RIP, Whoever You Were

Last Sunday was the deadliest day in six decades in the city of Chicago, with 18 people murdered. The grand total for the weekend was 25, with another 85 wounded. All the dead were African Americans, killed by other African Americans. None of them will have a gold casket pulled through the city on a horse-drawn carriage, like George Floyd. In fact, we will never learn their names or a thing about them. The Reverend Al Sharpton, so loquacious at several of George Floyd's memorial services in different cities and at his funeral, has not said a word about these 25 lost lives. So we must conclude that black lives matter a whole lot more when they are ended by a white cop.
