(23,375 posts)I have a teenage son and I have the typical worries that any mama has...that hes being safe in his vehicle...that hes feeling supported in school and in his home life...that he has good friends...but I cannot imagine the weight and worry of having a teenage child of color and the knowing that he could be killed by those in power for no reason at all. Its too much.

(32,527 posts)Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
