If the Black struggle is taken for granted…it at times can come at the expense of our own people.
“Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was gunned down by police in 2014, issued a scathing response to Shaun King after the activist publicized details of a recent conversation they had. King published a record of a conversation he had with Samaria on Tuesday for his blog, “The North Star with Shaun King.” In the post, he highlighted the fundraising he did for Samaria in the wake of her son’s death. Samaria questioned King’s motives in her response before adding that she never gave him permission to raise money for her family,” per VladTV.
Samaria is in her rights to criticize this decision because exploitation is a reality.
At this point…Samaria should be mindful of who she speaks to because social media always salivate for a hot topic.
