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!
