Almost word for word what I tell my sons:
Always pay close attention to your surroundings, son, especially if you are in an poor black neighborhood where white folks are few. Understand that even though you are not a target, some people might assume you are, especially if you are wearing certain clothes.

Same code for this old woman when shopping at Walmart.
I was thinking of posting that exact thing, word for word! Well done, sir!
Been there done that.
Dead on, even though black people are a small minority nationwide the likelihood of a black person being killed by a white person (Zimmerman is not white, he is multiracial “Hispanic”) is far, far smaller than the chance of a white person being killed by a black person. Also, Geraldo is right about one thing, even though I hate to admit it, wearing a hoody in Florida in March is absurd, also walking around with your pants down all the way to your crotch and your undershorts showing, (not that Martin was, but I see it all too often and sometimes it is white clowns doing it) is utterly disrespectful to all around you, anyone doing so should expect only contempt, although of course it does not justify a violent attack. This whole rash of coverage of one killing picked from many that have happened during the same time period originates from one thing. It is an attempt to claim that a white man who happens to have a concealed carry permit has killed a black child (note that all the pictures of Martin are from years back, he is actually much larger and more mature than they are showing) in cold blood for absolutely no reason. About the only thing that is true is that Zimmerman IS a holder of a concealed carry permit.
Do you know what time of night the incident occurred?
Well played.
