Black on black crime is a deflection period
Especially when you're the one endorsing it thru your music
And I see why pac distance himself from Snoop
Breh, I love you, but I disagree with it being entirely a deflection. Do some folks especially white folks use Black on Black crime as a deflection? Of course. No doubt they do! But when anyone Black, especially Black and lacks a history of tap dancing brings it up, neither they nor their views should be tossed in the bushes. Like it or not, crime in the Black community is intrinsically linked to both the need for a police presence, and white supremacy as a whole. Here's the deal though, do you really believe people are going to wake up and look at the complete picture in our lifetimes? I dont. I just dont have that kind of faith in people. That said, I see nothing wrong with folks tackling different and multiple aspects of problems that plague the Black community.
The first few minutes of that clip Game talked about Black unity. Admittedly I havent watched the rest and plan on doing so later, but its ridiculous to hate on his entire position and message even if there is a certain aspect of his platform you disagree with. He's not anti Black, and is seeking to mitigate Black on Black violence, but because he threw an olive branch to police that makes him a c00n? I cant agree with that. Here's the deal, like it or not, theres a ton of issues the Black community is up against and its impossible for folks to see the forest through the trees and recognize white supremacy as the chief culprit. That said, they see one tree labeled police brutality, and in the distance notices another tree labeled Black on Black crime. Both need to go, and there's nothing wrong with making note of the similarities of both. Especially when the one making note is a Black person with noble intentions.
