Hello all Sisterfriends/Brotherfriends!!!

My friend in SC recently e-mailed the following article to me:

"Walking While Black" by Bryonn Bain

This article is in the Village Voice and I recommend that ALL read it in order to gain or refresh our understanding about what goals we should set and focus on both in our personal lives and for the community. This article would outrage ANYONE who believes in equality and justice.

I am the wife and mother of black males and after reading this article you will realize what concerns me so about this. I realized that my son and husband are (on a daily basis) like walking targets. Incidents like this occur ALL of the time and they get worse throughout the generations. I can imagine what things will be like once my son becomes a teenager.

I am disgusted and disturbed by what this young man (like so many of our black men/black people)has had to endure. It's a shame that we live in a society (the most ADVANCED society in the world) and haveto go through this kind of nonsense. What do you think????
