Why Are High Profile Ballers Suddenly Being Targeted?
Three masked robbers broke into the suburban Chicago home of New York Knicks center Eddy Curry on Saturday morning and held his family and an employee at gunpoint.
A police officer said the three offenders restrained Curry, 24, his family and an employee with duct tape inside the Burr Ridge home. No one was injured in the incident.
The incident comes nearly three weeks after Miami Heat star and Chicago native Antoine Walker was robbed at gunpoint at his $4.1 million home in Chicago's River North neighborhood.
Like Curry, the 6-foot-9-inch Walker, 29, was tied up with duct tape by masked intruders, and robbed of jewelry and cash. Walker's black Mercedes was also stolen, but later found.He later moved from the neighborhood.
Police aren't confirming whether the two crimes against the pro-athletes are related, but c'mon family, we know better.
If it turns out that Black folks are being these horrible home invasion robberies - both of which occurred in the Chicago area - would it make a difference to you?
Maybe it's me, but the idea of one of your own putting you through unnecessary drama leaves a bad taste.
Is that racist, or just keepin' it real?
What say you?
