Did not see this until today. Pity you did not show the mother’s face and the pride that I am sure was mirrored on it. He really looks cute, As you pointed out the potential is there to be any thing that he wants to be.
You look at him, and it makes you a little more aware of the the trauma that the Martins have to deal with on the tragic death of their son. Just look at C. and imagine him being cut down at at seventeen or any other age. Unthinkable

Thanks for all of your comments. Yesterday across the blogosphere bloggers were asked to post something related to the Trayvon Martin case that has sparked so much media attention in the US. I wanted to post an image that did not speak directly to the most overused, almost becomming cliche themes of the issue (the hoodie) but to impress another image on people’s psyche. Stereotypes are mental shortcuts that have developed because they are efficient sometimes in helping us to make quick judgements. They can also be inefficient at best, harmful, life threatening at most. When you see a young black child, a black boy, a black man, what do you think? My hope is for people to be more mindful of their stereotypes and reflect on how they can expand their minds to consider alternative beliefs. Racism is not a gun, or a whip or a set of laws, it is attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that enslave and oppress us.

I see his eagerness to get that hair combed so he can get to playing.

I love the clean cut, the beautiful skin, remind me of the days when the folks rub the children skin with coconut oil, which makes it smooth and fresh forever.
He seems to be very smart, loves to dig in and discover. I agree with the first writer. I see potential to go and make a positive difference. Reaching for deeper depts and higher heights. Blessings to you young man.

The potential to be anything he wants to be in this life, a doctor or even the president of the United States. I see potential to be courted, molded, and blessed to help himself, his family, and his community. We have to put positive energy out there in the universe for our children. There are no limits to their potential if treated right and just.

These photos are truly captivating and the caption on the wall is most apt at this time when justice is being so vociferously sought for Trayvon’s death.
Thanks for the spring flowers. Our pink and yellow poui will blossom later on.

Is it the old time powder puff or cotton candy?
