Favorite Billboard

A Black owned business in Memphis sponsored my favorite billboard of the year. It says, 

"Black lives do matter, so let’s quit killing each other."

Memphis is our third most dangerous city. Heavily African-American it shares that distinction with the others in America's top ten most deadly. They are in order, 

1-Detroit

2-Oakland

3-Memphis

4-St Louis

5-Cleveland

6-Baltimore

7-Milwaukee

8-Birmingham

9-Newark

10-Kansas City

The number of murders in 2015 jumped by 33% or more in Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis. These are all cities with few Latino immigrants, documented or otherwise. 

"Black lives do matter, so let’s quit killing each other."

Talk of a illegal alien murder wave is false. 

It is always easier to blame the outsiders for what ails us. We are the problem. This is the inconvenient truth.
