The man in Miami a few years ago was shot and killed. The newest crazy cannibal murderer was apprehended unharmed. Not a scratch on him. The only difference? The surviving cannibal was a young white man. Every day. It happens every day. I am so sick of it. I am sick of my white acquaintances talking about ( the myth of) "black on black crime". As if they actually care. But it is just another way of demonizing a whole race (race-for lack of better term)of people. It is heartbreaking to me.

At least they didn't go out of their way to imply that the victim deserved it.
