My home State of NH is a "stand your ground" law State. I live in a condominium community very similar to the one where Trayvon Martin was gunned down in Florida. I am not a teenager, don't own a hoodie, don't care for Skittles and Iced Tea in a can......but, I belong to a racial minority.
Therefore, should I be concerned?!!

if you're in the wrong place at the right time with the wrong skin color. Precedent is set. Guard your children, amerikkkans are on the prowl for blood.

I can't imagine what a monumental task it must be for black parents, especially those with boys. How do you tell your kids the ways they can be as safe as possible when they really can't be safe?

this would even be needed to be asked.
I was in hopes that with the election of Obama we'd get past this racist bullshit. It'll take the racist bastids dying off to get there, its apparent now.
I only know a few younger people who are racist. They're all in republicon families too in case any one was wondering.
