When a black man is being attacked, what should he do, just lie there or what? That's the biggest question today in America. Trayvon's parents open up about their fears for their remaining son.

Trayvon Martins parents have opened up about their fears for their remaining son, saying that while they still have faith in the justice system, they are now more afraid about what they should tell Trayvon's older brother. 
'I'm very afraid right now because i have no clue what to tell him. I have no clue if I should tell him to run or walk, I have no clue if I should tell him to defend himself or just lay there,' Sybrina Fulton said of her son Jahvaris. 

The outrage about the not guilty verdict acquitting George Zimmerman of murdering Trayvon has not simmered, and as the grieving parents were interviewed about their reaction to the news, and how they decided to skip that final day of the trial.

Because I am confused myself. Zimmerman's verdict is telling me blacks don't have rights and don't matter in the United States of America, even with a Black man in office. So when are we ever going to count? When.
