THE DAILY "BEAT-DOWN"
Symbolically and empathetically we are beaten down with such "news" daily [of black on black crime in Chicago and other U.S. cities] to dissuade unity, to destroy community, and to engender hopelessness. Slaves were required to administer whippings to other slaves for the same reasons. Invariably some sycophants basked in their subservience, as do these thugs and miscreants in Chicago. For purposes of sanity, we must recognize such propaganda for what it is, and look to our own, see to our own. Thereby, thwart the virus from metastisizing!Or cure it and extirpate it where it has infected our own; so we can prove demonstratively how it's done!
