REPORTERS INSENSITIVE QUESTION TO SHOOTING VICTIM’S MOTHER
The past few days, I’ve been covering the story of Trayvon Martin, for The Young Turks on Current TV.
If you are not familiar with the Martin case, he’s the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a man named George Zimmerman, as the teenager made his way home with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea.
The controversial shooting happened nearly three weeks ago in Sanford, Florida. However, there are a lot of questions that have yet be answered in this case. Zimmerman, a self appointed neighborhood watch commander, has never been arrested or charged in the incident. As the investigation continues, the controversy around the case grows. It’s a case that is steaming with charges of racism (Trayvon is black and was unarmed, Zimmerman was packing heat and is white).Today, a co-producer of mine spotted this video clip on the Miami Herald website. This exchange is from a recent press conference with Trayvon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton:
Male Reporter: Tell Me About Trayvon’s normal demeanor. Was he a happy kid? Was he a serious kid?
Trayvon’s Mother: Normal demeanor is happy. He’s listening to music, He’s talking on the phone friends, with girls, he is watching sports on TV.. uhm.. he’s eating.
(Believed to be) Female reporter: Chicken?
Trayvon’s Mother: He’s eating everything.
Unidentified Man (off camera): Whatever’s in the fridge.
Trayvon’s Mother: Everything.
Yes— a woman who appears to be a female reporter actually asked Trayvon’s mother if her son liked to eat chicken. Perhaps a better question would have been “what were his favorite foods?” Or better yet, say nothing at all.HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KILL A KID IN COLD BLOOD AND NOT BE ARRESTED. THE FUCK HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?
did this white bitch just jump in and say “Chicken?!”
and then giggle?
