Chauncey Bailey was the hardest working man in journalism.
Ignored by big media, Chauncey fought for decades for the voiceless, telling their stories and the lessons they reveal, even if big media never listened.
Here's what I learned from Chauncey's piece above GENOCIDE OR HOMICIDE: BLACK ON BLACK MURDERS.
Take two humans in America, one White, the other Black.
Everything in their experience is equal, education, social standing, health, finances, etc. The only difference is exposure to racism in America.
Chauncey reported the Department of Justice statistic that the Black person is six times more likely to be the victim of homicide and seven times more likely to commit homicide.
The stress burden of racism in a human life is go great that for many, violence is perceived as the only acceptable solution to a problem, especially since the peace pipe is illegal.
The pressure must be relieved if these numbers are to change.
Like Dennis Kucinich said in this summer’s YouTube CNN Presidential Debate, this country needs to repair the damage it’s done in order to go forward in peace and prosperity.
