THIS IS NOT ANYTHING NEW. BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA LOST MORE LIVES FROM GUN VIOLENCE THAN ANY OTHER RACE IN AMERICA’S HISTORY. BUT THERE WAS NEVER BEFORE A NATIONWIDE CONVERSATION ABOUT BANNING GUNS UNTIL GUNS ARE YOU USED TO HURT WHITE PEOPLE. EVEN THE NRA IS RECONSIDERING THE GUN PRESENCE IN SOCIETY. WE HAVE LOST COUNTLESS BLACK CHILDREN TO GUN VIOLENCE AND I AM SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN I SAY THIS. THE BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE IN THE URBAN STREETS OF CHICAGO AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS ROOTED IN SELF HATRED AND POVERTY WHICH IS THE STRUCTURE OF AMERICA’S PLAN TO US KEEP KILLING OURSELVES. UNTIL WE INTERRUPT THEIR STRATEGY WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE VICTIMS WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. GUNS ARE NOT CREATED BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY BUT THEY ARE PLACED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO LET’S ASK OURSELVES, WHO CREATED GUN VIOLENCE?
