Now there's my statement, I await yours when some white child, woman, man, is barbarically killed by a white person or gang, and I cannot wait to hear you demand that white people speak out against the white on white crime.
I agree with you here in the first paragraph and my heartfelt condolences are extended to this poor girls family and loved ones as well.

With that being said, I am white (surely, you've come to this conclusion already). And if white people were killing each other in record numbers in mass urban areas like they do in Chicago, Detroit, and Baltimore, I would most definitely have a voice in the arena. But the fact is that they don't. And when it does occur, it is an isolated incident, without riots and other unrest to follow.

The OP is black, though, so why don't you focus your responses on him. A militant liberal despises nothing more than an intelligent black man that can think for themselves and is not part of the democratic plantation.
The OP obviously gets the big picture, and is hopefully welcome to returning and discussing it since they started the thread.

I looked at the Baltimore news clip and noticed that while the police commissioner was reporting on the case, a white officer standing next to him was smiling. I am not sure why he would smile about a 16 year old girl being raped and murdered. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it just seems like he was a bit giddy that things are deteriorating in Baltimore. --These officers just need to resign, because I think many of them really do harbor a lot of dislike for the city's inhabitants. As cops, they should never be seen smiling or gloating during a murder/rape press conference. This is just sickening. Baltimore needs to fire the entire police force and start anew. There is just too much corruption and pathology there.

I wonder if the idiots who advocated doing away with police during the riots will handle this matter and bring about justice for the girl's family?

Truth is, Black on Black murder is nothing new. It has been going on for decades upon decades. This kind of news is nothing new. As cruel and sad as it is, it's common in the ghetto.

Why does this have to be a race issue? A beautiful young girl dying like this, in agony, following the torture they inflicted on her. Then the complete disrespect of burning her body.

I hope those two rot in hell, no matter their color or her color.

And in response to the above poster, murder itself is nothing new. Got nothing to do with black on black, white on black, white on white, black on white. Murder has been going on for decades upon decades.

What is wrong with the human race?

Dude, we can talk about ratios, we can talk about percentages, hell we can talk about records but the fact is in 2011 some 2,600 white people were murdered by white people! I don't know about you but that is a lot of people. That is half the number of U.S. service men and women killed in Iraq over a 10 year period. And you are going to sit there and tell me that all it goodness and light except for Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore?!?!

It would appear to me that you have a rather selective criteria for intelligent black folks, as in agree with conservative white Republicans or be accused of the silliest of sophistic arguments.

I disagree, usually gang members target other gang members. It's not really common for black people to commit these sort of crimes. This is a very new phenomenon. But when you take away a people's language, culture and customs, they are left with nothingness. I'm not making excuses, it's just sad.

If you're going to make such an anti-cop racist statement you should post a link so we can judge.

Until then

Now, the burning, that is new. As far as Black on Black violence, that is nothing new.

The way things are, this is what I see. The breakdown of families has been a major death kneel. Now, as far as losing cultures, languages and other things, this is what I see. There is a difference between being an immigrant and being Black American. Immigrants come by choice. Immigrants come with a dream to do better. The forbears of Black Americans didn't have a say on whether or not they wanted to come or not. They lost everything and had to reinvent themselves in a new land. In some ways, it meant taking on the very worst things. Families breaking down was pretty much a death kneel for those living in the ghettos. Those who were able to get themselves out of that culture pretty much don't live in the ghettos anymore. Those who didn't make it retained it.
