The Huffington Post reports that Skyy Fischer, a Compton Unified school board member, called deceased Florida teen Trayvon Martin a "fagât black dude," and a school superintendent a "bitch," during a recent podcast interview that understandably has community members shocked and outraged.
Some of his comments, from the Huffington Post (warning: language):
- "that white dude that killed that f[â]got black dude in Florida. I'm going to go out and try to search for this [inaudible]."
- "If you all see that George Zimmerman bitch, tell him I'm looking for him."
- "That bitch superintendent wouldn't give me a f[â-]ing district car, and I told that bitch that I was going to get her."
- "The daughter is like, doing bad in the class, and she's trying to get back at the teacher⊠The father comes to the board meeting, crying and sh[â] to the board, talking about his daughter's been raped and all kind of bullsh[â]. All of a sudden, this motherf[â-]er has six attorneys."
- "Wow, so instead of you guys stealing the money, someone else is stealing the money from the district," says one host. Fisher's response: "Yeah! Yeah!"
- "We're meeting this Tuesday at 7 o'clock. Oh! You've got to definitely come. There's solidarity with this Trayvon Martin bitch, and I'm trying to get on news so I'm wearing the hoodies at the whole board meeting⊠It's the perfect publicity stunt. I'm going to wear a hoodie, the news is going to come out, and I'm going to announce my candidacy for City Council, g[â]dammit."
- "If I saw myself walking down the street with a hoodie on, I'd shoot myself too!"
