The following is a question not a statement!!
Do you think that was negligence on their part?
How can you be black and never pick up a book and read about the struggles of your people? Im not asking you to assume the characteristics of "being black", but the least you could do is be aware, if for nothing else than to make sure you're never a part of the problem.
