This is not Salon, but Yahoo, that just republishes this inaccurate race-baiting dreck that they got from the site Take Part. The most offensive paragraph quoted below:

Decades before 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot to death for looking suspicious as he walked home with a can of Arizona Iced Tea and a pack of Skittles—before 17-year-old Jordan Davis was gunned down at a gas station because his rap music was too loud, and before 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot by a police officer on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, after being stopped for not walking on the sidewalk—the death of another African American teen, killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman, forced America to realize that black lives matter.

Trayvon Martin was of course, not shot for ‘looking suspicious as he walked home with a can of Arizona Iced Tea and a pack of Skittles’. He was shot after he attacked George Zimmerman, beating his head into the concrete.

Mike Brown had just committed a robbery at a convenience store which the officer realized. Evidence showed he struggled with the officer at his police car and according to the officer, tried to grab his gun, and then subsequently refused to stop but moved at the officer. Both local and federal authorities found the evidence matched the officer’s account rather than the false accounts of ‘hands up don’t shoot’ that had been spread by media.

In none of the cases cited in the paragraph was there any evidence that race factored into the shootings. Except of course in the case of Trayvon Martin, who referred to George Zimmerman as a ‘creepy ass cracka’.
