Expenditure

Are black girls expendable?

That word implies a kind of payment - something to be traded in exchange for a product, a service, a body, a life force, a life. Where do we find our own children, our people, our lovers, our loved ones, that we are willing to negate the responsibility of one man and force blame on a child? Perhaps if we believe that individual responsibility for the self takes precedence over responsibility for the collective (group, race, etc.) then the decisions we make everyday are not as important, or hold less impact. We can be blameless, shameless, powerless, forever.
