Media Matter Reports:
"You know why white lives matter? Because that's what white people believe. The dirty little secret is, black people don't believe that black lives matter."

Racism is still alive and well in the United States. What makes me angry is this is Houston, one of the most diverse cities in America, and we can still have racist nonsense like this being spouted on the air. Personalities like Michael Berry, if left unchecked, poison the minds of listeners. It's not his voice alone, it's multiple voices coming together to create a narrative that black lives don't matter. As long as those voices are allowed to exist, unified and unopposed, it will continue to infect our society and create a narrative in which the bestial African American male is continuously prone to violence that the angelic white male is not.
Nonsense. Rubbish. And in the strongest of words, bullshit.
Every Houstonian should complain about this. I've alerted a number of people I know in the community about the same. This type of dialogue cannot be allowed to continue.
