I read some of the comments on al.com before his photo was posted and a few were inquiring about his race. There were some that asked, “Why does his race matter?”
It matters because to address a problem you have to acknowledge a problem. Ones that don’t want to acknowledge the extreme violence among blacks are part of the problem.
Not acknowledging extreme black violence hurts good black families the most. They need to stand up and make it known that they’re sick of it too.
