So far this year homicides are in decline in Chicago and elsewhere, but young black males are still killing each other disproportionately at a steady rate of about 5,000 a year. Where's the outrage?
Brave piece. You are Right On, and it is a no-brainer that the media need to address black on black violence. My closest black friend is working through her Ebenezer Baptist Church to try to provide positive role models and good values for teens through after-school programs and group activities, but sadly, church attendance by young people has drastically declined, as have two-parent families. I surely don’t have the answer, but the statistics are sad and shocking.
