"pressure pushed him to the earth like a rain drop"
Last week, the city that raised me managed to make national news by acquiring the dubious distinction of the 7th most dangerous city in the US. It took me a little time to digest the fact that the place I call home is considered to be more dangerous than Compton, CA. I knew Charleston was crazy but I never thought it was that bad. After talking to my mother about the situation in North Charleston she basically confirmed what I already knew; young black males are killing young black males. It's a tragic cycle that Mos Def so eloquently describes here...
