That the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was just an aberration? That such a tragedy could never happen in our own neighborhoods? That our sons are just as free, and safe, to walk the streets as other children?Black parents did not sleep well after the verdict was announced Saturday night.crotchless bikini In fact,cheap sexy school girl outfits I doubt many of us went to bed before Sunday morning. We were calling and texting each other. Facebook was on fire as many of us vented our anguish, anger and frustration with the justice system.thong bikinis I literally heard from parents from across the country.
The jury, the defense and the prosecution all came in for criticism by many. But most black parents -- myself included -- are especially concerned about what to say to our children, especially our sons.Not that any of this is new.sexy cat woman For generations, black parents have been giving their sons "the talk." More essential than gas money, "the talk" is about what to do if you encounter a police officer. It's about the basic steps you must take to offset being profiled because of your race and culture: Be respectful, not belligerent, even if you have done nothing wrong and are being harassed. If driving, keep your hands on the steering wheel in plain sight. Don't make any sudden moves. Always announce your intentions to the officer before doing anything, and ask him if it's OK just to be sure.
If it's dark, turn on the light in your car before the officer approaches so he knows he can see you clearly. Do not consent to a search, even if you have nothing to hide. Always ask the officer if you are free to go or if you are being detained. And if you are being detained, clearly invoke your right to remain silent -- now more than ever in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling in Salinas v. Texas.darque french maid costume
