I am thinking of the lives amongst Black people that have been cut short. To be honest, it makes me more grateful to be alive. But at the same time it makes me sad because these victims dont have the chance to live longer. There are people I know of personally or know of through stories that are no longer here. Either because of unwarranted violence or deadly accidents. It’s horrible for me seeing Black people around my age or younger dying. I hope that we can do things in the future to prevent this violence in our community. It’s bad enough when these other communities are harming us, but it’s just as bad seeing other melanated folk take part in the destruction of our people. I’m sick of finding out someone young died. The sell outs are a detriment and need to be eliminated.
