Who says they arent? The same people who refuse to lift a finger to change it? Listen black on black crime is a fallacy. Plenty of wealthy, middle class, and lower class black people who are not out killing each other. And for the ones who do live in cities with high black mortality rates you always find higher rates else where in the city. Highest rate of drop out. Highest rate of poverty. Highest rate of unemployment. There is a science to the violence. A science that is shown to be truthful all over the world...poverty and oppresion breeds violence, crime, and remorseful behavior. Its not a black issue. Its not a black thing. Its a poor people thing...as stated. So until we can fix that deeper issue I dont want hear some black on black crime physco babble nonsense.

I have no problem with him being this passionate about black on black crime but not to detract from police brutality. I don't see him bringing it up on the regular, in fact I'm pretty sure I've heard him talk about harming black men too :mjpls:

Let's examine this, Chicago has a 25% homicide clearance rate, 488 homicides last year, that's about 366 murders without anyone going to jail. 34-102 unarmed black men killed by Police in 2015, that means more people are freely walking around the streets of one city with bodies than in all the precincts in America combined.
Yes but these people would be prosecuted if caught on tape killing another person thats what you dont get new member of my ignore list.

Another thing about this...it's easy, or it seems easy, to know how to respond to police brutality. Police are paid employees of the government. The government is supposed to respond to people. There is a history of the government listening to people (to a certain point) when they go out into the streets, disrupt business as usual, etc.

With "black-on-black crime", you have private citizens committing offenses against each other. What would a protest movement do about that? Protests usually exist and are effective at putting pressure on public collective entities, such as the state or companies, not atomized individuals.
