Newsweek article on violence within the Black community.
Excerpts:
“I will not say that we don't have a problem with police killing Black men. We do. But we have another problem. And it's killing a lot more Black men than white cops do.“
.......
“We heard from Daryl Curry, a video educator who was celebrating his very first Father's Day with his 10-month-old son. "A lot of Black fathers don't have this opportunity, to be a father," because they die at the hands of police, Curry told the reporter. "The opportunity is taken from them, and it's damaged the community."
Curry failed to present the whole truth. The Black men murdered on the streets of Chicago by other Black men were denied that opportunity, as well. Why didn't he share that reality with The Washington Post reporter? Or his son?“
.......
“White and Hispanic fathers commit the same failures at tragic, though lower, rates. But I'm writing to all the Black men who have not done right by their children: You know who you are. It's not too late to step up and be the father you can be. To heal the wounds of the past. And turn the victims of fatherlessness into victors. It's never too late—as Spike Lee once said—to do the right thing.“
