Reading The Advocate, I see yet another young Black woman killed in New Orleans with her baby in her arms. Where is Ben Crump and Al Sharpton? Where is the outrage?
Crump and Sharpton show up when dollars are involved or a chance to rant on the news. They were both highly visible for the young man who died while being restrained on the subway. Where were they when he was arrested 44 times, once for the unprovoked attack on a 67-year-old woman? Why weren’t they there to ensure he got the help he needed?
It shouldn’t be about how much money they can squeeze from the situation. It should be about getting much-needed mental health for our young people.
