Things I need to talk to my son about:

Hoodies,

toy guns,

driving,

talking to white women,

talking to cops,

talking to classmates,

jaywalking,

selling cds,

protesting,

being arrested,

dogs,

trees,

racial slurs,

wage gaps,

prejudice,

holding your hands up, holding your hands away from your pockets, holding your hands up, on your knees, begging for them not to shoot,

Staying safe

staying out of the bad neighborhoods,

staying close to home,

staying in your backyard

with a phone.
