Black on black murders don't count. Black privilege??
Just like the blacks murdered via abortion don't count.

No Jesse, no Al, no Obama, no demonstrations. Apparently black lives really don’t matter.

I’m SO glad banning the confederate battle flag or naval jack has stopped black on black crime. Wait, nevermind...

I wish the thugs would take time for target practice, no need to waste perfectly good bullets!

When my kids were 7 they weren’t standing out on the street at midnight.

No big deal because these were all done in love not hate and the Confederate flag was nowhere around.

Did they release the Carolina Kid for a night pass?

When my kids were 7 they weren’t standing out on the street at midnight. From the article:
The boy was with his father after spending the day at his grandmother's house at a July 4th celebration.
July 4th night is not that unusual...
I was sort of surprised baby daddy was mentioned...
