If the apple supposedly doesn’t fall far from the tree, Trayvon Martin’s father Tracy has been pruning his tree of his past to make sure his son’s image isn’t tarnished by it. Photos have emerged of Tracy Martin after his son’s death in which there is a tattoo on the side of his neck with an undefinable word; a later photo shows that tattoo was erased, replaced by a tattoo with two hands clasped in prayer. Other photos show Martin alternatively posing with a group that brandished the Crips gang finger signs or stood with a different group in front of raining dollar bills; both pictures featured Martin making a hand sign that The Conservative Tree House says are gang-related.
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.

“”you 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.””
The latter takes care of the former, does it not?
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.”
Damage control. They know that the trial isn’t going THEIR way................
ABC is STILL SHOWING THAT PIC OF TRAYVON as a 14 YEAR OLD kid...................
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
Fox shows it, too.
Geraldo also used it Saturday night. Saw it when I wasn't quick enough changing channels to get away from his show. And why is Fox allowing anyone to still show that early teen photo of Trayvon?
Yep, he'd be black-balled.
So the old Tracy Martin is now over the nearest Black Hole event horizon.
Because they don’t want to show the one of the bitter Trayvon using his extended middle finger.
I am old and naive to the ways of the modern street. So what is ‘lean’?
From Urban Dictionary:
To create Lean, a popular drink originated from Houston Texas, you require the following for the original formula:
-Promethazine w/Codeine VC <- Sizzurp (active ingredient)
-Original Sprite Soda <- Mixing ingredient (although different flavors of sprite are now used, such as sprite remix)
-Jolly rancher candy <- Flavor additive
Put it all in a styrofoam cup and enjoy. The codeine is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling after drinking lean. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, extreme drowsiness, as well as a disassociative feeling from all other parts of the body, specifically the stomach and digestive system. If it doesn't have promethazine w/ Codeine, it isn't real sizzurp.
The mixed drink combination known as "lean", is normally the color purple, due the added ingredient sizzurp, which is originally a dark purple syrup. There are other colors of sizzurp which can be added to create lean, but the purple is the true sizurp.
Lean does not contain ANY form of alcohol, crushed pills, or other liquids in general.

From Wikipedia:
Purple drank is a slang term for a recreational drug popular in the hip hop community in the southern United States, originating in Houston, Texas. Its main ingredient is prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine.[1] Cough syrup is typically mixed with ingredients such as Sprite soft drink or Mountain Dew and pieces of Jolly Rancher candy. The purplish hue of purple drank comes from dyes in the cough syrup.

Trayvon ran with a crowd that used "lean" and this was prominently featured on his various social media outlets until those were scrubbed after he was killed with some of the starter ingredients for a batch.
you mix some Cough Medicine, Skittles, and Watermelon Arizona “iced tea” (actually not TEA at all but a watermelon flavored drink)
And you got some ‘lean’ - ‘n it buzz you good.
FOX is just as bad as the rest of them. In fact, worse because they try to get conservatives to believe they're fair and balanced. On a related note, FOX perpetuated the lie that Snowden was a hs dropout. They had Trump calling in and he went off on that ridiculous meme that Snowden doesn't know anything because he's nothing but a hs dropout. Steve Doocy and the rest of the morning group never attempted to correct him even though they had Snowden's dad on just a few days before explaining in the 10th grade he got mono so took his GED and enrolled in community college. So, FOX is as much liars as the rest of them.
The customers in the 7-11 at the same time were buying bunts.
"Yes that is EXACTLY what you should teach your child"
He makes it seem unreasonable to expect that from him.
I wonder - who does he think should teach his child - if not the parents?
(Redundant question)
given that 93 out of 100 black murders are committed by other blacks, it might not be bad to teach black people to be a little more aware and alert when they are walking around, even just going to the store.
Caring white parents tell their children not to walk to the corner store if there are black teen-age gang members about.
