T.D. Jakes’ Emotional Message On Trayvon Martin Killing
Bishop T.D. Jakes visited Philadelphia’s Praise 103.9 and got emotional when asked a question about Trayvon Martin and getting justice for his death. Jakes explained why this case is bigger than Trayvon and what we all should take from this tragic loss.
“Amongst all the children that are lost everyday, sometimes there is a catastrophic event that captures the fascination of masses of people and they become the icon of a bigger issue that is indicative of the society in which we live. “

It's sad. No parent wants to get a call like the call Trayvon's parents received. We all know that Trouble will come and hindsight is 20/20; however, when in trouble the Lord is a very present help in trouble. I was taught as a small child to call on Jesus when i was in trouble.
Moreover, I know in my heart that Trayvon's parents did their best to instil the vital life skills to not only Trayvon, but to both their sons. Every Black parent of boys know that the rules of engagement is different for our boys than for our girls. Although we have our first Black (looking) president, America is still very polarized by race and it will be for generations to come unfortunately.
Sad.
