A group of Black students from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High called a press conference today to say they have concerns that may not mirror those of their white peers. And that the media should listen. #MSDStrongpic.twitter.com/f3iy85Szi7

Tyah-Amoy a Marjorie Stoneman Douglas student said conversations about gun violence have to include police violence. She asked, the same people who showed up for
#MarchForOurLives--will they show up for#StephonClark?#AltonSterling?#SandraBland?pic.twitter.com/QIhvy9gYHDShow this thread -
About 8 media organizations covered this press conference-- most of them local. One student said the school's black students are not being represented. She peered into the news cameras and said, "Well here we are. Do you see us?"

I do understand the fear even though I haven't exp. it for myself. Accountability needs to happen for things that have happened but that's how it starts: by believing the bad actions of a few are representative of the whole; which they're not. We should know that.

Kai is 100% accurate & entitled to feel that way. It’s a rational concern based on consistent behavior that is visible & easily documented in police response as it relates to race. White criminals are “taken without incident” while other ethnicities get 20 bullets & a body bag.

Heres an idea: dont break the law.

Thanks, Mr. Perfect. Just think of all the times you broke the law and didn't get caught; or you flashed your White card.

What’s a white card ?
-
Glad you asked. It's the privilege you get for having White skin. Black men get pulled over, searched, arrested, beaten and sometimes killed for things that would be overlooked with a White man. No shade, no shit.

Statistics don’t show what your saying ! Young blk men have a greater chance of dying of violence by other blk men than police officers !
-
You asked me what it meant and I told you. It's up to you to believe it or not. I couldn't care less.

Fair enough ! But facts should matter !

What facts, pray tell, are you dealing with?
