In yet another example of valor and courage among the African American man who is reportedly in danger of extinction, because he is being killed off in alarming numbers, or being unfairly incarcerated, comes this story.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - March 2nd should have been one of the happiest days of this couples life, yet they end up facing their worst nightmare. Just as his wife is going into labor and being helped into a cab, a man and his wife are robbed at gunpoint by two cowardly thugs. Who the hell robs a woman in labor? Who??

Now I will be called a racist because of my initial paragraph in this story. That's ok, you are entitled to your opinion...but it has nothing to do with race on my part. It has to do with the ridiculousness of the notion that black men are being picked off and killed, or slighted at every turn and that' is why they are becoming extinct. CLEARLY this is not true. When two men choose to rob, by gunpoint, a defenseless, unarmed woman who is just trying to bring a new life into this world, they brought on their own demise.
