I feel terrible for these people.
They have ****ty role models, ****ty people pulling their strings and telling them how to live. Sucks.
I really wish they could see what is really going on.
They all have the capacity to break away and succeed in life but they are not being allowed.

Most major outlets won't report it and BLM won't care because it's not a white cop killing a black person.

So as people who obviously care about what Black people are doing, I'm going to ask you the same question I asked in each of these threads.

Are Black people allowed to care about and discuss more than one thing at a time?

I cannot even turn on the Chicago local news. like over the weekend, maybe Monday the first 4 news reports were shootings. I had to turn it off.


Meanwhile the stupid mayor refuses help from President Trump to help Chicago.


She has failed the communities she promised to help.

Black on black murder has been a problem for Black people for decades. It dates back to the 50s and 60s. It was at its worst during the 1980s (crack era).

It never really went away ...

America’s Inner-City Cartels (there's a paywall)

"Headlines were seized this month by the ambush and murder of three American women and six children by drug traffickers in Mexico. Americans were naturally shocked by the brutality of the cartels. But it would be a mistake to think it doesn’t happen here. Similarly brutal crimes frequently occur among black Americans in our own cities, generating much less coverage. There are signs that gang violence is rising---and spilling over its boundaries in a way that puts more innocent people at risk."

An interesting read:

So Black people can spend time & resources addressing Black on Black crime in the community AND police brutality at the same time? They don't need to solve one before they can address the other?
