BBM But, by making this statement, are you not assuming the GF is black?
Excellent point since, afaik, we know next to nothing about her. What I've read is that she attends the same school as Trayvon, lives in the Miami area and was his girlfriend by some definition. Based on my own teenager's definition of dating, that could mean a lot of things but we don't even know the true nature of their relationship -- like how long they had been dating, for example. We also know that Trayvon's parents thought he would be less likely to get in trouble if he were away from her and his other friends, but we don't know exactly why they felt that way. We also have heard/read a brief part of her description of the conversation betweent the two of them, and that she became hysterical and was hospitalized over Trayvon's death. Personally, I only read it and didn't hear her version of part of the conversation, so maybe some of you have heard her speak and have a little bit more information than I do.
I don't think her name or photo has been released. Has it?
