Who Is At Fault for Violence In Our Community? Us!

Black on Black violence, with images of shootings, babies being caught in the crossfire, other innocents killed or wounded. What can we attribute this scourge too?  We have gangs, drug dealers, people that prey on the old and elderly. What do we do? Depend on the police to implement programs to address it? They have. We have. Yet it continues unabated.

Let’s put the responsibility where it lies. We are responsible first and foremost. A child is a product of his environment. If he is brought up in an environment where life is cheap and going to school is for punks, this will become his reality. This along with systemic racism has manifested itself with kids who don’t respect life. It is not precious to them.

Have you ever asked yourself how a kid can kill someone and go to McDonalds? How a mother can grieve for her murdered child, not knowing that her child killed another child 2 weeks ?
