Black on black violence is talked about and there are protests. Just because you don't see them (or they don't gain national attention), doesn't mean they don't happen.
You don't see them because they're small and rarely happen. The powers that be, don't care because there's nothing in it for them. They can't really push a political agenda. Or they can't make it a race isssue(i.e. Al Sharpton). The media doesn't push it because they know nobody really cares, and its not as sensational as racist white man kills black youth for "no reason".
No. The outrage was over an armed man just being able to walk away from killing an unarmed kid. So unless there's a wave of Chicago killers running around, shooting people, then carrying on w/ their day, your example remains a stupid comparison.

OK, so who are you blaming? Black people for not caring or the media for not pushing it because they know nobody cares?
Most protests are local protests. Only cases with national attention (which usually involve extraordinary circumstances) get the media's attention. That's why hundreds of children go missing every year, but only a few gain national attention. That doesn't mean no one cared (or didn't go looking) for those other children.

As a Black man I have to lol, at all the "outrage" from blacks, liberals, and the liberal media, about the how the Travon Martin trail verdict. but you don't here a peep out of most of these people at the slaughter of young black men by other black men going on in Chicago right now(and other urban areas). If Geoarge Zimmerman was black and had shot and killed Treyvon Martin(for whatever reason) that trial wouldn't have gotten 30 seconds on the news, there would be any protest. I guess black people who get murdered don't count unless its by "whitey". Where the Outrage for Chicago, where's the mass protest, where's those clowns Jesse Jackson, and Al sharpton? When is President Obama going to address the violence is Chicago? When I go out, I don't worry about being harmed by a white person, I'm more worried about somebody who looks like me putting a bullet in my back.
The violence took place after the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church in an anti-violence rally on the city's South Side Friday evening.
The following are links to other stories about protests over the violence in Chicago.
Where is the faux outrage from the Black community for the violence in Chicago?
Mainstream media is not concerned with black-ob-black murder. To them it's not news.
Whitey must kill black for their agenda. That's the politically correct thing to do. 6% of
blacks are killed by whites, 94% of blacks are killed by blacks, it's hard to sensationalize
that so they ignore it.
Ratings / readership / web hits = Money
Always follow the money.
America does not find it interesting that violent urban youth kill violent urban youth.
Once it gets into suburban non black communities it then becomes fodder.

Agreed tho Zimmerman IS "Black" through his Afro Peruvian mom.
