Nike probably killed 10x as many in their South Asian sweatshops than AA's killed each other over their garbage product over the years

Another unfortunate tragedy in Americas mass consumer craze society

If white kids were being murdered at the same rate as black kids there would be government action. Most likely the wrong kind of action but the government would be forced to do something.

OP could have kept this to himself. This is a local news event that serves no broader discussion purpose other than of course gratuitous disparagement of "black culture" with the usual lack of proposed solutions.

When I moved to NJ in the mid 80's young Newarkers were killing for leather jackets.

What's with these fashions to die for? I don't get it.

No, it's just difficult to validly indict a large population of people based on it.

Yes because in the absence of viable solutions it's best to put one's head in the sand and ignore the destruction of a community.

Well if that was the aim then I guess you maybe right. So since most Blacks don't kill each other it is best to ignore the problem? Never mind Blacks make up 50% of all murder victims?

Seems to me folks are more concerned about the image of Black people than actually saving these young men's lives.
