"I’m sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was, and I did not know whether or not..."

“I’m sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was, and I did not know whether or not he was armed.”

-

George Zimmerman to Trayvon’s mother, this year’s Grammy nominee for most bullshit apology in the history of whiteness. “I’m sorry I murdered your son in cold blood. I thought he was a gang member because he was black. That’s my ass. Sorry ‘bout that.” (via dionthesocialist)





Compare the fucking MONUMENTAL dignity and compassion and empathy Trayvon’s mother and father have shown even in the face of contnued slander of their murdered son, and Zimmerman’s quote is even more evil and insulting.
