Growing up black males were told they start out with 3 strikes against...young, black, and male gender. You would think in 2013 we should not have utter these same words to our boys. I have a 17 year old who I know I raised knowing right from wrong, told be aware of your surrounding and the company you keep, and you have the right to defend yourself as well as other tid bits to get him through life and certain trials he may face but after last nights verdict I am questioning if I have equipped him enough. Trayvon was walking home and because of those 3 strikes he never made it. I pray for and over my son daily because I know what type of world we live in and he is just starting to see it and live it.
