I hope Jamie Foxx makes a movie about Trayvon.

Jamie could present the Big Picture, bring Trayvon into reality...Jamie could present the real story. Hell...Zimmy made one ..

Jamie Foxx has shown great passion during this ordeal. That's why I suggested him.

seen for what he is. time wont make it go away. he may not have gotten prison time but he will always been a killer in the eyes of most people. and even more as time goes on and the old racists die off.

i was thinking of Argo (which i haven't seen) but it did seem to help in stopping the lies from the right about what happened .

Or possibly Tracy Martin. He does not look that much like either one of them, but acting ability is more important than physical appearance and I have no doubt he could act either of those roles very well.

but i think it might take a few years. we need people who will speak up, people who admit what happened was wrong. maybe in their later years when they are dying they might finally feel some guilt and say something.

but the racist police are very important in telling the whole story.
