Most definitely is a topic of concern in the black community.

It's getting the dominant culture /race owned media to care that's the issue. Lots of black folks were lynched in the 1950's. But sometimes to "get through" to the dominant culture - a child hits the mark. As it went with Emnett and 4 little girls attending church - So it goes with Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis.

So we have to ask the question - who was the author of this article trying to reach?
