On Fox News’ Geraldo At Large Sunday night, Geraldo Rivera spoke with Trayvon Martin‘s parents and asked them for their forgiveness over his controversial comments that Martin’s hoodie was as much responsible for his death as shooter George Zimmerman. ... <SNIP> ...

1. Oye, Geraldo

As a fellow Puerto Rican, I call bullshit on you. As a minority, you should know damned well what the Zimmermans of the world think: they would just as happily have shot your ass!

2. In my opinion, Geraldo's apology was honest and fair ...

I also want to say that Trayvon Martin's parents deserve justice and they really impressed me. I can't imagine the grief they must feel in this situation.

3. Geraldo did the right thing by having Trayvon's parents on his show & apologizing to them

but his explanation of why he said what he did about hoodies is just so idiotic. Hoodies are worn by just about everyone. Trayvon's father answered Geraldo with exactly what I was thinking: It was raining when Trayvon had his hoodie over his head.

(As long as we're talking about appearances, Geraldo's mustache has grown into a longer Snidely Whiplash style since he's been working at the least legitimate, most shameful news network in the world. )

Trayvon's father handled Geraldo's race division question very well. Geraldo doesn't seem to know that there are many white people who are standing with Trayvon's family.

I really like Trayvon's parents, but especially his mother. I wish I could hug her.
