192. There's something wrong with you.
Was Shakur killed because he was black? Was he a victim of a hate crime?

Was he just some innocent black man, minding his own business, who was singled out simply because of his race, or was he killed because he chose to associate with people who don't think twice about blowing a person's head off over some disagreement?

Hey, guess what - lots of people are killed, black and white, through no fault of their own. Shakur doesn't fall into that category. He lived his life on the edge and that's how he died. That's too bad, but for you to suggest that his life is more important than anybody else's is insulting, and for you to compare his death to Matthew Shepard's is outrageous!

I never said Tupac Shakur's life and death didn't matter, all I wa saying was McKinney should have used her position to advocate for those who didn't have platinum records hanging on the walls in their multi-million dollar mansion!

If you don't understand that then there's nothing I can say to make you understand.
