Kevin Gates: Black Lives Matter is BS When it Comes to Black on Black Crime

[satam55]

Kevin Gates has shared his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement, although no one asked him to. In a video, he basically says that the movement is bullsh*t because they only get riled up when a white person kills a black person but don’t care when black people kill other black people. Here we go.

Kevin, did black on black crime matter when you kicked that female fan in the chest at your show? A lot of people think that black people don’t care about the black on black crime in their communities, but they are very wrong. Most of the time when a black person kills another black person, they get locked up. Recently, as we’ve seen with Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Mike Brown, there have been no convictions. That is the point of these marches, protests and boycotts…to help get our people equal justice.

Black people aren’t uniquely predisposed to commit crimes against each other; crime is generally just racially segregated, based on a number of factors, including that most people commit crimes against people they either know or live near. According to the FBI’s 2014 Uniform Crime Reports, close to 90 percent of African-American homicides were committed by other African Americans, while the majority (82 percent) of white American homicide victims were killed by other white people.

Another factor that contributes to crime is poverty. A 2014 special report by the Department of Justice found that black and white households that lived in poverty were much more likely to be victims of crime, and were victims of crimes at similar rates (51.3 per 1,000 compared with 56.4 per 1,000, respectively).

Black people are more likely to live in poverty without the resources necessary to get out of it.

So, Kevin, before you speak about black lives matter and black on black crime, please research.

There are over 41 organizations in Chicago attempting to combat black on black crime. Hundreds around the united states. Join one, create one, or shut the fukk up.

I've lived in 4 states, 6-7 cities(and have traveled damn near everywhere in the US except West Coast) and have seen the same shyt over and over in everyone of those places. For a lot of people maybe media brings it to the forefront but again, I've seen it with my own eyes. Everywhere I've been it's the same crab in the barrel, nikkas hating on any other black man that's successful, killing each other for no reason type bullshyt.

Cops get paid to "protect & serve"... criminals/gangbangers don't. Simple as that. Kevin Gates sounds like a dummy.

Are you even black?
There is a problem in every race. No one talks about white on white crime or how latins kill other latins.

But because America has made the black race seem like the ultimate evil this is what we need to focus on?

Civilian kill civilians point blank period

but when someone who is paid with tax payers money to protect and serve our communities turn around and kill us for the smallest incidents, the first thing you think of is, what about black on black violence??

U OBVIOUSLY don't give a fukk about the problem cause if u did. U would know the problem is addressed all the time. U would know of the many organizations and programs to combat the violence in the community. List the things YOU do to help the community. Not to mention the issues are not even remotely related and we're not the only group of people who commit crimes against eachother. Whites kill whites. Latinos kill latinos. Asains kill asians. Etc etc. U dumb asses only care about black on black crime when u wanna deflect from the real issue. One yaself.
