🚨Let me ask America a question. If four White males were accused of shooting a 15-year-old Black boy on Halloween night, would the nation immediately start asking whether race played a role? Now reverse the races. His name was Austin Payne. He was 15 years old. Four individuals, ages 15 to 22, have been charged in connection with his murder in Albany, Georgia. This child reportedly called his mother after being shot. She found him the following morning inside an abandoned apartment. Now explain something to me. Why isn’t the possibility of a hate crime being publicly examined? Did investigators consider racial animus? What evidence did they find? And why should anyone be afraid to ask those questions? I’m not claiming racial motivation has been proven. I’m asking whether the same investigative standards are being applied. Because if four White suspects and one Black victim would prompt questions about racial hatred, then four Black suspects and one White victim should not make those questions disappear. Justice cannot be contingent upon complexion. And the moral incongruity of demanding racial accountability in one case while dismissing the question in another deserves serious examination. Austin Payne was somebody’s child. His mother deserves answers. And America deserves a justice system that applies the same standards to everybody. Watch this video, examine the facts, and consider the question that should transcend every racial and political division in America. Does every child’s life matter equally when the cameras start rolling? #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks
