Well, Martin’s parents are really raking it in using their son’s death....when he was alive they didn’t care one wit.

“to not be there in his time of need is real troublesome, not to be able to save my son’s life.”

Tracy: Where were you? Who were you with? What were you doing? When did you get home? (ooops...these are questions the parent usually asks the child though)

[Texas Eagle]

How many young black men have been killed in circumstances similar to Trayvon's and how many have been killed by other blacks since the end of the trial?

I'm going to go wayyyyyyyyyyy out on a limb and say none.

Until there is LEARDSHIP that is NOT AFRAID to say to those of color that WE NEED to clean up are act up, things are not going to change.

Good Question. Unfortunately you are getting your answers from the wrong people. al, jessie etc.
Your son was found with burglary tools, contraband, weed kicked out of school, kicked out his mamas house, then sent to live with you, and you went out with your girl friend and left him.
What the HELL did you expect?
Now you blame everybody but yourself and his mama.
if anybody should have been charged it should have been you so called parents. . . . . . .

Discussion and solutions during the forum included ensuring that high-quality preschools are available to black children, changing minimum drug sentencing laws, and pursuing federal pre-emption of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, which some have cited as justification for Zimmerman’s action.

This was it? This is what the Congressional Black Caucus and black scholars could come up with to curb massive black youth violence and criminality, to curb nearly three-quarters of black boys being raised in a home without a dad, and to curb the ghetto culture that has so many black boys dropping out of school and never desiring to be part of the mainstream. This complete lack of introspection is so sad and so pathetic. This community will continue to be a lost cause if they continue to refuse to look inward.

Our time here in schoolhouse Earth is a pass or fail test.

Schoolhouse Earth seems to be a "weed out" school, like one of those ultra tough med or engineering schools that tries to weed out those who can't or won't keep up by giving them a demanding Freshman curriculum, that also prepares them for grad school.

If you want to, if you can figure out the curriculum, you'll pass and you go on to your future.

If not? Well...from what I've read, you don't want to go there.

Posted by another FReeper (apologies...I do not know who, I just grabbed the text) on a thread yesterday...

•The father who left his “at risk teen son” alone for the weekend so he could attend a convention.

•The father who refused to give police the passcodes/swipe codes to Trayvon’s phone and instead told the police on 2/28/12 to call his attorney.

•The father who lied about how his son got to Sanford.

•The father who falsified a sworn statement to FDLE investigators.

•The father who said he saw he last saw Trayvon at 8:00pm when in actuality Trayvon was shot at 7:17.

•The father who called juvenile hall and then the adult detention facility to find his son rather than police missing persons.

This is the “representative role model” that the black community emulates? No wonder it is imploding.

Someone should tell our African-American countrymen that even the effete white liberals have their limit to stoooopid

[pallis]

African men should teach their children to be polite, and treat people right. Teaching them not to steal, rape, beat people, murder people, or get into people’s faces would go a long way towards ending incidents like the one where Trayvon got himself killed. Be better fathers before it comes to that.

If black people are looking outside the black culture, towards laws that would make others more vulnerable to black criminals, they need to stop their nonsense, and start admitting the truth. The problem is with the black culture.

“The question is, what can we do as parents, what can we do as African-American men, to assure our kids that you don’t have to be afraid to walk outside your house?”

Tracey Martin should have done it - been a better parent - when Trayvon was ALIVE. Why was Trayvon staying with dad's girlfriend?

[NotYourAverageDhimmi]

The longer this malarkey continues the better. That’s because it’s waking a lot of people up that you can’t reason with these people, so why try?

[fatnotlazy]

Sorry Mr. Martin, but if you and Trayvon’s mother had behaved like parents, your son might be alive today. Perhaps you could have made sure he was home on a Sunday night instead of roaming the streets. Perhaps you could have set rules for your son. Perhaps you could have taught him the difference between right and wrong. Perhaps you could have taught your son responsibility. Perhaps you could have instilled in your son a love for and a desire to learn. Perhaps you could have been a role model for your son.

All the laws in the world are no substitute fir good parenting. You cannot make babies and then expect government to take care of them. If government can't operate Social Security at a profit, how can you expect government to properly raise your child?

[texaschick]

“The question is, what can we do as parents, what can we do as African-American men...”

How about this: if your son dresses like a thug, gets kicked out of school like a thug, talks like a thug, hangs around kids who look and act just like him - maybe you can address the problem rather than just passing him off onto some else in another city. Maybe you could monitor him a little more closely. There’s a whole bunch of things you could do as a parent that you did not do.

“depictions during the trial ... do not define his son”

Who you gonna believe? Al, Jesse, the pResident an’ me ... or yo lyin’ eyes?

One less Trayvon is one less menace to society.

[Tennessee Nana]

I doubt if Trayvon Martin was ever afraid to walk outside his house...

Congressional Caucus on Black Men and Boys

Lets see this will be pretty straightforward. Racist, racism and the evil white man. Is there anything else?
