They’re locked up because we are stealing more than other races. We need to become much better on this.
The stores didn’t just wake up and say, “let’s lock these up from black people.”
This is a result of us stealing. It’s that simple.
Appreciate you calling this out.
I do wonder when the Black community, writ-large, will have a change of heart, a change of culture.
People think because I share crime stories involving Black men, I'm racist.
But put simply... I follow the cases the national press won't touch BECAUSE of the race of the perpatrators.
Iryna Zarutska.
The bond decisions in Charlotte NC.
The judges who keep putting violent repeat offenders back on the street.
The victims don't get to pick who hurt them, and they deserve coverage too.
If covering what actually happened makes me the problem, the problem isn't me.
I want what's best for America... period.
And right now, we need to be honest with ourselves and say we have a Black crime problem.
It is not racist to state statistics.
Of adults arrested for murder, 51.3% were Black, despite Black people only being 13% of the population.
This is a problem we need to speak honestly about to find a solution.

Also in the news about Walgreens...
Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing outrage from Chicago residents over Walgreens store closures, particularly on the South Side.
Walgreens is closing its longtime Chatham store on June 4 after $1 million in losses in 2025 and high theft rates.
The store had been there more than 20 years. Walgreens said theft at that location was four times the company average.
Walgreens spent $400,000 a year on security officers in addition to other measures, but that wasn’t enough.
Thieves would break through the defenses and rob the store anyway.
Johnson needs to seriously address the crime that’s making businesses leave Chicago.
"We should not have to leave our community to loot a Walgreens"
