Black or white, it shouldn't matter. No family white or black should experience the trial of being shattered. Both live should be valued, boy and girl. Society reveals the cruelty of this world. How many family members should cry? How many of our African-American teens shall die? The reality of the pain of life is a rude awakening. We are not asleep; we have just awakened from dreaming. Now that we have woken up, what do we do? Instead of turning on the television and being sung the blues. We should stop killing off each other and find a new way. Killing is a disease, and it's spreading everyday.
