There is a method in which we choose to ignore what's obvious and its called madness yes I agree with what he did AND the way he did it. It takes extreme measures to get the attention of the masses an the youth the blame game era is over you can no longer say it them or them doing it its now us doing these things to our selves with all the hatred an the I'm better than you attitudes the realizations of what is going by the few I'm proud to say I see things for what they are not what someone wants it to appear to be. Thank you sixx for your value an effort.

In the eighties, we fought a lot, but that's all we did. We didn't kill, we didn't even have weapons unless we picked something up in the street. Nowadays, people are killing each other regularly. Over the most minute issues. It's despicable! In my city, Rochester, NY, the male African American graduation rate is only 8%....lack of education is a contributing factor in street life and homicides and I think it's about time we, as a people, look at this problem for what it is!
Someone give this man a Nobel peace prize. Far too long, the AA community has spent most o our time blaming whitie or our problems when we are our own worse enemy.

If that's what going to galvanize our folks to get off their butts then kudos to you Director Sixx King. Far too long we just sit around and watch how our brothers are killing whoever is in their path of madness...or mental state! I am raising my son alone and he does have some issues. A lack of self control and he is 11. It's a challenge to retrain the brain to think properly...but hey I am up for the task. I also see in my community a lack of mentors and it hurts our young boys. How can they move forward if all they see is negativity! The village raising a child is completely gone and has been bamboozled into I only give a damn about my own and f everyone else. That collective attitude will continue to plaque and bring shame and grief to our beautiful but sad state of people and their mind state.

I am the mother of Christopher Spence, my son was murdered by another black young man with no hopes, dreams, or aspirations. He took my son's life and can never give that back. I am the mother who has been fighting to get a bill passed since my son's death, i am the mother who was denied restitution by Judge Glenn B. Bronson for my funeral expemses. I am the mother in the documentary of "Mothers Of No Tomorrow" who allowed SIXX KINg to follow and document my life during and after my son's death to share with the world a mother's pain and my plight and fight to save other mothers and fathers and loved ones from enduring what i have been through, going through and now living with. I am the mother who took the cahnce on standing out there along side of Sixx King risking my life to bring awareness to this self inflicted disease. I will continue to use any and all channels to bring awareness to this issue. One day at time, the Lord wil bring upon me roads to travel to continuie to impact the world by using one individual at a time that the aLord chooses to use to fight this epidemic.

We all are angry when we hear of white people who have killed a black person, and rightfully so. However, we should be just as angry and outraged when we hear of a black person taking the life of another black citizen. Many of these killings are just plain senseless. Case in point, the fifteen year old child who was killed in Chicago after returning home from the president's inauguration. I am sure that this child's parents are not feeling any more comfort that it was a black person who killed their child and not a white man. We have our priorities all mixed up. Thoses who are angry with the black man in the clan custoom should have joined him to show your outrage as well. Talk is cheap.

It's so sad to see our young brothers killing one another over nonsense. I remember growing up as a kid my farther taught us to respect our brothers and sisters, it's very rare to see it happen. We need to teach our history more in the house instead of the streets teaching our children.

Although the depiction reminds us of where we've from, we need to know that it is our own actions, or lack there of that is taking us back to those times. What is sadly unfortunate is that it is our own that doing the killing. Instead of a rope, they are using hand guns. We the African American community, are responsible for what is happening around us!!!! I find it disturbing that city council member Jones would only see the robe, and waited to acknowledge the truth behind the message!!!! When we come to terms with what is going on amongst our young and middle-aged men, then will we be empowered to confront the problems head on!!!!
It is time to stop rallying behind those advocates who only promote their agendas, and do absolutely nothing to help alleviate the problems that plague our communities!!!! Now that the time is critical, we start to see them recoil and hide, because they have no power, or any concrete solutions to bring to the table!!! I applaud Sixx in his effort to bring awareness to this shameful truth about us!! Collectively, we can overcome this, but it has to start with the individual person, home, and then the community at large!!!!
