Staten Island teen dies from asthma fleeing racist crew waving gun; ‘I’m gonna shoot you, n-----!’

The black Staten Island teen, fleeing a mostly white crew shouting racial epithets and waving a gun, collapsed and died last week from a fatal asthma attack.

Dayshen McKenzie died while running for his life from young white males who had a gun. 

Dayshen and his friends ran into the group of white guys near Checkers . White guy said “You got a problem? ” and one of Dayshen’s friends responded him with the same question. After that they pulled out a gun and  McKenzie and his friends ran for their lives hearing racial slurs from behind. Unfortunately, it was the day Dayshen forgot his inhaler at home…

“They were chasing him — that’s a crime. You’re hunting them because they’re black … You’re calling them a n—-r.”

“To me, it’s murder, to me, it’s a hate crime.”said    Fatigati, an ex-NYPD officer and 9/11 responder, who rushed to the aid of the dying McKenzie.

“I want justice for him. Somebody should be held accountable.” Tisha Richardson, McKenzie’s mom.

Another innocent life taken because of racism, another family mourns about the loss. We pray for you.

RIP  Dayshen McKenzie.

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed

I remember being teased relentlessly throughout my childhood and my teenage life where people would say that because of my skin I’ll never be beautiful enough, they would even recommend skin bleaching products. So as a child I quickly realised that as a dark skinned girl I was not considered beautiful enough… At that time I didn’t know that it was the negativity from the people around me that was causing me to hate my skin and myself for that matter. I remember a time during school photos where a girl shouted “she’s too dark! You won’t see anything on her ID but her teeth!”, of course everyone laughed it out… And so did I…. Because I didn’t want to make it seem like I was offended… Their feelings felt more important than mine… After all growing up I was always reminded of how unlikely I was of ever being beautiful or finding someone that found my darkness beautiful….. As a 19 year old today I sit here and say “I never gave in to skin bleaching”, “I was constantly reminded of how ugly I was but that only made me love myself even more….. I began considering myself as someone different, someone beautiful and out of the ordinary.” Your skin no matter how dark it is that when you smile you can only see the glow of your teeth is worthy of love, your skin is that of a goddess and you should never feel anything about your skin but self love. I write this to all of the people that have gone through similar and worse, you don’t need to learn to Love your skin, the love is already there… You just gotta unleash it.

I would like to hear some stories of yours if you’ve ever gone through the same thing…. Message me on Instagram. IG: YoungNubiie
