Maybe the "false narrative" that blacks don't care about black on black crime, is because we have yet to see, as a nation, blacks march through their own neighborhoods protesting such killings. We have yet to see blacks burn down and loot their own neigbhorhoods over such killings. We have yet to see black families and black ministers and black councils and black groups and black national alleged leaders decry black on black killings.
But, let a a white cop do his job, and the entire nation erupts, over some 170 cities' worth of some really stupid demonstrations. In these demonstrations, people used the Hands Up symbol, which never happened. They to a group, have claimed that only Black Lives Matter. The Ministerial Alliance has been strangely absolutely quiet on the latest death, and others. The hypocrisy is LOUD, very LOUD.
We have yet to see an improvement in: black families staying together and providing positive role models for their children. We have yet to see an improvement in high school graduation rates for young blacks. We have yet to see a drop in the teen-age pregnancy rate among young blacks. We have yet to hear the NAACP come out and say that they are for ALL people, not just the antiquated "colored". We're all colored.
Before you keep squawking, bear all of the above in mind, please. Of course, people of all colors commit horrific atrocities. We are the most vile, dangerous, murderous species on the entire planet. That isn't about to change.
You see, -----, all lives do matter. We've lost at least two generations of youth, mostly inner city black, to illegal drugs, gangs, and abhorrent violence. It clearly isn't going to fix itself. But the voices from these communities most affected, don't seem to appear until a black dies at the hands of a white. No, you're right. We don't get it. Never will.
(my response, to a lady who posted the following on the St Louis Post Dispatch newspaper site, 12-27-14: Most crime is committed intraracially. Most Whites kill Whites, most Asians kill Asians. I am Black and have a huge problem with violence, period. Not sure why this false narrative that Black people don't care about Black on Black crime is being pushed. Your logic would lead me to believe that you're not concerned about mass shootings because White people still continue to perpetrate those crimes at a rate that surpasses any other group. Why don't White's do anything about that? You're no more responsible for those criminals or their actions than I am for criminals that share the same skin pigment as myself. .)
