The article begins with this sentence without reference to a specific city. This obviously is a nationwide problem with little regard to specific geographical location however it is logical to assume this to be a “big-city” problem only. Correct?

I offer this conclusion since in Fort Wayne, Indiana where I live, inner-city or Black killings would not fall into the category as above since we have no predominantly Black neighborhoods.
Comments Welcome…

The moral compass is broken in the black community. It’s broken in churches; it’s broken in the streets, but most important, it is broken in the homes.

Everyday I read about some black parent(s) seriously injuring or abusing their offspring. It’s not that the rest of society doesn’t value the lives of black people; these particular black people don’t value their own or the lives of others.

Some 70% of black children are borne out of wedlock. Today is father’s day. A very confusing time in the ghetto.

As a Vietnam Veteran, Brother from the streets of 3rd Ward Houston, former Heroin Addict, PTSD and all that, whose own Brother died in Prision, I am not making excuses, but the fact is simple. We need major mental health intervention, now as a national Certified Counselor in all 50 States, some of us will be lost and the question is how many. No the fact is some Brothers are currently attempting to kill themselves as we speak, I will not make excuses for us and nobody else needs to make them. We need to salvage what we can, shock those young Brothers that need or want to be saved (My Preacher coming out). Have a good funeral suit and make sure to know how to watch your back.

If you think I am on point, well read my free book, A True Story at http://www.HopeAfter.org, we used to say in the service, take no Prisoners…Lord help us today.
