“We have to train them [black boys] because there’s nobody really out there to train them to be good men,” said Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., pointing to an education and mentoring program in Miami-Dade County schools. “These boys are not to be feared, they are meant to be loved.”

Why didn’t his father train him? I know he wasn’t living there but why would he wash his hands of his son’s future? WHy do we need to develop other sources if father’s exist and spend time agitating AFTER the child is dead but not while they are growing up, turning into thugs. Didn’t Trayvon’s father let him down?
What a thoroughly despicable thing to say. It's an admission that the feral government has completely destroyed the black family and the government has to take the place of absent fathers. Our caring and benevolent government which is crushing Christianity, will aid and abet the murder of any innocent unborn baby, which wants to control our very bodies, has killed all jobs in the country and has turned our military over to radical feminists and the homos. Yes, they'll do an excellent job of raising our black boys.
I hate to be the 1st to say it...but I think he did...He just didn't understand his influence as a father on a young kid...
Back in my day the response would have been “Boy? Who you callin’ boy?”
Because Trayvon's father is a gang thug just like his late thuggish son.
I wish someone could locate and post the photos now on the internet of ADULT Tracy Martin posing with other thuggish-looking ADULT gang members all grinning as they're deliberately flashing their gangsta-membership finger-signals at the camera.
Oh, what a change from the photos the media is publishing of Tracy in expensive threads, nice shave and haircut, manicured hands and suitably somber, almost statesman-like facial expressions and bearing.
Yep, the same Tracy Martin who is now re-constructed from street thug to learned gentleman philosopher....along the lines of Sandra Fluke, former amoral floozie now elevated to Mother Teresa Nightingale status.

“Why didn’t his father train him? I know he wasn’t living there”
You answered yourself. He wasn’t living there. Parenting required his presence.
Not a put down to FReepers who CAN’T be with their kids; but most men away from their children just WON’T be - there is a huge difference.
