Black Culture Talks Loud About Revenge but Stays Quiet When Kids Die | EP 079

This episode of Broken Traditions dives into a troubling question: Why did a 7-year-old Black boy get killed in Jacksonville and barely make the news—while a man who killed a cop after his son was shot by police is being praised online? We explore the silence around Breon Allen Jr.’s tragic death and compare it to the loud celebration of Rodney Hinton Jr.'s revenge. We’re not here to judge grief—but to ask: What does it say about Black culture when we normalize death but glorify retaliation?

Join me as I challenge this broken tradition head-on.
