Why Do Some Black Lives Matter More? A Tragic Tale of Two Brothers

4 months ago

In this powerful episode of the Broken Traditions Podcast, we delve into a deeply unsettling question: Why do some Black lives seem to matter more than others? We explore the tragic stories of two brothers—Roger Fortson, who was killed by law enforcement, and Andre Fortson, who lost his life as an innocent bystander in a gang-related shooting. Despite both being innocent victims, only one of their deaths garnered national attention.

We discuss the harsh reality that Black men are dying, but it seems like the only time their deaths make headlines is when law enforcement is involved. Why do we ignore the epidemic of Black-on-Black violence? Why are some tragedies overlooked while others ignite nationwide protests? It’s time to face the uncomfortable truth and start addressing the violence that’s taking our lives every day. Join us as we hold a mirror to society and ask the hard questions.
