I don't know if Frank James was the shooter in the subway, but if he was, he offers an interesting query challenge. NYC's black community always had black people in it, who love to suggest a usage of violence is incorrect. The reason why is complicated, it isn't merely about right or wrong. But, one of the juxtaposes between white controlled media of nyc /the black church in the black community of NYC/black employed class in NYC is the idea of gun violence in the Black community as something of youth. The narrative is, the youth must get the violence out of them. But, Frank James is sixty something years old. Frank James was an elder teen in the 1970s. So Frank James is not a Black person who is without a decades long look at the Black community in NYC, in NYS, in the USA and with that a high potential for a very honest while negative appraisal of many things in this area. Many will suggest mental imbalance, as in NYC that is suggested for anyone who is violent. From white media to many or most black homes in NYC, mental dysfunction or imbalance is always the reason behind any violence as if, being violent can not be from a mentally sane person, which of course is a lie.

This guy was the LT Governor of NY. Yet, he manages to get indicted for bribery in helping a real estate developer obtain $50k grant. He's not the 1st nor will he be the last stupid politician. At some point, black folks have to learn they cannot do what their white counterparts do. 😎

I doubt that you could ever be more wrong but you are consistent.😁 it's not my style to brag or boast especially on a public forum. That being written... At no point in my life have I ever felt inferior to anyone especially whites. Growing up the real chocolate city (DC) gave me that. Also, according to their system, I'm better off in every sense of the word than most whites. However, 'm just not one of those black men who has done well for himself and thinks everyone else should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I know how hard it will be for most black folks to make it in a system of white supremacy especially if we do nothing to change it. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had enough credentials that he could have been a very successful black man living his best life in Georgia. He chose not to sit idly by and watch the injustices being perpetrated against black folks. He fought and died for civil rights. Regardless of social status and class, some of us will use our voices, knowledge, wisdom and resources to raise awareness and teach those who may be lost. Silence is not an option. 😎
