YELL HIS NAME!


Say his name, Keith Porter Jr., have you heard it? probably not, because what do we care about a black man, right? also a father. 'Active shooter' for celebrating New Year? for living his life, on his property, but we don't hear about him because he's not a rich white man. Seems like the name comes with a meaning, because they are indeed cold as ICE. 'Brave' they call that monster who 'protected his community'. now i ask: what was the difference between them? the answer? one is a white man. So don't say his name, YELL HIS NAME. KEITH PORTER!
