i am so mad about this that I want to join the army, conduct my own personal investigation, and then take out all of those involved in her death. iShe look like my little sister and I am boiling with anger over this. Us black men of america gotta take this fight to the enemies door step and show him that our lives are priceless. Her death will be avenged…i promise cuzz…from the streets -1.
This is tragedy at its best. This is the most atrocious act of miltary iunfairness assertive of racial overtones that I have ever heard of. Where are the Black organizations and if they are present why is there no visibility? have we in Black America forgotten that racism and bigotry is alive and kicking? Black America must not be lulled to sleep because a Black Cinderella family is in the ‘White House’. There is no Nobel Peaace Prize in Black America only “Just us” instead of Jus-tice.
