Understood, Val. But do they understand that the black male they engage in profiling could potentially BECOME someone EPIC in this world, i.e. a worthwhile citizen, a doctor who cures cancer or a future President?
If only!!! There are times I try to go into Curtis Mayfield mode... like "I Plan To Stay a Believer"... but it gets very hard to do that in such a dangerously unjust climate.
True. WE indeed NEED ALL ADULTS to care for more children than just their own. ALL children have a worth in this world. And damned be those who don't see, acknowledge & RESPECT that fact!

Hey suga! Yep, it's time to stop the illusion of apathy and tell the real story.
As the mother of a son who bears a striking resemblance to Trayvon, I am grieving this loss, this verdict and this government.
I am glad the President spoke from a very personal place.
We must do our part... serve on juries, march, lift our voices and take care of our children.
We need adults to care about our children.
