ONN – 2021 Juneteenth Shooting At Lake Merritt Reveals Some Black Kids Don’t Value Black Life – Our Fault – vlog by Zennie62 YouTube
2021 Juneteenth Shooting At Oakland Lake Merritt Reveals Some Black Kids Don’t Value Black Life. And it’s our fault.
As much as it started as a Juneteenth Celebration, video you’re about to see is hard to watch. It has scenes of the aftermath of a violent shooting at Lake Merritt in Oakland on Juneteenth 2021.
But the video also reveals another problem: how some black kids have come to devalue the lives of other black kids. Take the teens who spontaneously decided to dance in a provocative way called “twerking” and right at an ambulance vehicle. What was that all about? In my view it was about the psychological impact of the constant devaluation of African Americans in society.
I contend this is due to the very structure of our society. Everything from how black men are still portrayed in entertainment, to the very idea offered up by the white-owned media that someone black can’t be the expert at a topic other than the black experience, to the often quoted statistics that communicate that a kid should expect a negative experience with the police, rather than demanding the police treat black kids with the same respect at the President of The United States. All of those examples, and ones you can think of, have created a climate that caused this incident.
I await your comments and idea how we can solve this problem.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
