During a hunting trip gone bad, a dentist shot and killed the famous Cecil the Lion. Pundits, celebrities, and political personalities spoke up immediately about the importance of respecting the lives of lions and other creatures. As this took place, a police officer was being charged with the murder of an unarmed black male, with no response from mainstream media or public figures.
This Sunday we will discuss race privilege, the growing issue of animal poaching, and why lion lives seem to matter more than black lives.
