A Young Black Man, Being Late

There’s a reason that Trayvon Martin’s story hits me so hard. When you’re thirteen and threatened with a bullet through the chest for getting your braces tightened, it teaches you how the world works, and does it in a hurry.

My favorite comment there:

This is why the white folks like me who are shouting “We are all Trayvon Martin” now are…not. That’s the point.
