23 times America failed black people in 2014
Without question, black people dominated news coverage this year, but often not for reasons many would celebrate.
As America witnessed the killings of unarmed black people by police, the reality of a broken justice system, the perpetuation of various anti-black stereotypes and racism rearing its head within many major institutions, the country had no choice but to face its racial demons head-on.
Here are but a few of the many moments when the country failed its black citizens in 2014.
While I don’t agree with the “white people appropriating black music” one because music is for anyone talented enough to play it, most of these do make me sick.
