This isn’t about minimizing one incident to elevate another. It’s about consistency. About how quickly some leaders respond to certain communities − and how quiet they become when Blacks are attacked.

Within hours, a viral video of the fight became a national conversation. But I can't help but ask, where was the same energy this past February when neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan sympathizers marched through Lincoln Heights, a historic Black community in Cincinnati?

Armed white supremacists showed up with swastikas, shouted racial slurs, and intimidated Lincoln Heights residents in their neighborhood. The trauma it left behind still lingers. And yet, beyond local community leaders and a few officials, there was no national condemnation. No viral tweets. No press conferences. No calls to action.

Where were Ohio’s elected officials like U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, or Vice President J.D. Vance? Where were the voices of influential figures like Elon Musk, who often speak loudly on matters of free speech and public safety?

We see you now. And we saw your silence then.

This isn’t about minimizing one incident to elevate another. It’s about consistency. About how quickly some leaders respond when certain communities are affected − and how quiet they become when it’s a Black community under attack.

In Lincoln Heights, residents were forced to form an armed watch group just to feel safe again. There were no emergency meetings. No federal statements. Just silence. And in that silence, we heard everything.

To those in positions of power who chose not to speak up when it mattered: Your silence was golden − but not in a good way. It was strategic. It was loud. And it was deeply felt by those of us still waiting for justice, recognition, and protection.

Communities like Lincoln Heights deserve more than thoughts and prayers. We deserve the same urgency, visibility, and solidarity that others receive.
