Who's Killing Who?

We as African Americans say, "They keep killing our young black men" or "we need to stop black on black violence." Have you ever thought that we are killing ourselves?  ........ Stereotyping always has and will always be wrong but when you portray yourself as certain things, one can't help but to categorize you into a group with similar qualities. Let me explain.......

Face to-face communication is 50 % body language, 40% tone of voice and 10% words.
If you speak with threatening words chances are you will be perceived as a threat. If you use an intimidating tone chances are you will intimidate people. When your body language is aggressive chances are you will be seen as combative.

So if you're claiming you own a block ( like mobsters use to), wear your pants sagging (like inmates), throw gang signs (like gang members), disrespect any and everybody (like delinquents) and brag about your illegal activities (like some criminals) you should expect to get treated as such.

Those (normally false) portrayals that (some) of our young men love to make, kill their chances of survival, advancement and a fair shot at life ~ so again I ask who's killing who?
