'All he hears normally from me is that he can be anything he wants to be if he works for it,' Carlton Riddick said. 'I had to add a caveat: even in a world that only sees you as a suspect.”
With Arbery’s shooting death, which is similar to the killing of Trayvon Martin, 17, by neighborhood watch guard George Zimmerman in Florida in 2012, black families have been traumatized and many suffer from anxieties because they believe a comparable catastrophe could happen to them, Coates said.
“I’m terrified that my son might go to prison or get killed just by being black,” Byrom said. “I live in this constant fear. Young freshman do stupid things, and young black men cannot afford to make one mistake. I happened to call him on Halloween during his freshman year. Good thing I did because he and his friend were about to go trick or treating in an affluent area of D.C.
The video shows Arbery trying to wrest the weapon before being shot three times and then collapsing to the ground. The FBI is considering charging the McMichaels with a hate crime. “I could not hold back my tears or my fears or my anger,” Morris said. “This young man was my son. Tai runs every day in the streets of Chicago, and if that would have happened to him, there would have been no ends of the earth that could settle me as a parent.”
