states is sharing personal observations on the subject of the trayvon martin/george zimmerman case. he delivered some unscripted historic remarks yesterday about how he could have been trayvon martin when he was a teenager over 30 years ago. the president said being profiled is just part of being a black man in america. >> there are few african-american men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. that includes me. there are very few african-american men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks flick on the doors of cars. >> so what do we tell our

children? joining me now is cnn analyst and espn writer coming to us from chicago and a lawyer from and radio talk show host from miami. good to see you both. >> hi, fredricka. >> great to see you. >> let me talk to you, first, because it was a year ago last spring when we talked about the trayvon martin/george zimmerman case, and then we talked about, what do you tell your son who at the time was 15, and this is what i asked you then. let's listen. [ no yaaudio ] we are all very familiar with that talk when you have a black son. mom and dad sit downed and talk

about behavior. the relationship with police. running versus walking, et cetera. you've probably had that conversation with him well before he was 15, bupt how is the conversation unfolding now with your son? >> you know, it's really funny. he actually called me three minutes before i came to set here, and he wanted to know if he could go walking around with his friends in a particular neighborhood. i said, no. it just wasn't safe. i am constantly fearful for my son in certain situations. not because of what he may do, but because of the suspicions of others. >> and so now, l.z., a verdict is in. you have the president of the united states in a very candid fashion telling the nation, telling the world, for that matter, that he, too, has been racial profiled, particularly before he was a senator. so how is your dialogue, how has it changed now? your son is now 16 now. right? >> yes, yes, he is, and i actually just put him on a plane

yesterday. he's on his way to vancouver with classmates, talking about sustainability in finding alternate energy. he's a very brainy kid, and with that being said, we had a very long discussion after the verdict about his safety and the things that he should do. my partner and i -- we talked about, for instance, the hoodies, and i said that i did not mind that he was wearing hoodies, and i don't care if he continues to wear hoodie, but we have to understand how some people are interpreting the way that he looks. the way that he dresses, carries himself. i said, i told him, straight up, i'm heartbroken by this, because i see you. i see all the things that you want to do, and the last thing i want to do as a parent is to show you a world with restrictions, but i don't warn you of some of the dangers that are out there, i'm fearful what might happen to you, and he looked at me and said, dad, i

understand. i get it. it's a heartbreaking conversation, because my son, he loves all kinds of people. he's creative. he speaks mandarin, chinese. she a great, great kid, and he has talked to me constantly about knowing when he's been followed in stores, because, you know, of the way that he looks. he's talked to me -- he was the only black kid in his school on his soccer team. do you know the nickname for him? continue kunta kinte. it's a heartbreaking conversation but a necessary conversation. >> so you know, every parent, whether it be -- a year ago, when we talked about that. every parent has, particularly the white community, has had or is having that conversation with their child about exactly what l.z. was spelling out. but now when you have the president who comes out and, you know, enlightens -- really enlightens a number of people

who just didn't believe, didn't understand, couldn't comprehend this notion of being racially profiled. do you feel that it -- it is changing a dialogue that you would have with your child, or has it already changed that dialogue? does it need to? does the conversation need to evolve, just as l.z. was saying? you want your chid ld to be fre express iraive but know that no everybody reads you, interprets accurately. >> what president obama did yesterday was so brave and a move for parents. i've been having the conversation with my 15-year-old daughter since you know, since, when he was charged, on the radio, he wasn't arrestened and i was fighting for him to be arrested. what president obama did yesterday was give a manual for saying this is really happening. it even happened to the

president of the united states. so for me, i called my daughter and i said, isn't that wonderful, what the president did? it really begins to open up the dialog, to more people top that think, oh, this is just a problem black people keep complaining about. oh, this is just more talk, talk, talk. no. 234 this is a national problem that our president addressed and i was happy he did. let me say this about having a 15-year-old daughter. she is rachel jeantel and the way she could have been on the phone with trayvon martin that night. she will be on the phone with a young black man or in the car with him or stopped by the police uk wai iwalking down the one day. it could happen to her. my conversation is listen, we have to understand the law, and i try to explain them to her. you have to be alert of your surroundings and your environment, and then you have to be supportive of the man that you're with. if you are with a black man and something is going on, you may be the diffuses the

situation. brings the calm to handing the situation better. maybe the police will handle the situation better. i was in d.c. and had to do that. a couple of friends of mine agitated by a bus hit their car. i saw it escalating and then saw the police coming over and thought, they're going to get arrested because of how angry they areip went over and diffused the situation agents bit and i told them how proud i was of them to handle themselves so well, and not allow them to go home that afternoon without, you know, being arrested or something any altercation. so that's the message that i'm trying to teach my daughter, that you have to live by a certain standard right now that is flent our society and how to handle it the best way. >> except for that example you just gave in d.c., most of these conversations are happening within the confines of your family. right? i mean, you're both talking about the individual conversations you're having as a parent with your child, but the conversation, if it's even a conversation, maybe needs to be much greater than a conversation. snag has to be on a much bigger

platform, that resonates in a bigger way. the president did that in large part, but then it has to go somewhere else. so i guess the question is, what's next? on a grander scale, so that the conversation isn't just between a parent and their child, and like you just said, you know, l.z., it doesn't mean that you're imposing on your child that there is a world of restrictions, because there are going to be people, there is going to be a system, there are going to be forces out there who are just not going to understand you, or who are going to profile or label you, for all the wrong reasons? >> fredricka, the next step is, you know, building up of what we have already started by having these conversations. you start the conversation at home. you then move it to the town hall meeting, to the rallies that have been going on and then finally the president speaking. but now the real work needs to be done to change the laws. so what i've been saying to people is that, don't lose your enthusiasm for changing the

laws. we have all of these mid-term elections that are coming up in our states and we need to register to vote and we need to have these laws changed, these stand your ground laws, the laws that send black men to jail for the smallest things, for long periods of time. it's a whole change of the justice system that needs to happen, but it starts by voting and by changing the people who are making the decisions. >> l.z.? >> you know, we used to have a very popular phrase back in the '90s when i was coming of age in college. that was, it's a black thing. you wouldn't understand's we used to wear those t-shirts proudly, and -- >> i think i remember those. >> i have one. >> from my college days. >> right. >> and at that particular point where we were in this discussion, there was a certain need to have that attitude. now the attitude needs to change. we need to become more engaging. you know, a lot of the conversation we've been having has been within the black community. and there is a fear within the white community of getting involved in these conversations because they don't want to be

perceived as being racist, perceived -- if they say the wrong thing, we may think they're racist. we have to find a way in which we ken gauge the white community in this dialogue and in a way in which they don't feel fearful to say what's on their hearts, because it's a two-way street. we cannot heal racism coming just from the black perspective or from a minority perspective. there are things, i know a lot of thing the white people want to say i know this because my partner is white and tells me straight up in real conversations and has seen me be pro fyfiled and jump to conclusions. the only way to come to understanding, allowing ourselves to have that conversation without assuming there's any malice or without assuming the other is being racist. in my opinion, the next step needs to be that dialog. >> dynamic thoughts, l.z., mo, we could carry on the rest of the hour but about to lose our satellite window. hate to rushy, appreciate your candor on this topic and certainly getting a lot of

people thinking further. thanks to both of you. appreciate it. >> thank you. all right. a member of the "costa accordia" ran agrond off the italian coast. a trial got underway and today convictions handed down. we'll tell you a judge's ruling in that deadly accident. and a horrific story out of houston after four men were discovered locked up in a garage turned it pris ed ied it priso. . it's four times the detail of hd. colors become richer. details become clearer. which for a filmmaker, changes everything. because now there are no more barriers between the world that i see and the ones i can show you. the sony 4k ultra hd tv. britta olsen is my patient.

now to houston, behind the doors of one house was a terrible secret. several men claimed they were held captain iivcaptive, lured locked up. they told police they were forced to hand over their disability and social security. what more do we know about what allegedly took place in that house, ed lavandera? >> reporter: we know investigators here in houston are still trying to unravel the timeline of exactly what was going on in the house that you see behind me, but the room in question, behind this purple wall a converted garage. authorities say four men have been held against their will for some time and they're trying to figure out exactly how they got there. so far these four men have told investigators according to police they were lured here with the promise of cigarettes and beer. they might have been homeless.

they're trying to piece all of that together. and those four men tell police that in a cage -- their government benefit check, social security or veterans payments, were taken away from them. authorities this morning charged a man by the name of walter jones with two federal -- i'm sorry. two felony criminal charges. he is the grand zorn son of the who owns this home. including charges of injury to the elderly by act and injury to the elderly by omission. again, felony criminal charges that walter jones now faces. now, authorities say the conditions inside that room were deplorable, and witnesses and neighbors around here yesterday when they saw the poor men being taken out, many of them on stretchers, brought out of the house, they said they looked in bad shape. >> i was in my yard and seen them coming out in the ambulance and they didn't look good at all. man, looked malnutritioned. you know? oh, lord. >> oh, my god, it touched my

heart. i mean, i feel for them. i don't know. it just really got me hurt. >> reporter: told that three of the four men were take tn to a local hospital and they are in stable condition and appear to be improving. many told us around here they looked malnourished. investigators trying to piece together the timeline. they're not sure how long they have been kept here against their will. tri they're trying to figure that all out. >> keep us posted. today is a somber day in aurora, colorado. one year ago a gunman took 12 lives in a movie theater. one victim's family tells us how they're coping, and not everything you do these days on your cell phone is private. as you probably have figured out by now. a hacker actually showed us how

these children are suffering. they have lice, scavies and no schooling. there will be more lives lost if this continues. children deserve to have a childhood. what happens on the other side of the world isn't just their business, it's our business, because we share the same water, we share the same environment. if we understand that we are actually one community, it makes the world so much more smaller and more tangible for people to understand. we are currently desperate for donations to syria. children are worth giving back. cnn.com/impact.

spacecraft and there is saturn. you can see the rings that are so famous about it. what we're seeing now is a different angle. like yesterday they asked everybody to wave and smile to the camera. that's because this is the first time they're actually able to see earth out of this because the sun is causing basically saturn to be backlit, and now for the first time we are able to see earth, and hopefully we'll be able to see those images. those are expected to arrive in the next couple weeks, and i'm sure we'll have them on here. we'll have more coming up in a short while. back over to you. >> thanks so much. we'll look forward to that.

we're hearing from trayvon martin's parents today, both at rallies organized to urge the justice department to pursue civil rights charges against george zimmerman. here's cnn's nick valencia talking to martin's dad tracy earlier today in miami. >> it just goes to show the love and support that our family and friends have for us here in miami as well as across the country. and it sends a message to the nation that we're not going to sit back and let our children be killed and not say anything about it. i think people are just tired of senseless violence. we want the world to know that our children's lives matter as much as their children's lives. i think that we can definitely do something meaningful here.

we admire these people for stepping up and doing that, because it just sends a message to the world that this could have been anybody's child, and there are no exceptions to whose child it could have been, and we just have to try to -- we have to stop the senseless violence. that's something you can't never recover from, obviously. time heals all wounds, but this is something i don't feel i can ever recover from. >> trayvon martin's mother also spoke as she was in a rally in new york and called for justice for her son. >> trayvon was no burglar. he never drank. he had every right to be in that area. he had every right to walk through that community, to go back to the house where he came

from. those are the things, those are the facts that we need to stand firm on because today it was my son, tomorrow it might be yours. >> demonstrations in support of trayvon martin are being held in more than 100 cities across the country. we'll have more on those rallies coming up at the top of the hour. thanks so much for joining us. i'm fredricka whitfield. christine romans up next with "your money." another week, another record high for stocks. but are you missing out? i'm christine romans. this is "your money." did you miss your chance to run with the bulls? not those bulls. i'm talking about the bull run in your investments. 20%. that's how much u.s. stocks have climbed this year. a 20% gain in any other aspect of your life would certainly get your atio
