“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.
After this utterly predictable charade with the Congo Black Caucus, what’s the next step in the marketing campaign?
Considering the central role played by phone technology in this incident, the Martins will soon ink a product endorsement deal with a major telecommunications company. Here’s a draft version of the announcement:
Coming soon to a big box store near you! Long a leading provider of VOIP phone service, Vonage is pleased to announce their entry into cellular service. Included with this new service is an exciting new phone.
TrayVonage 911™
The TrayVonage 911™ is versatile - you can use it to hustle fat ho’s who can’t read cursive or to bash in the head of nosy white Hispanics. Call your dealer to locate Robitussin with codeine, then call your homie to fence stolen jewelry. This phone can do it all!
You can use the stop watch app to time yourself in the 100 yard dash (timer limited to four minutes). Includes actual human voice ringtones like: “Are you a rapist, semi-honkie?” and “Is that thing loaded?” The high impact case will even resist a fall onto wet grass when you need both fists to deliver an azz whoopin. Cutting edge noise reduction circuitry automatically mutes cries for help and even 9mm rounds discharged from below (bullet damage not covered by warranty). Breakthrough security features include an encrypted password that only crooked special prosecutors can access after you’ve made your last call.
