Irrelevant. We need to focus on black women wearing weaves instead. That's our number 1 issue.

I almost put single moms and deadbeat dads on that list.

If only I'd seen that worst mothers thread in TLR first. :banderas:

Donald Sterling is low hanging fruit.

It's a shame that we can't get more organized to tackle larger issues, but that doesn't make pursuit of his removal from NBA ownership invalid. Sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Black on Black violence is a symptom of larger institutional problems. And to be honest, if I made a list of priorities for Black America to address, Black on Black violence wouldn't be in the top 5. That's why people who actively work to disenfranchise us throw it out there as a distraction to undermine our work on other issues.

no, he is not "low hanging fruit." he is a very visible symptom of white supremacy and its effect on black mobility in america. he settled out of a lawsuit brought against him for discriminating against blacks and latinos in housing complexes he owned. he was caught on tape uttering racist opinions of blacks, in spite of being an owner of a team in an organization that makes its money off talent that is almost exclusively black.

you cannot separate the sterling incident from the issues precipitating black on black violence. i believe there needs to be accountability on the part of black people, but i also believe it is wrong to ignore how white supremacists like Sterling have impacted the lives of the very blacks who are affected by the violence in our neighborhoods.

I'm basing my point of view off of every conversation I've ever had with black people in real life and right here on this forum and other forums online. Whenever black people talk about black on black crime it is almost always in the context of what the white man has done to us and what he has to do about it. It is almost never the case of what we can do about it ourselves. And it's funny that this thread is 100% proof. When we finally do see a black man asking for help to stop the violence yall negroes can't help but to put him down because you don't like hearing it. There is always SOMETHING about black criticism you negroes just can't handle. Its like it eats you alive.

The way y'all are putting down this guy is exactly what is done to me in every thread where I have tried to show yall the light of day. The conversation ALWAYS ALWAYS shifts to what the white man has down and what the white man needs to do for us.

It's funny how the ONLY time there is a mass movement of blacks coming together is when a white man does something to a black man. You NEVER EVER see blacks coming together like this to stop black on black crime.


Some sort of indicator of how most black people feel. Most blacks are completely apathetic to black on black crime. If they feel its a problem, its a problem for the white man to handle not blacks.

I don't even waste time debating with these clowns. If they want my points they can dig through my previous material. The mere fact that you have fools calling this brother a c00n is despicable and is indicative as to how we are misguided. These negroes will come up with a million excuses as to why they can't fix their own problems. Their endpoint always leads, in some way or fashion, on the reliance of whites to fix OUR OWN problems. They have no logical solutions but routinely criticize us for not providing any. Their always spewing the "structure of white supremacy" this and that. Well, hell negro, when are you going provide a structure for own?
This video was never meant to underscore the effect of systematic racism nor was it meant to undermine the comments of Donald Sterling. I'm all for removing him from power. But how is his departure from the owner of the LA Clippers going to prevent the next group of brothers on their way to prison? How is his departure going to prevent the next young brother who gets murdered at the hands of another brother?
And these rappers and hiphop artist rise to the occasion when there's racism involved. But when it comes to the ongoing epidemic of black murder and incarceration they have nothing to say. And for them to speak out against it would be rather ironic considering they perpetuate that same type violence in their lyrics.
I'm done arguing with these c00ns as it pertains to us taking accountability FOR OUR own issues. These rappers have blood on their hands and so do the majority of black people who turn a blind eye to their own self imposed degradation. The debate over this is getting old already. It's time for brothers to wake up. And its time for brother like you and me to stand up.

When's the last time you marched? In fact, what are you doing PUBLICLY to uplift the plight of so-called African Americans and irradicate Black on Black crime?
he's too busy trying to spread knowledge on how we are genetically predisposed to violence and stupidity. only once we realize we are #inherently dumb and violent, can we succeed

Time out....the only thing we should be focusing on is getting these racist old pieces of shyt out of power. This other shyt will take care of itself when we get these old b*stards out of here and in boxes.

I have no issue with Black Criticism, I DO, have an issue with lies and propaganda used to
belittle or redirect the issues of blacks.

You honestly think that guy was trying to belittle or redirect black issues? You have very poor judgement if that's what you think.

For example a racist landlord like sterling who denies blacks and other minorities housing quarters
is just as bad as the dude who's gunning down someone from the next block over because they
forgot where some imaginary gang territory lines were drawn.
No it isn't. Denying housing is not comparable to putting a bullet in someone's chest.


I'm not "putting him down" I just don't understand WHY he's trying to
say I can't be outraged and disgusted by sterling's comments.
I don't recall him saying you can't be outraged by it. He was merely perplexed at why we are outraged at one thing, but not at another. Why do we put all of our energy into fighting racism but ignore everything else?

False.
This has already been proven wrong.
Check @tmonster 's link, if that doesn't work for you, you can easily
search up marches, which have taken place in the past.

You don't know that.
But damn it's telling what you feel about black people.
:ohlawd:
Gon' head an let it out !
As I have said before, the vast majority blacks do not care about those marches.

I don't care if it's "telling" what I feel about black people. You don't know what I feel about black people but I won't dispute the point because it's irrelevant. The ONLY thing that matters is whether or not what I'm saying makes any sense. And indeed it makes perfect sense, but too many negroes get their feelings hurt when I keep it real. I keep it real more than 99% of black people.

i don't know any black person that doesn't think black on black crime isn't a problem and this thread is not proof of anything breh.
90% of blacks do not believe it's a problem that blacks need to take accountability for.

It's really not. Crime has been trending downwards since the end of the crack era. It's actually at like a 40 year low. Possibly lower than that since I'm not sure how much White on Black and male on female violence was unreported prior to the Civil Rights Era.
It is most certainly not on a 40 year low. Don't make things up.

I post on facebook, reddit, and thecoli.com my views of the black community.
