Did anyone ever hear the name Trayvon before the Zimmerman case?

I don't think I did.

They used to have names like Tyrone and Leroy. I guess now they are trying to be more "creative". Recently I hear such names as mostly the names of football and basketball players. DeSean, LeBraun, etc....

The ones that play baseball seem to have real names though. As long as I can remember though, their women have had real crazy names.

The rabbi even mentioned a black name in his shiur on the Book of Ezra. In the end of the book, people got rid of their Non-Jewish wives from intermarriage. He mentioned "Lequisha" as an example of a Non-Jewish woman. I was laughing. I don't know if anyone else was. The Jews there are mostly Liberal even though they are Orthodox.

I wonder if the blacks know what it allegedly means. I think they just put sounds together. If it is really German, I doubt they know.

And they say it's racist to just call him Trayvon. Well, it's a unique name and most people in the World probably have never heard of such a name before. So what do you expect people to call him? Martin? Isn't that reserved for St. Martin Luther King?

Notice how the mother gave his full name when testifying of who the voice sounded like. Zimmerman's mother said "my son George". The Zimmermans seem like a nice family.

When searching for "my son George", this is what comes up. It's a book by his father. Maybe should buy it to show support.
