Booming Tee Shirt Industry Spawned in Wake of Trayvon’s Killing


A booming tee shirt industry has sprung overnight in the wake of slain 17-year-old Trayvon Martin one month ago.  One particular tee shirt has a photo of the teen in a hoodie and the words, “My ‘Hoodie’ Does Not Mean I am a Criminal” encircling it.

But there’s a new shirt that has just hit the market. This one expands the definition of “cracker.” With a picture of George Zimmerman, the man who confessed to shooting Martin, there are the words, “Pussy Ass Cracker.”

The “Pussy Ass Cracker” line is a reference to the song “100 Years,” by rapper Plies, who laments the lengthy sentences handed down to African Americans by racist judges, according to thesmokinggun.com.

Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic, fatally shot Martin on February 26, in a gated community in Sanford. He has claimed that he acted in self-defense and has not yet been charged with any crimes.
