    Ah the "black on black violence" distraction method, eh? well according to the FBI...

    https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_6_murder_race_and_sex_of_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2013.xls


    Rates are about the same... and if I'm reading this right, whites have more to fear from Hispanics than they do blacks.

    so, that black guy is more likely to be killed by another black guy? Well guess ? what, the white guy is in much much more danger of being killed by a white guy. I'm sure the arab guy is much more likely of being killed by the arab guy, as well. Do you have to be a rocket scientist to see how this works? The only thing worst than a smart dumb ? is a bought ? ; you can at least ignore the smart dumb ? .


    But if your 15, 16, 17 year old gets kidnapped and ? , guess who most likely did it?

    Let me know when you wanna talk about it, tho

    smh @ me only making it 45 seconds into the vid before encountering overwhelming fuckery... Like, what did I really expect to see here.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't that statistic make the point that black on black crime is too prevalent? It almost matches whites, and we are a much smaller population.

    As for the video, someone needs to get these people off of the air. There are other organizations that handle black on black crime. We don't highlight them enough but we don't run the media...

    I love when detractors and ? bring up black on black crime under the guise of "why is no one talking about this?"....like that ? doesn't become a national discussion on a monthly basis

    exactly, as if we don't bring up Chiraq every week.

    It's intellectually dishonest to act like we can't discuss the high murder rates in urban communities AND the ? -like policing in black communities.

    The best way to ascertain the progress a people have made is to see if they're still complaining about the same issues 50-60 years ago. In the 1960's it was the pigs beating & killing black folks......... 2015, Same ? , different toilet.

    People who constantly repeat that rhetoric show how concerned they really are about helping to end that crime. You'd think if they were so concerned and didn't see anything getting done they'd put themselves at the forefront of things and start something.

    he is correct however that police brutality is not the most pressing issue in the black community

    Except McWhorter is a conservative.

    You know republicans have like 50 different branches that claim to not be related to each other

    Zombie is a independent conservative lol

    That's because politics is a spectrum it's a gradient left,right,center. It's not as simple as people want it to be

    It is simple for black people.

    Don't vote for openly racist ass republicans that are on foxnews supporting George Zimmerman, saying Obama is not American, and are always voting against any intiative that helps black people.

    It is very simple.....

    ^^^ Very underrated post.

    People go out and vote for a president every 4 years but seem to totally disregard midterm elections which are arguably more important.

    You don't see predominately White cities with Black mayors, police chiefs, fire marshals, etc.

    Better get out there and start standing behind people who look out for your best interest instead of letting these old conservative rednecks get in power and have the ability to make crucial decisions regarding your life.

    As for the thread Don Lemon been a ? .

    I think that word is overused but it suits what he is very well.

    You'd think that homosexual Black man would have more sense than he does in regards to the things that plague our community.

    I'm sure CNN executives were very calculated in putting a Black like him in that position that I'm sure somewhat reflect some of their views; I still watch them over that ? Fox News be spewing.

    Every last one of these ? look the same and sound the same. Same haircut, talk the same way, like they're trying to keep the ? from escaping their throat. And none of them gives a flying ? about black on black crime until somebody's talking about a white person killing a black person. Got to protect ? .

    What do you expect from these major networks anyway? Black folk are not allowed to work for these places and promote a "radical" black agenda. The corporate values of the company wouldn't allow it. They would lose their jobs if they started talking some Assata Shakur, Huey P. Newton stuff. That's why these companies hire ? , because they best represent the values of the company which is white supremacist in nature.

    No, he is not a conservative. He says some conservative-sounding stuff when the topic is race, but he's not a conservative. He has said so himself: http://www.newrepublic.com/blog/john-mcwhorter/82122/frances-fox-piven-jim-sleeper-and-me

    I often disagree with him, and even find him kind of annoying, but I don't think McWhorter is a ? . I certainly don't think he is saying this stuff for white approval. He really believes that black folks will be better off if they reject some of the civil rights orthodoxy.

    He works for Manhattan Institute conservative a think tank.. Which employs that ? who came with that racist "Broken Windows Theory" that pigs use around the country to justify their harassment of black folks.. No real black man would work at place like that...
