Unless you're describing some creepy-ass dude who actually starts to chase. Which he did. Following that with 'cracker' sounds pretty harmful.
And, still, I don't think either being racist or calling someone cracker (or the N-word, for that matter) is something that should get you killed. -

So blacks being racist and attacking, robbing, raping, and murdering whites and others is okay because they make more money than blacks? Do I understand you correctly? Uncuck thyself, goof.

Uh, no. You're reading into much into what I said. If being called "cracker" really sets you of you must be suffering from really low self-esteem or have an identity crisis.
Hell, the term even originates from 1783 and Benjamin Franklin used the word in his memoirs: "a race of runnagates and crackers, equally wild and savage as the Indian". At this point in time whites still owned slaves too. So, yeah, you take a stab at what word is most loaded. -

He had no criminal record
False. Trayvon had a juvenile record. And while that record is sealed and we may never know what was in it, my educated guess is that it was lil ghetto thug stuff like burglary, theft, assault, and drug crimes and that it was lengthy.
and on the night in question he was carrying skittles and a fruit juice beverage.
Sweet innocent wittle Trayvon. Saint Skittles. Please give it a rest. You might be foolish enough to believe the nonsense you are saying, but nobody else is.

Say, what? Yeah, I know you're accusing the media of lying and what not. But they explicitly wrote that he had no criminal record. However he was on suspension for marijuana. But, yet again, no charges filed.

According to your own judicial system everyone is innocent until proven guilty. So, yeah, I'll think I keep at it. -

What was proven? Trayvon Martin was never on trial. George Zimmerman was charged and tried for second-degree murder. Just because Zimmerman was acquitted doesn't mean Trayvon Martin deserved to die. But I guess it helps you sleep at night to view the world in black and white?

What was proven: George Zimmerman's innocence, Trayvon Martin's guilt of aggravated assault and battery with intent to create bodily harm and possibly even attempted murder. No wiseguy Trayvon was not on trial because they don't prosecute dead people, but the truth of that night certainly did emerge from the proceedings.

Please, tell me how you can not prosecute dead people and still declare that they're guilty of a crime?
It's also interesting that no less than three times did Zimmerman refuse hospital treatment for his aggravating injuries. Yes, yes, I'm fully aware that actually sustaining injuries isn't even needed for the self-defense plea.
Also: Even Zimmerman himself acknowledged that he tried to confront Martin upon which he started running. Now, if you have a Skittles and a Fruit Juice and are being followed by a man potentially (and he was) carrying a gun. For all intents and purpose Martin might have believed that Zimmerman posed a public threat. Just like Zimmerman though of Martin. Bottom line: It wasn't exactly an unprovoked, out of the blue totally unrelated assault which "some" make it out to be. The same right-wing pundits that's trying to make a case that victims of mass shootings should have ganged up on the shooter.
Also worth noting is that we've since the trial seen Zimmerman retweet images of Martin's dead body, essentially bragging about his deed and also tried to auction of the gun he used as a piece of American history. And these despicable actions comes from the guy whose words the court trusted when he said Martin subsequently attacked him. -

To focus on what actually happens on the show, what happened to the kid - getting roughed up because the police was frustrated and because a cop died is easily possible and has most certainly happened. You're choosing to think that kid was supposed to represent Trayvon. If he was supposed to represent Trayvon I doubt they would've chosen a black cop to do it. Also, people in hoodies stereotyped, particularly black people, as being bad or criminals has been around for around even before the Trayvon Martin case. Just like someone having a bunch of tattoos, it's a stereotype that they're rough. The show isn't anti-media at all, it is anti-corruption; hence the corrupts cops and corrupt politician. The one reporter character wasn't playing ball with Mariah.
As far as Method Man rapping, most black people (and decent people of any race) see Martin as a victim, since it's a fact he was a kid who was walking home and being followed by a grown man who had a gun. Zimmerman shouldn't have been following/hunting him, that wasn't his job. If it was his job then he probably would've gotten some training and knew how to fight rather than starting a fight, getting beat up by a teenager, then having to shoot his way out of a fight. Anyone defending Zimmeran is a POS. The guy showed no remorse, went on tour like he was a celeb, visited the factory where they made the gun, and beats his girl, SMH.

It is at least as much a fact that George Zimmerman was viciously attacked by a drugged up tattooed burglary suspect.

There was a fight and Zimmerman started losing it. If he had never followed/stalked Martin the two never would've interacted and they'd both be fine, rather than one of them dead and the other person hated. Going by what you've said in this thread and on this forum seems like someone who is bright enough to like Futurama wouldn't be so hateful and small-minded, but I guess not.

You Trayvonista tards keep saying "stalked" lol. So Trayvon and George were a romantic item? Nobody was stalked, silly. Trayvon ran off then came back when the cops didn't show up and decided to jump Zimmerman for "dissing" him. And he got smoked for
it in a 100% legal manner. The end.

You need to crack open a dictionary for the first time in your life. We all know what "irony" is and it's not applicable here. Trayvon was stalked by a man who has delusions of grandeur, hates black people and has proven multiple times since Trayvon's death that he should be behind bars for life. He is a menace to society and it says a lot about AmeriKKKa that he could stalk a teenager, attack him and then kill him because the boy dared to defend himself. "Stand Your Ground" doesn't work for black people, apparently.
I've said this to another poster here: Luke Cage isn't for you. -

Do you honestly believe all that nonsense or are you a parrot that escaped da hood? Instead of dismantling everything you wrote, just scroll through the earlier comments from myself and others for a reality check, homeboy.

Perhaps, you should "crack open" the evidence to this case, as absolutely everything you stated was demonstrably proven false at trial. The vast majority of the narrative that was pushed in the media was false. The evidence is available. Feel free to view it for your clarity.
Also, as it is apparent that you failed to glean this from my original post, the irony exists in the fact that the show highlighted how easily a community can be manipulated by the media and persons in power presenting a less-than-accurate narrative void of pertinent information. Then, the show promotes and propagates the "good boy" narrative of Martin, itself a less-than-accurate narrative supported by false and misinformation as spread to the black community (indeed the American public) by the media and persons in power.
Notice that you STILL think that "Trayvon was stalked by a man who has delusions of grandeur [who] hates black people." You STILL believe that Zimmerman "stalked a teenager, attacked him and then killed him because the boy dared to defend himself." Are you daft??? Where did you get this nonsense? Even the "girlfriend" Jeantel (who was on the phone with Martin at the time) testified AT TRIAL that Martin had made it back home and then WENT BACK OUT to confront Zimmerman. BUT, you are so brainwashed by what you were told in the media and by persons in power that, even though a key witness tells you otherwise, you won't believe what they tell you!
Irrespective of your views of the Martin-Zimmerman case, if you fail to see and acknowledge the massive amount of deception that was pushed throughout this case, then there is no hope for you.
Stand up. Hook up. Shuffle to the door.
