Buzzfeed wrote a racist fake headline claiming two black dudes fought to the death over a chicken sandwich

Family and friends deny it had anything to do with chicken

Meanwhile 4 people were shot to death in Chicago last weekend but this is what gets coverage

Coming from the southside of chicago it was a given that media would never talk about the problems we faced

I dont know what Buzzfeed was thinking when they wrote this

Why is this worthy of coverage? Why the fake headline???

The never came down to my neighborhood when someone died they never gave a shit.

I can only imagine what people in worse off communities felt

This was senseless violence for reasons unknown but I guess its funnier and gets more clicks

The best we can say is that the fight was over cutting in line, that it was more senseless violence affecting marginalized communities

There is nothing to suggest they fought over a sandwich, no one died defending a fucking sandwich
