Well, I used to live with black crime every day. And it's a horrible, horrible, nightmarish thing. That's pretty sad for you if you've come to see it as no big deal.
But hey, I have a solution for your problems: the police can completely pull out of the hood and let it rot. That would be fine with me.

Rallies against this sort of violence don't get much attention either. That doesn't mean they don't happen.

Racists just want to focus on the black on black violence and pretend that no one cares, when in reality people are working on that problem all across the country every single day in just about every city of any size. The media just ignores it, either because they don't see money in it or because they're also desperately trying to push a racist narrative.
Christ, man, I was talking about the people who put up a banner in my school. . And your statements about the media prove my point. Some people here have a hard time following an argument.
And yes, there are people working on the problem of black-on-black violence every day. They're called the POLICE.

Default 45 dead in Baltimore in July alone: how many killed by racist cops?

It's always easier to blame something on others than to take responsibility for ones own actions.

That was weak. You know I didn't say black on black crime in specific low income areas is not a big deal.

Paying government employees to gun people down across all socioeconomic realms is a big deal, too. Street crime doesn't negate that problem.

Your argument is pretty easy to follow, actually.

You don't care about black on black violence, as evidenced by your apparent enthusiasm for having the police "completely pull out of the hood and let it rot."

In an effort to appear less racist, you project your lack of concern onto others. And if that weren't enough, you use black on black violence as a weapon to try to quash the issue of police violence against minorities.

Why do you need blacks to stop killing blacks in order for cops to stop killing blacks.

You should really examine the bigotry in your heart I'd you don't get this.

Blacks can use the n-word. Blacks can kill other blacks. But at the moment a white person ever says the n-word and/or ever kills a blacks person...

They cry wolf racism.
And then some ask for additional entitlements due to the racism..

The "desperate, broken culture" thing's gotten old. Sorry. Today's hood rats have NO idea how bad things really were for Black people during Jim Crow and their kind are disrespecting what Dr King stood for. Sheesh!

Respect is earned. Act the fool, get treated like the fool and that goes for people of ANY skin color.
