I guess this is what poked the hive and gave them their meme for the day.

The Rawstory piece really tires to push this idea that "skittles" is a code word (dog whistle) that
Actually, I have no idea what the point of the Rawstory article is about other to say Trump's kid is a racist.

Like anyone outside their own idiot chamber even cares about being called a racist at this point.

"How Skittles became a symbol of Trayvon Martin's innocence."
You mean the Skittles which, together with the Arizona fruit punch he also bought, were almost certainly going to be used as ingredients to make "Lean," a codeine- based drug cocktail which Trayvon had a known fondness for and whose side effects of prolonged usage include heightened paranoia and heightened physical aggression?

Donald Jr's tweet must have hit the target. It was based on a leftist meme about M&Ms. It correctly portrays what Obama's plan of importing terrorists into our country does. It was simple and effective.

It is pissing off all the right people so I figure it was worth two percentage points in the battleground states.
