are ppl getting on buses from New Orleans and Detroit and Los Angeles to rally in Chicago about Chicago's gun problem? not on a large scale. is that an indictment of the black community? does that mean that blacks don't care about black on black violence? no. does that mean blacks don't take responsibility to address violence w/in our community? no. the articles talked about steps taken by various black communities to address gun violence w/in those communities.

the rallying about Trayvon happened b/c the COMMUNITY ASKED PPL TO COME HELP THEM BRING ATTENTION TO THE CASE BECAUSE IT SEEMED THERE MIGHT NOT BE A CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST ZIMMERMAN W/O THE ATTENTION.

the rallying around Mike Brown happened b/c the COMMUNITY ASKED PPL TO COME HELP THEM BRING ATTENTION TO THE CASE BECAUSE IT SEEMED THERE MIGHT NOT BE A CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST WILSON W/O THE ATTENTION.

and w/this. i'm done talking to you about this, player. you don't get it, you won't get it from this conversation.
