blkcultureunfilteredThe grown folks had been talking for hours.Calling for resignations. Demanding accountability. Citing policy. Then Zianna Oliphant stepped up — so small she needed a stool to reach the microphone — and said what none of them could. “It’s a shame that our fathers and brothers are killed and we can’t see them anymore. It’s a shame we have to go through that graveyard and bury them. We need our fathers and brothers by our side.” The room broke. Tears everywhere. Because she wasn’t talking about reforms or investigations. She was talking about survival. About the violence of growing up without the men who are supposed to protect you — not because they left, but because the state took them. Keith Lamont Scott. Shot by Charlotte police. His family said he was unarmed. The footage? Unclear. The anger? Justified. But while the council debated and the protests raged, this child cut through all of it with a truth so simple it hurt: Black children shouldn’t have to grow up planning funerals. We shouldn’t have to teach our kids to expect loss. And the fact that we do — that Zianna already knows this grief at nine — is proof the system is working exactly as designed.Learn the 10 hidden stories they erased — link in bio.Media: @abcworldnewstonightSpeaker: Zianna OliphantView all 1,105 comments
