Troy Davis and black community genocide before all.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) I am not angry at all about the execution of Troy Davis and can’t understand for the life of me why so many of us are when in every hearing on every level of the justice system, the conviction was upheld.  Is it because it was another black man? Well, I’ll be doggone. Another black man is killed by a “system,” but... [Read more...]
