My wife, like many black Black Mothers, lost a son last week.When Travon Martin was gunned down a flash of their worst nightmare sparked a painful fire of fear and dread which burned deeply in their souls. Fueled by Facebook and 24 hour news Travon's death was as real tangible and close to home as if they had breast fed him as a child.
When faced with fear, mothers do what mothers do. They try to protect. They try to prevent. They worry. They warn.
But fear is the cousin of death. Communicating to young men that their lives are perilous, fragile, or in constant jeopardy, can kill the spirit of a boy just as much as a bullet through the heart can kill his body.
A father's instinct is to want his son to feel the world is his. I can't let him grow up peeping around corners scared of a George Zimmerman.
Dad (interrupting)
Hey man! Go ahead and play some ball dude. Work on that left hand. We'll see you when you get home.
Dad (to Mrs. DV)
don't worry baby. He'll be alright.

How many times will we be subjected to these hegelian head fakes when it comes to the so called"media concern" for justice when it comes to the lives of blackmen....our youth r being killed physically and mentally in record numbers by each other...the so called "white man" whatever that is and if its not newsworthy then there is no outcries that can b heard...no punk as no church having two faced so called rev. al sharpton....no "you said all that to say what" obama speech... no so called f.b.i(fuck black individuals)...we continue to deny the existence of slave mentality and its effects...say what you will about the jewish agenda but one thing we can learn...they dont need any motherfuckers "permission" to defend and protect themselves....so dont throw your fists up and start singing good ole church hymns....create your own nation that does not tolerate or allow genocide to blatantly destroy your souls....educate yourself...feed yourself..save your family...and above all protect yourself at all times!!!!!!
"I can't let him grow up peeping around corners scared of a George Zimmerman..."
Relax, DV. Just don't let your son, wearing a hoodie, wander around at midnite, in an upscale neighborhood wherein he doesn't belong, that has had a lot of recent crime...
I read this article yesterday and knew immediately you would disagree with it.

your post today confirms....
MAN THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT! I was just telling someone that I will NEVER raise my two sons to fear the world, or feel insecure because others may be "intimidated" by their height or skin tone. The world IS theirs!

As "petty" as it may seem to some, imagine if this young man was taught early on not to be eating skittles and drinking soda. Perhaps he never would have found himself in that position.
Tragedy nonetheless. But walking around in a hoodie or with a themed t-shirt isn't going to change anything. As stated, if another black male had killed him-no news. Had Trayvon killed a white kid, no protest. The justice system has failed as it seems to be designed to, and that's a fight that I don't think can be won in this fashion.
I want my daughter to take responsibility for herself, to never feel like a victim, regardless of what may happen in her life. We know how this ends for all of us. There aren't any exceptions.
Face the predatorial world with an open hand as well as with intelligence and due diligence. Don't personalize what the predators do; the goal is to survive them or defeat them if you have to.
The ultimate goal for me is awareness. There's no time for blame or remorse from where I stand.
Whenever the media pays so much attention to a tragedy the question remains what's the bigger tragedy they're taking my attention from?

These following images of the real 17 year Trayvon would not work. and the more Hispanic and weaker image of Zimmerman would not help either.
Release these 2 images and see if our mental archetypes would change the game. The priest class is awesome when it comes to f#@king with our sub conscious . Marketing 101.

Hustle Hard.
8 black kids under 19 get killed per day mostly by blacks. multiply that by 365..... Damm, 2920!!
But yet this one episode got us wearing Druidic and Pagan style clothing in Church this sunday while promoting skittles. GTFOH.
You just got to love it.
"We have a situation in this country where, over the first five years of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, just under 5,000 Americans were killed through all kinds of methods, of all genders, races and so forth. Over that same five years, close to 27,000 black males were killed in this society by gunfire alone. That meant that the average black male had a better chance of surviving in the streets of Kabul or Baghdad than in the streets of their urban community." --Harry Edwards, professor emeritus of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley
That's the impact of white supremacy. For many Afrikan Americans a Black life has no value unless it has been taken by white people, usually white people with some kind of authority.
However, as Dr. King said: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The priority has to be justice period.
And now Rekia Boyd, another victim of Police State America:
