The way things are going in society today it is REALLY tough being a black figure, especially a male figure.
Is the Police who are out there to protect & serve really doing that? In light of what happened to Mike Brown & Eric Gardner this has been going on for years/centuries and it's time for us to teach and build ourselves up to the high standards that we should be.
I'm not sure if I should be afraid of my son who has NO clue on what's going on in the world today but it's up to me to teach him and pray that he takes it to heart where he may never be in that position that these men were in....Yes Trayvon should be here too...not to say his parents didn't teach him but the system clearly failed and that's a whole different topic for another day.
To me we don't have a voice like how Malcolm or Martin was before my time and I don't think we won't but it's up to every father...black father's to teach their children on what these officers may be up to or maybe we just need to learn how not to put ourselves in situations that may turn for the worst.
Sick of reading, hearing about it but instead of burning OUR people's property we need to do things more constructive and let our voices be heard. This may be the time to strike but for now I have time to teach my son when I feel the time is right for him to hear it.
Again not all police officers are bad but I'm sure they feel different in protecting there own and that's a side I wouldn't want to be on.
I feel this will all die down until it hits home again..and I'm hoping and praying that it doesn't hit close to home
