Skyy Fisher, Compton School Board Member, Called Trayvon Martin A
'Faggot Black Dude' (AUDIO)

A Compton Unified school board member called deceased Florida teen
Trayvon Martin a "faggot black dude" and school Superintendent Karen
Frison a "bitch" during a recent podcast interview, and the statements
are drawing outrage and disbelief from parents and the school
community in Compton, Calif.

The audio is captured in the YouTube video above. It starts with the
hosts of Pigzradio replaying a KTLA interview with Fisher, in which he
comments in an official capacity about an alleged sexual relationship
between a Davis Middle School teacher and a student.

The podcast hosts mock him for his use of words like "alleged" and
"accountable," since apparently it clashes with another version of
Fisher they're more familiar with. "It's really funny to see Skyy on
the news, but not being arrested," jokes one host.

The show then attempts to call Fisher but there's no reply. However,
Fisher calls back, and it's unclear if knows he's being recorded as he
proceeds to openly discuss the closed Davis Middle School molestation
investigation. His opening line? "Oh my fucking god!"

Fisher's comments, which start at minute 7:22, include:

"that white dude that killed that faggot 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 fucking 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 shit to the board, talking about his daughter's been raped and all
kind of bullshit. All of a sudden, this motherfucker 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, goddammit."


"If I saw myself walking down the street with a hoodie on, I'd shoot
myself too!"

Fisher's inflammatory comments were first reported by LA weekly. They
had received a tip from a concerned Compton school parent named
Sergio, who sent them the interview.

Sergio told LA Weekly, "It's embarrassing, it's distasteful, it's
unprofessional." Fisher, Sergio said, "should be held to a higher
standard."

A filmed taping of the interview (which has since been taken down) was
posted on OneCompton, a community forum.

In reaction to the video, forum user Maggie Morris writes, "This is a
trusted official, leader of our community saying people with hoodies
should be killed or kill themselves, Wow! He uses the "N" word, curses
like a sailor and wants some cocaine SMDH!"

Another resident, who claims to have worked with Fisher on showing
support for Trayvon Martin's cause, was more cautious. "There has to
be more to this video than what seems. It's hard for me to believe
that this interview reflects the board member's core values and true
opinions," Bryan O. Parker responded. "I personally feel that this has
to be some sorta tasteless form of entertainment that both you and I
will never understand."

Fisher, a Compton native, was elected to the Compton Unified board of
trustees in November 2011. His CUSD profile touts Fisher as a Compton
native who is also "a product of the Compton educational system."

In the past, he's been a representative for the American Federation of
Teachers and a union organizer for SEIU. Fisher has also served as the
chair for the Los Angeles County Democratic Party and a delegate for
the state democratic party.

His personal Facebook page describes him as a "community servant who
believes in empowering our youth to push past obstacles tha [sic]
exceed past their wildest expectations to achieve the true California
dream."

Listed as his favorite quotation: "To whom much is given, much is required."

The Huffington Post has reached out to both the Compton Unified School
District and Fisher for comments. This story will be updated with
their response.
