“A brother. A dad. A nephew. A uncle. A friend. An inspiration. The world lost a young talented man to senseless violence. Learn to fight if you walk around scared but please stop taking lives away it’s not worth it #TakeOff” - Terrance McKinney @twrecks155
Young men of color are killing themselves. They are pulling their guns and shooting and just like that someone(s) is dead. Who do we blame? Activists, rappers, family members, Faith leaders must confront this reality. This cannot be our future when our young are dying young. st
