Former UN Ambassador: Trayvon Martin Is A ‘Martyr’Former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young stated that Trayvon Martin is one of several martyrs under the cause of civil rights violence and injustice.
In a lead-up to President Barack Obama’s address marking the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement March on Washington, the former U.N. ambassador under President Jimmy Carter interrupted MSNBC guest host Joy Ann-Reid’s question on troubles in the African-American community to express his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin case.
“No, Trayvon is a martyr. We’ve had a string of martyrs from the time of Emmett Till. Every generation has its string of martyrs and they’re going to continue. And we celebrate them and we lift them up to know that they’re not lost,” said Young.

The media lies about drink Trayvon was buying; watermelon fruit juice cocktail & Skittles used to make LeanWe hear in the media on a daily and nightly basis that Trayvon just went to the 7-11 to buy skittles and Iced tea. Thing is, it was not Iced Tea - it was Arizona brand watermelon fruit juice cocktail. Those 2 items - Skittles and the juice can be used to make some sorta drink called Lean.
The media, Crump, Sybrina, and Tracy either don't know or don't want us to know.
I found this in the comment section of an article about the Volusia country cop being
suspended for his comments about Martin after the verdict. The original comment is since gone.
Skittles + Arizona tea + Robitussion = Lean "the new drug""Among its reports, Trayvon Martin’s drug use, explaining how the Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail drink he carried that night are ingredients that, when mixed with dextromethorphan (DXM) cough syrup, create “Lean”, a concocted high which can cause psychosis and aggression over the longer term. According to the autopsy report, Martin’s liver showed damage consistent with DXM abuse."This was the first I have ever heard of Lean, Skittles and Fruit Juice Cocktail in the same sentence. However with some googlefu I found my answers.
Conservative Treehouse has a phenomenal writeup on the homebrewed drug.
Trayon purchased Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail. However the media report and all of Trayvon's friends, family and supporters report it as iced tea. Why would they want to obscure the fact he was buying a fuit juice mix? Maybe because it says watermelon, but more likely is that it is a key component of Lean.
Treehouse quotes Urban Dictionary:
Purple Lean, or Lean, is an intoxicating beverage also known by the names lean, sizzurp, and liquid codeine. It is commonly abused by southern rappers and wannabe suburban teenagers. It is a mixture of Promethazine/Codeine cough syrup and sprite, or other beverage [such as Arizona Watermelon] with a few jolly ranchers and/or skittles thrown in.
Promethazine with codeine, consumed in such large amounts as is popular with such southern rappers as lil wayne, slim thug, and Big Moe, produces an opiate-like high that is potentiated by the Promethazine.
Promethazine by itself will not produce a high. The beverage must be sipped slowly, and not guzzled, in order to avoid unconsciousness and/or life threatening overdose.Codeine is not needed. Dextromethorphan (DXM) can be susbstituted. Apparently according to numerous websites found with a search, DXM is increasingly being abused as a recreational drug.
Screencaps of Trayvon's FB page show that he was looking for some codeine:
