DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – In the wake of last Saturday’s deadly shooting at Pryme Bar, a Dallas nonprofit is bringing attention to what it describes as a “black on black crime” problem in Dallas.

how come i do not hear celebrities touting having to have this talk with their black sons... only the talk about the white police officers that hunt them down.
