With this being one of the most monumental weekends for Black History why does it have to be plagued with violence in Nightlife?
Not only does this weekend mark the birthday of the Black Revolutionary of the Civil Rights Movement Martin Luther King Jr, or the premiere of a biopic movie of one of the GREATEST Hip Hop Revolutionaries Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace but this weekend marks the inauguration of our FIRST Black President Barack Obama.
Why is it impossible to get through the weekend without one of our Black people being gunned down or stabbed?
Four men are in hospital after they were stabbed this weekend at an unofficial afterparty at the Brooklyn venue Djumbala for the film premiere of NOTORIOUS. A 21-year-old victim is in a critical condition at Brookdale Hospital. Three other men was wounded in the incident as well.
Last year around this time there were also numerous incidents, one involving the former Times Square nightclub Spotlight Live where one man from Newark, NJ was killed and 6 other people including a woman were stabbed. Another man popular to the urban scene was also wounded in a shooting that same weekend however he recovered.
After all Martin Luther King Jr. stood and died for, after the tragedy of loosing Biggie, after the triumph of a Black man winning the election when will violence especially amongst Blacks come to an end?

I was in DC and all I can do it say thank God nothing happened down there during Inauguration. You know that's what they were waiting for. All the black people to come to DC and act a fool and I'm proud to say that everyone there was on their best behavior... no shootings, homocides, nothing... it was all about peace and change. It was beautiful!
