The young men came from far and wide to attend several events celebrating the fifth anniversary of My Brother’s Keeper. And the keynote session — a town hall Q&A led by former President Barack Obama and Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry — didn’t disappoint.

Before Obama and Curry took the stage, the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis and Oscar Grant — Sybrina Fulton, Lucy McBath and Wanda Johnson — joined a panel with Legend, who also is an activist, and shared their hopes and advice for the young men at the conference.


Couldn't they have the mother of a black active duty serviceman, policeman, fireman, doctor or such speak. Why the mothers of dead thugs?

Haven’t we been hearing lately Bernie Sanders keep saying, on -and-on that “this President” (Mr. Trump)is the one dividing us up by race?

There is no money involved, well maybe an insurance payment, when the son of one of those you mentioned is killed. When a thug son is killed, there is suddenly a lot of money, plus talk shows and the media showers them with attention. To make a long story short, they are worth more dead than alive. Alive, they are only expenses: Going to visit them in prison, bond money. fine money, money to pay probation costs, money to buy drugs. All this cuts into the welfare check. It is a matter of economics.

When is the “Tour” going to Chicago or Baltimore? The black on black crime in those cities is appalling.

If you have to ask that question, it is not your color.

Really disappointed in Curry. His aunt is Jackie on the John Boy and Billy show and they are both staunch conservatives and I think Jackie is also. But Stephen Curry has sold his soul to liberalism. Sad.

“What color?”

For people with brown skin, brown eyes and brown hair.

Because people with pink to olive complexion, blonde, auburn, red hair, and blue, green, or hazel eyes are colorful enough

Where’s the part about the crowd being larger than Trump’s El Paso rally?

Interesting points and well stated.
I find it laughable that liberal idiot speak claims people of color are all “dark with the same black hair and eye color”. About as colorful as a chocolate bar.

Caucasians with all hair types from black to blonde, eye color of all types are not considered “people of color”.

Ridiculous and retarded doesn’t even begin to describe this train of thought.
