(Newser) – How low can you go? A white supremacist claims to have hacked into Trayvon Martin's email and social networking accounts, reports Gawker, which has verified that at least one of the slain teenager's email accounts was indeed broken into. The racist, who calls himself Klankannon, posted what he says are Martin's private Facebook messages to the 4chan message board, boasting that he changed all the account passwords to racist slurs.

The purported messages were arranged into slides, including one which supposedly proves Martin was a drug dealer. "But Klanklannon included none of Martin's emails in his leak, because the picture they paint is of a normal high school junior preparing for college," Gawker's Adrian Chen notes. "A screenshot of Trayvon's Gmail inbox our source provided us is heartbreaking. Martin apparently used his Gmail account for his college search, and it's filled with emails about upcoming SAT tests and scholarship applications," Chen writes.

Klanklannon has proven nothing more than the depths to which the racist amateur detectives who have spent days obsessing over every aspect of Trayvon Martin's short life will sink. - Adrian Chen, Gawker

I have never seen such racial divisivenees in America.  All thanks to Sharpton, Farakhan, the Panther with the endorsment of Obama.  Seriously, this only hurts Obama's election chances.  Especially, if they all get their wish of violence in the streets.

What are they possibly trying to prove...?  So what if he sold pot or looked for pills, how is that so abnormal for a highschooler, and how does that make it okay to shoot him?
