Young black men launch Twitter protest against racism
#IfTheyGunnedMeDown started after the shooting of Michael Brown
A LONDON accountant became one of hundreds of young black men this week to take to Twitter in protest at institutionalised racism.
Jamal Palmer told the Star yesterday that the protest was powerful because the police could turn photos of him and his friends against them.
The #IfTheyGunnedMeDown movement was sparked by the shooting of Michael Brown, of St Louis, Missouri, who was immediately portrayed by the media as a “thug”.
