bobby rush on the house floor in a hoodie, and was reprimanded add and removed for it. martin the parents applied for a trademark, "justice for trayvon" and "i am trayvon." the president of a company and do we need a time-out? trademarks, tweets, all of this social media outrage. are we losing trayvon martin in all of this, pete? >> absolutely. i think we are. any time there's such a sensational story, where the entire country probably and much of the world knows about it, people try to capitalize one way or the other. the news media. people making twitter names. people making money off this tragedy. absolutely. we need to focus back on the man who was killed. >> it was the lunch lady's home address that i think really caught a lot of people off guard this week. >> irresponsible. got to say. i'm a big fan of mr. lee. you understand, social media has

so much power. you need to be an adult with it. a real adult. very irresponsible to basically try to incite violence. what's the point of doing it if not to have mobs come to this house? >> especially with this many followers. >> the responsibility sin credible. we're going 0 through a big seismic shift. everyone is trying to figure out how social media works and how powerful and feeling it directly. >> this is a race story. it's a, it's a story about so many different things. someone calmed it a rush to judgment, but social media, this is the first time you've seen social media in this country fuel so much of an opinion about a case. >> a lot of people are very impassioned about this. the reason being it does talk about what's happening as far as social justice. racism is very prevalent, profiling very prevalent. we need to just stay on that and look at what we can do to make things better, not to inflame a

lot of intentions. the new black party -- black panther party, thank you. has said, look, let's put a bounty on zimmerman. that's the wrong thing to do. spike lee -- spike lee, tweeting out this, retweeting out this address. i mean, that is -- that is the wrong thing to do he has apologized. >> absolutely. two wrongs don't make a right, and we have to have good exemplary behavior to talk about social justice. it goes across the board. >> this is, there is a good part to this. don't forget. the good part, this happened over a month ago. that we play get justice. justice may be served, because of all of this noise. we need to be responsible about what we're saying. >> people are using this to highlight broader issues. the reverend, former naacp president, on "outfront" this week, with erin burnett. >> the most dangerous person in the life of a young black man is

another young black man, and the type of ideas that are spawned when we gather together over a white on black murder. in fact, there's not an epidemic of white men killing black boys. there's an epidemic of black boys, black men, killing black men. >> all right. a different issue. is it fair to use this case to draw attention to what he says is the real epidemic for boys like trayvon martin? >> i think the real epidemic happens to be poverty and the fact that we still have racial profiling. this is not a black/white issue. we see this in the audiences, in the people who are protesting. they're black, white, yellow. they're all races. they're all colors. they're all religions. because people want to look at truth and justice, and i categorically as a black man reject this idea that it's a black/white issue. it is not.

>> i disagree, because i think white people are still frightened's black people, period. >> the fact he's hispanic as well. we have a situation, someone took the law into their hone hands to the point of actually committing a crime. right? having somebody say this is about black on black cry. the bigger problem, incarceration, drug laws. poverty. there are many issues that are wrong here. what we're seeing a distillation of all of that into one case. >> in the end, it's a story of someone who wanted to be a cop. >> and was playingrent-a-cop. we don't really know what happened out there. >> vigilanteism, i don't think it's that big after problem in america. i hope not. i think he make as good point about the black-on-black crime. that is an epidemic. what are the roots of it? poverty. the failed drug war. look at the roots of why that epidemic is. >> yeah. i think there is somewhat of a mental health issue. i have never examined george

zimmerman, but i suspect this is a guy who, like some other people out there in the population, want to be a cop, and, therefore, have delusions of grand dueur. why is he running around way gun? why is he packing? looking for trouble and he was profiling and may be half hispanic. this again, again, about black and white. >> for the people watching it is. >> you don't have to be a racist in order to be prejudice. you can still -- >> right. >> stereotypes. we all do. >> it's all about being a black young man, and what that carries with you in this country. >> the dangers of it, yeah. >> we talked about this a little last week. two conversations happening at american kitchen tables, parents of white boys talking about sex, paraphernalia and parents of black boys, put your hands up. don't of get to a confrontation. two different -- that's so sad.

>> don't run when in public and so on. when i was growing up, my parents told me. first of all, whatever you do, you have to do it ten times better, because you will never get the same kind of respect, and secondly, when you're in a crowd, on the street, whatever you do, you can walk fast, but don't run. because people -- >> my parents told me that it's still great to be a white man in america. it's still great to be a white man in america. it's a sad fact, but still better to be a white man. >> the thing is, you have somebody very irresponsible, like geraldo saying it was hoodie thing, how you dress. a real demographic generational divide. >> he's apologized. >> as to who to blame, what you should look like, who's in trouble. >> good point. >> for younger people, especially folks 45 and under, we have a different approach to how this is going. it's not about the hoodie. not about race. >> bottom line from this tragedy, we have a lot of conversations going on, and we have to look at this whole issue of prejudice, profiles, and it's something we need to keep talking about in this country.

it's almost politically incorrect to talk about race these days. >> yes. >> we have to talk about it. it's not about blame or pointing fingers. >> thanks, you guys. stick around, carmen and jeff. a controversy over the strange way she's feeding her son with her own mouth. you must see this video. plus, we know women get paid less than men, but did you know they also pay more for everything? that's all coming up on "your bottom line." tive can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen,

more than 22,000 dollars is what you'll need to attend an average public college this year. private college, the asking price is twice that. where were you going to come up with all that money?

the april issue of "money" magazine uncould beuncovers 25 come up with that money. cheaper courses. explain in a? >> of the $22,000 average price for a university, half of that is dorms and food and living expenses and that's a great way to cut costs. one way to do that is ask to live in a less fancy dorm than is standard. most are double. you share a room with one other student. why not triple up, quadruple up. or ask for a dorm room that's a little older and doesn't have air conditions so you can save another $1,000. >> you say they can take summer school for example. >> a lot of schools like boston university charge much lower university in summer. take it during the summer rather than during the fall and you'll save some money. >> and a lot of kids are going to college and aren't ready.

they're spending money for high-cost classes that they should have taken care of in high school. a lot of kids don't realize that they qualify for some of these scholarships. >> not many go vacant. that's a myth. >> really. >> right now these days everybody's hungry for scholarships but there's one way everybody can qualify for $2,500 to pay for their college and that's through the american opportunity tax credit. for the first $4,000 you spend on tuition this year, you can get a reduction, a credit of up to $2,500. even if you don't owe a penny, uncle sam will send you a $1,000 check. >> when you get a letter from the university saying this is your financial aid package, don't think that's the last word. >> if you have special circumstances you can write a letter of appeal. it's a important term, professional judgment of review. >> if we lost our job or we had these big medical expenses, this is why we need more aid. >> let's talk a little bit about

federal student loans. when it comes to borrowing, they're better, why? >> they're much better because when you graduate you can consolidate them with the federal government, stick with the federal loans and ask for income-based repayment. that means that your payment will never exceed 15% of your adjusted gross income, which means you won't go broke paying them back, and if you're a federal employee or a government employee, you can make ten years of payments and get the rest of your lobes forgive. so you'll never go broke and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. >> pretty interesting stuff. thank you so much. nice to see you. coming up, if there's 8.3% unemployment, why do companies say they can't find workers? americans believe they should be in charge of their own future. how they'll live tomorrow. for more than 116 years, ameriprise financial has worked for their clients' futures.

there's 8.3% unemployment and the federal reserve chairman says the jobs market is far from normal. then why do companies claim they can't find workers who can do the jobs they need? glen fenter is the president of

mid center community college. his school is one of the many schools that makes sure the workers have the skills companies need. glen, nice to see you this morning. you work with fedex to get people trained in the kinds of jobs that aviation need. these are good jobs. the fedex chairman and founder fred smith told me he thinks community colleges are the answer. >> it's just a mishmash, and i think we got to this point where everybody had to go to college and that was sort of the theme there for a long time, and a lot of kids probably shouldn't go to college. they should go to community college and get a marketable skill that and that's what you do. you're trying to give them a mark itable skl. what are the skills that corporate america are val ruing that don't need a four-year degree? >> well, our search indicates that 80% of the jobs that going to occur in this country in the next ten years are going to be jobs that require something

beyond a high school education but something less than that traditional baccalaureate model. skills and technology that are going to afford the competitors a global edge in this economy that in the last decade they really haven't had access to. so from our perspective, our model for education is really one driven by economic development initiatives. our educational models are set in place based on what employers tell us they need to help them make money. >> and that's where the companies come in because they are -- they're saying all over the place, president, they're saying, look, we can't find the workers. and i think when you tell america that, look, companies are complaining they can't find workers, it makes people who are out of work really upset. 8% unemployment is high, but the key here is there's a mismatch between what companies need and what we're delivering in terms of skills for the labor market,

is that right? >> absolutely. unfortunately our model of educating our populous has not changed much in 200 years. the global economy has brought about changes that are driven by economic development initiatives that unfortunately our educational models haven't addressed. >> right. we like to say on this show, the economy is moving faster than families and schools can keep up, and hair so much from ceos. they say i could hire seven highly skilled machinists right now, but i can't find any. one of the concerns for people who are retraining is they feel like maybe what companies need is going to change faster than they can get skilled up. is that a concern? >> and that's absolutely a concern. we do have to rethink how we are affording access to those ongoing educational and training opportunities to existing workers as well as those that we're trying to create as a new work force. i think the level of this conversation and this country's got to move to even a national

security dimension. our economy is only as strong as our ability to supply the work force needs of our industries and our businesses, and right now, the truth is there is a big disconnect between how we finance students' education, what we're encouraging them to do as a part of their public school experience, and what we're expecting them to be able do. >> i tell you. i was with fred smith, the ceo from fedex as you saw in the clip, and a room full of economistingses, to throw borrowed guaranteed money at the education without a real strategy is not great investment for a lot of families and frankly people are chasing after a college education with borrowed money and not any goal. it also points out that a crane operator on the west coast can make $150,000 mid
