The tragic death of Missouri teen Mike Brown sparks controversy. Sunday evening social media was in an uproar about the senseless acts taking place in Missouri. In the midst of the uproar, rapper David Banner drops a few gems of knowledge on twitter for his fans and more to see.
Our situation is more psychological than people will admit. Black kids kill black kids for the same reason cops do. They see no value.

Do we not treat ourselves the same way they do. We have never dealt with the psychological trauma of slavery. So it continues.

Black hate was beat, raped, and evangelized into our grandparents and passed on through generations both to black and white children alike.

David Banner then made an appearance on CNN Tuesday (August 12) and sheds more light on the troubles of Black families in America.
Banner says;
White cops do not see value in young, Black men,” said the rapper on African American youth. “And the reason why a lot of young, Black men –– not all Black men –– kill each other is because they don’t see any value either. So many people have bought into this Americanized system, and America historically has always tortured, killed and enslaved Black people. And I have not forgot that.
