Trayvon Martin

     17-year-Old Tryavon Martin was killed walking home from the store buying a drink and skittles. He was killed because he had on a hoodie, which made him look ‘suspicious’. Organization all over the country and walks was held making a statement about racial profiling. Chuck Williams stated that, “A white boy wearing a hoodie he’s a college student, a black boy wearing a hoodie is a professional thug”. This shows that black males wearing hoodies are being judged automatically as criminals or suspicious. On Friday when I went downtown there were so many people down there. At Love Park they had protesting against hoodies being a sign. There were people wearing hoodies that said on it “Do I look suspicious?” and having skittle wrappers taped on it. I think its unfair that they didn’t arrest the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman. It is a sign of racism because people always think black males in hoodies look suspicious but white males don’t. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. It was good and nice that they held protest all over the country for Trayvon wearing a hoodie when he was killed saying he looked suspicious but people and children get killed everyday and it isn’t even paid attention to.
