Sounds like you’re just ignorant, by the way Philadelphia is #24 on the list.

Congrats, you have one of the highest murder rates.

If you think for one second that we blacks spend the same time on black violence as we do police brutality then go ahead and drive through Southside Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, or NYC at night.

They‘ll shoot you and your kids without blinking and you won’t make national news for it.
You parrot the same nonsense talking points Republicans have been pushing for years. Schools, NFP, churches, celebrity-activism... orders of magnitude more money and resources have been spent on addressing the root causes of black on black violence than have been collected buy BLM. And it's sad that you don't know that.

Republicans didn’t kill 14, 16, and 8 years olds last week.

We did that, black people. And we do it every damn week.

Stop blaming other people for your problems, a white man didn’t pull those triggers. I don’t see Asians and Hispanics gunning eachother down by the dozens every weekend.

It’s sad that you want to blame Republicans for black on black violence. Ben Carson and Colin Powell never killed any black people. Candace Owens isn’t in the hood gang banging. Clarence Thomas isn’t on probation.

Not a big deal based on the population. Murders happen. They just dont happen a lot. And they dont happen randomly.

We commit 50% of the murders in America, and we’re only 14% of the population.

I know you don’t care about black lives, but I do.

Black lives matter, oops except those nine yesterday that we shot. Oh and the ones we’re going to kill this weekend, and the next, and the following.

Where do I blame Republicans for Black on Black violence?

I blame Republicans for pushing the debunked and stupid talking point that Black people aren't doing anything about Black on Black violence.

I blame Republicans for believing that because they don't see protest, that Black people aren't doing anything about Black on Black violence.

I also blame Republicans for the other stupid talking point that Black people aren't allowed to tackle multiple issues at the same time, and need to completely resolved Black on Black crime before they can talk about anything else.

I dont support black lives matter. I'm a libertarian.

And black on black crime isn't a thing. Because murder itself is not that common

We’re not. Defunding the police is not a solution.

We aren’t. Pooling in reward money to find shooters is not a solution.

So, if the republicans are the author of our misery and not the democrats who we have trusted with our vote for decades, why are we still voting democrat? Clearly they suck at their job of helping blacks prosper?

African immigrants are prospering, while you’re whining about republicans.

African immigrants to the US are among the most educated groups in the United States. Some 48.9 percent of all African immigrants hold a college diploma.

Politicians can’t and won’t legislate blacks up the social ladder. They never have and never will.

Tell that to the police. It’s pretty common among black neighborhoods.

16k murders shared among 300 million people. I rest my case. Murder isn't a common cause of death for most Americans. Period. Spamming links don't change that
