NP "If I had a son, he would look just like Trayvon Martin" --Pres Obama

[David Morris]

It is wholly appropriate, and compelling, that the first black
president of the US should speak up about the death of a young black
male at the hands of a vigilante black-profiler.  The COULD have been
his son, or ANY other black parent's son.  That is the simple truth:
young black males are very venerable at the hands of armed authority.
