Funny how Crump and the family came out last week and said this wasn’t about race, yet (from the story)...

Martin recently told the black-interest blog The Root, “(y)ou can’t prepare your child to contend with the warped mentality of someone else. You can only teach them to be good and live by the laws of the land. George Zimmerman acted in a deranged way — and all the evidence supports that. I know how society negatively portrays black boys, and my son Trayvon wasn’t naive. He wasn’t blind to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. But I shouldn’t have to tell my child to fear walking to the store to get snacks just because he’s black.”

How con someone be so right and so wrong at the same time.

Yes that is EXACTLY what you should teach your child, but obviously when Trayvon went out to get ingredients to make him some 'lean' and attacked a man who was just looking out for his neighborhood he proved he didint know any of that
