    Black on black crime isn't a myth.

    Most crime is intra-racial

    It's just not relevant to discussions about police brutality

    Black on black homicide rates continue to be used as way to say, "well they deserved the aggressive policing/lethal use of force used against them because they are inherently more violent".

    That's water under the bridge now. OGUN has spoken up for us. Everytime they clap @ us one of their own is exposed 2 have done even worse. Hollywood, Vegas, Churches etc. My disposition doesn't even allow that type of convo round me from non melinated folks. We got that ULTIMATE clap back now 4 that ass.

    The black on black crime argument stems from a larger trend where in group violence dwarfs out group violence. Racists point to this universal pattern and say "look racism isn't that bad because black Americans ? black citizens more than white Americans do", but that's irrelevant because there are still disproportionate numbers of black Americans being killed by police. It blurs the overrepresentation

    It's a way to exploit people's general ignorance with statistics
