I have three sons ages 17-27. I am a worry wart. I worry about everything every time they walk out the door, but the one thing I have never had to worry about is that they would be shot by a policeman, or even another teenager. If my sons were black, I would.

And that's where I stopped reading.

“I have never had to worry about is that they would be shot by a policeman, or even another teenager. If my sons were black, I would.”

delusional.

if they grab for the gun they will be shot, regardless of race.

The difference between this worrisome mother and the welfare moms parenting styles is why this young man was killed by a cop. His mother most likely did not worry about where he was and what he was doing. She was too busy hitting the next party at taxpayer expense.

Since the chance of a white person being murdered by a black person is about 22 times higher than the chance of a black person being killed by a white person in the US, I really wonder whether it ought to be the black mother or the white to legitimately feel that “twinge of fear.”

Maybe someone should tell her to Google “Dillon Taylor,” a completely innocent young white man recently shot dead by a black cop.

Every time one of my children left the house without me I worried about them being victim to a knock-out game, mugging, rape or other crime that happens to young whites that err in the wrong part of town.

Might as well stop reading there,

because it’s a completely false premise.

Black teens don’t get shot by cops,
they get shot by other black teens.
