reinforcement of the statement made in the press conference.

" we need to deal with our own internal issues "

Richard Sherman

You keep convientley skipping over what he said right after that :pachaha:

He said "before we point fingers at others" why do keep ignoring that key part? :mindblown:

You are either playing dumb, trolling or flat out ignorant.

Using black on black crime to deflect from race related crimes perpetuated against us is foolish.

BUT imo we are still very much a threat to ourselves and until we fix that and find some grounds of unity, we will never ever get ahead. And theres nothing c00nish about that.

And also, it seems like a ploy from the other side to prevent us to NOT discuss black on black crime. So as just to ignore it and act like it doesn't exist.

Do I agree with Sherman? No. Am I disappointed by his perspective, or lack thereof? Yes.

It's the same story with Kendrick. Conflating the issue of police brutality against blacks with black on black violence will always be wrong. Always.

But I'm not shocked by Richard's opinion, and I'm not sure why anyone would be.

His thoughts are shared by most any black person who would consider themselves "aware" in America. That is, any black person not on the Coli.

We are a group of some of the most socially conscious blacks on the face of the planet, I really do believe that, and it's goddamn beautiful to be apart of it.

However, I will never agree with this site's venomous attitude towards any black person who's thoughts don't line up exactly with our's.

Richard Sherman is not a lesser black man than any one of us for believing "there are good cops out there", or "the black community has some problems it should address".

It's ridiculous to think otherwise. Ease up brehs. :mjlol: Sherman did no damage to the black community by expressing his opinion. None. So why jump on his back so heavily?

I'm just not ready to label Sherm a c00n yet. And not just because I am a fan. Maybe I'm just not as willing to cast people out of the black community as quickly as the rest of you.:yeshrug:

Nah, the real c00ns are the dope pushers. The men who have 3 children and are fathering none of them. People looking over their own brothers or sisters as partners because they feel their own race is inferior. :francis: Not guys like Richard Sherman. Not hopping on the hate bandwagon on this one.

Another thing I forgot to mention about the black on black crime argument is that it is the biggest example of a strawman ever:

When black people are complaining about the law enforcement killings, they're also complaining about how some of them get away without proper punishment, along with the lack of accountability... meanwhile in a lot of those black on black crime moments, the murders go to jail pretty much every time.

So when you add in the fact that Black intraracial killings are at a similar level to white intraracial killings... it becomes a truly deflective and useless response that ends up changing the argument rather than discussing it.
Just to be clear, black interracial killings are NOT at a similar level to white interracial killings. The number that is similar is the percentage of killings that are done within the races. What's drastically different is the rates - for every 100,000 white people, 2.6 are murdered. For every 100,000 blacks, 18.3 are murdered.

So I would ask why are we killing each other at almost 9 times the rate. But I don't want to be labeled a "c00n".:rudy:

The bolded is 100% truth.

I don't think that you can call a person a c00n based of a comment. As you mentioned, being a c00n is all about your actions. You can talk all the ra ra black power shyt you want but if you are still engaging in things that harm the community or espousing these things you are part of the problem.

I don't hate Richard and I don't know his heart to know if he's a c00n or not. I do know that he fukked up with that statement though and there is really no way around it. Obviously there are good cops and obviously our community has it's issues. However, the cops out here killing unarmed black youth are not good. Our community's issues are not relevant to this discussion. To say "we have to get our issues together first" is just plain stupid. It's like saying that an obese person needs to exercise and eat better before they pursue prosecution for the person that shot them. The issues that we have in our community are deep and warrant being addressed. They just have no place in a discussion about people in positions of authority and power, who thusly have greater responsibility, getting away with killing us for no reason.

Cats say don't bring up 'black on black' crime when discussing #blacklivesmatter, don't bring up 'black on black' crime after a cop kills a black man, don't bring up 'black on black' crime when talking about the black incarceration rates in America, etc, etc etc

Yeah I get get it but seriously though- Is there ever really a GOOD time to talk about 'black on black' crime without being labeled a c00n??? Especially on this site. Sh*t is getting out of hand. Not even on this Richard Sherman thing but anytime anybody mentions 'black on black' crime niccas get mad as f*ck on here. So when is a good time to discuss how we can call some of these gangbangers and such out and to love ourselves and our community without cats callin' throwing out the c00n label

Yeah...how about when it happens?

If a kid gets shot by another kid in your neighborhood are you gonna say "but what about cops killing kids" or are you gonna address that issue which is relevant in that moment?
