Summary

I really, REALLY need you to understand something. The LOUDEST voices about gun violence in Black communities don't love Black people and don't love our communities. They talk about "black on black crime" not because they care about Black people, but as a way to make us look like subhuman.

But their lies are in the way and preventing us from making the progress that I know we can and MUST make. Let me tell you the first 3 lies that we must confront and overcome immediately.
