He too is not Trayvon. |
I am not Trayvon
I have never owned a hoodie
I don't like Skittles
I am not an African-American
I am not Zimmerman
I have never felt the need to patrol a block
I don't like guns
I am not Hispanic
I am invisible
I have been suspended from high school
I have sat in the back of a police cruiser
I was given the opportunity to grow up
and learn to be a man
— but not Trayvon
— Mark Butkus
