Endangered Black Men

It looks like we have lost another Black man to senslessness, and Vernon Forrest is the newest notable victim. Forrest, notoriously known handing Sugar Shane Mosely his first defeat was killed in what appears to be a robbery. I literally knew nothing of this man nor his accomplishments, yet it brings light to the unfortunate situation we struggle with within the Black community, homicide and the death of our men. How many black men must we lose in the public eye before this issue becomes priority within our community?
Yes we discuss the issue, but what is being done to prevent it? What gun laws are in place to ensure the safety of our young people? So what do you think, isolated situation, or is this a microcosm of our larger problems? I'm unsure, but I tell you as someone who is the sister of two black men, its disheartening and terrifying to see the rates in which our men are dissipating and makes me feel rather helpless. How about you?
