Death And Racism

I'm going to touch on something that might get me a lot of flack; it's something that is truly sad. Today, I was online and looking at some post when I came across a post that was about a 17 year old that was at home enjoying a cook-out with family and friends. When suddenly, it turned tragic. How can this happen you may ask? This young man died in his sister’s lap from being stabbed in the neck over a piece of chicken.  That's right, over a piece of chicken. By someone that came to their home frequently. You would think that you would be safe in your own yard with friends, but when one of them stabs you over your own food! That is too much. Nine out of ten, he didn't bring a damn thing but “his hungry ass” and to top it off, he probably wasn't invited. 

Sad as this maybe, it gets even sadder. As I continued to read this piece, down in the comment section were the most racist things regarding this death, and in many cases it had nothing to do with the crime at all. Here is the site http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Man-Dies-from-Stabbing-Wounds-in-SE--212257081.html?__hstc=223762052.b9ffb900d7681bca715ab9c749e1b6b9.1371934948158.1371934948158.1371934948158.1&__hssc=223762052.1.137193494  It was clear that these people are a part of the lynch mob that never went home. 


And as always, “I’m just saying…and shaking my head”

  1. Comments were not available on my phone, but I am quie sure ignorance have reared its empty head and spewed stupidity. Racism will never die because some people just simply love showing and passing the ignorance of their ancestors.

    As for the stabber, he killed a child over his own food and not a long time in jail but put to sleep like a rabid animal that he is. Only wild animals kill their own over food. He was not that hunger!

  2. Racism will never die because it is fueled by ignorance. It is no doubt those who commented saw it as an opportunity for racism to rear its head and spew stupidity. And, they simple-mindness will continue to make them exhibit the ignorance and stupidity of their ancestors.

    As for the stabber, he needs to be put to death as soon as possible, Like there rabid dog that he is. Only animals kill one of their own for food. To kill a child over his own food! He was not that hungry! The taxpayers f his state should not have to take care of him for the rest of his life!
