This is an absolute outrage! We are NOT all Trayvon Martins because we are not all thugs! If the so-called "artist" wishes to align herself with a thug, she has the right to do that, but does not have a right to speak for everyone else. I hope her "art" is destroyed beyond repair.

For those who do not get it, "WE ARE ALL TRAYVON" means a person minding his own business and then he/she was profiled and killed.

That is all it is.

A baby minding her own business just crawling back to the crib, that baby was profiled and killed.

A teen girl minding her own business just biking home, that teen girl was profiled and killed.

A business man minding his own business just driving home, that business man was profiled and killed.

A wife minding her own business just going to the grocery store, that wife was profiled and killed.

A road construction worker minding his own business just going to the water fountain to get a drink, that worker was profiled and killed.

A college student minding her own business just walking to the library, that student was profiled and killed.

Even a racist minding his own business just going to get gas, that racist was profiled and killed.

A disabled person minding his own business just going to the restroom, that disabled person was profiled and killed.

If you don't get it, then you are dumbo.

Natasha Martinez, 17 was followed and killed.

Joseph Brewer. 16 was followed and killed.

Trayvon Martin, 17 was followed, stood his ground (although apparently did not have right to SYG from an armed stalker because he is
