A new Internet fad called “Trayvoning” is catching on very quickly online.
Quickmeme.com says all you need to Trayvon is “a hoodie and some skittles,” and “even a black guy can go Trayvoning.”
S2smagazine.com says that Trayvoning appears to have no purpose other than to trivialize and mock the death of the black teen. The website reports that a photo was posted on a Trayvoning page showing President Obama giving thumbs up to George Zimmerman.
There are various creative variations of the Trayvoning meme, but a typical Trayvoning photo shows a person wearing a hoodie, lying spread on the ground, usually face-down as if dead, with a bag of skittles and iced tea in each hand.

While these people see Trayvoning as just another Internet fad like “Owling” and “Planking,” others are expressing shock at what appears heartless mockery of the death of 17-year-old African-American Trayvon Martin. Trayvon was killed on the night of February 26 by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.
Outrage!
The Christian Post reports that resistance to the spread of the new meme is gathering online. Someone railed against the creator of the Facebook page dedicated to Trayvoning, saying: “You got major Problems ahead of you, God does not like Ugly. I pray for your forgiveness. You may have laughed with your friends but your sick and need help.”
Another person wrote: “This is the most insulting… that i have ever seen!”
That’s just disrespectful and disgusting! There are some heartless people in this sick world! All I can do is pray for them….people have a different understanding when it’s THEIR family who is affected by tragedies like this…when its not I becomes a mockery
