In this thought-provoking video, we address the alarming issue of shootings that occurred during the recent Memorial Day weekend in the black community. With 53 people shot and 11 fatalities in Chicago alone, it is a stark reminder of the violence plaguing our neighborhoods. However, what is equally concerning is the silence from mainstream media regarding these incidents. Join us as we delve into the hypocrisy surrounding media coverage, where cases involving a black individual being killed by someone of another race generate outrage, while violence within our own community often goes unnoticed.

We echo the sentiments expressed by renowned sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, who bravely speaks out on this double standard. It is disheartening to witness the lack of equal passion for justice and peace when the perpetrators and victims share the same racial background. We fully agree with Smith's call for change and his emphasis on the importance of highlighting groups within the inner cities that are actively working against violence.

In our pursuit of a safer and more unified community, we advocate for a shift in mindset. It is time to stop relying solely on external help and start taking charge of our own neighborhoods. If we can rally together and demand justice when a police officer kills one of our own, we must also take responsibility for addressing the issues within our community. Our platform aims to shed light on the efforts of local organizations that strive to create positive change and promote peace amidst the turmoil.

During this video, we share a personal story about the loss of a dear friend during a past Memorial Day weekend, illustrating the real impact of these senseless acts of violence. We commend Stephen A. Smith for being a part of the necessary and difficult conversations that challenge the status quo. It is evident that the current state of affairs cannot continue, and we must collectively work toward a better future.

Join us as we encourage dialogue, foster unity, and advocate for change within our communities. Together, we can create an environment where justice, peace, and the value of every individual's life are upheld
