Your comments above mean one of two things: 1.) You are totally oblivious of the number of black children being killed in these shootings or 2.) You are more incredulous that these people had the means to obtain the firearms and bullets than you are outraged by the killing of these poor kids.
I've spent time in Chicago.
I've been to Rogers Park, North Side. Roscoe Village, Northwest Side. Portage Park (Portage Park, Six Corners), Central, Near North, and Near South Side.
And let me tell you something. There are no places you can walk or go without being on tape. None. It's the most heavily surveillanced city, probably in the world.
Look at the so called shooting at a funeral in Chicago last month were 12 people
were shot
And once again they say "
please come forward or submit a tip anonymously".
The police can't find these fellas ? Really ? The white man can tell you the precise location of a star million of light years away but he can't find some guys that do a drive by of funeral ?
If you believe that then there really is no hope for you.
Funerals are considered off limits when it comes to gang violence. The Chicago PD really needs to investigate this case thoroughly, because something is off. Farrakhan warned them that Trump was going to bring in Federal Troops id brothers didn't stop the killing
Cops n Chicago r some of the biggest thugs n that city. How many times have we heard about Black Op sites n straight up criminal behavior of CPD ?
A black child is much more likely to get killed by a stray bullet in his/her own neighborhood than a white child is in his neighborhood. How many of these kids have been killed in their own front yards, inside their homes and even in the arms of their parents?
Are more black people killed by black people than by the police ?
Yes. You are correct.
But guess what ?
You would have been correct 100 years ago.
But would that justified the lynching and hangings from the Klan ?
No. You wouldn't have took that argument seriously 100 years ago. Nor do we take that argument seriously 100 years later. And by the way more black people were killed by the police in 2015 than were killed by the police in
1892
The black on black crime figure will always be higher that white on black. Why ? Because those are the people you live around.
You're argument is as stupid as telling Breast Cancer Support Groups not to bother with that cancer and focus on Lung Cancer because that is the biggest cancer killer.
When ISIS killed whites in Paris or 9-11 Twin Towers I did not hear white people say "
Well, more white people kill white people, than muslims""
But that would have been just as true.
The police are held to a higher standard. Because if you have the power to kill me, then you better believe I'm gonna hold you to a higher standard.
It's the same way a teacher can't be late often for their class and then turn around and say "Well some of you are late too"
With great power comes greater responsibility, they are the rules.
Good for you. I guess. I don't know what one has to do with the other. Notwithstanding the fact that the word "servative" doesn't exist.
It exists in my vocabulary.
Here's the thing: Owens, Williams, and Diamond & Silk understand the difference between a white conservative and a white supremacist. Apparently you don't.
They're just black people who are paid or helped by whites for putting a black face on white opinion and power.
That's why you hardly see black people on TV who challenge white supremacy. That cannot be an accident. In blogs and forums and on the streets you see black people challenging and speaking out about racism in all its glory but on television it is strangely absent.
That's because blacks who pretty much agree with whites will have a much easier time getting on television than those who do not. So even though you see black faces on television, it is still pretty much the World According to White People.
But there are plenty of guns and bullets and black children to kill them with.
And how does a black child getting killed affect white people ?
You're running around USMB acting like you care about about black children.
But if I'm wrong then tell everyone in USMB what you are doing about it.
I'll wait
I'll wait
I think I'll be waiting for a long time.
I'm pointing a finger at black people because black people are pointing guns at other black people and killing BLACK CHILDREN and then bitching when the occasional black man gets shot by a cop. Jesus Christ, how many of your children have to die in this manner before you'll do something about it?
Black children are not being killed on mass.
Now, the problem with your math is that you pulled the figures straight out of your own butt. The figures I provided are actual figures.
As I say Crime is mostly intra-racial. That means there will always be more black-on-black crime than white-on-black crime. The same way most whites will murder whites.
Also your argument makes the worth of black life conditional. Conditional on good behaviour, like low crime rates. Once blacks get black-on-black crime under control, then they can act as if their lives matter.
Meanwhile the worth of white life is as not being conditional.
No-one belittled those white kids who were killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting by Adam Lanza.
No one belittled the Aurora theater shooting of white people by white psychopath, James Eagan Holmes.
If I said,
“This pack of wolves needs to wait until NONE of the wolves are injured before they hunt for food” would be illogical. What’s to stop the uninjured wolves from hunting for food for the pack while the injured wolves are recovering?
In one case you are talking about a single entity, in the other you are talking about a group. Black people are a group not a single monolith.
Saying,
Black people need to do A before they can do B is stupid. Why can’t blk ppl do both? The sequential nature of the argument is false. You don’t have to do one BEFORE you do the other.
Blacks are individuals, and while some are addressing one problem, other’s can be addressing another.
The argument falls on its face on the grounds mere stupidity.
But I guess white people are the only people in America, that can be outraged about more than one tragedy, within their own racial group.
Also, we're not talking about the number of blacks killed, we're talking about the number of black children killed and we're talking about how they are killed and the frequency at which they are killed.
As I say - Black children are not being killed on mass. That's just you using the Adolf Hitler tactic.
See your judging black people by the same standards that's in the white community.
Just because white people do nastiness to kids. That does not mean we do.
First of all, you have ONE example of white guys in a shootout. Secondly, you don't even know who they were or why they were shooting at the car. What gave you the idea that he was a white supremacist?
W
hite supremacist have infiltrated law enforcement
This is common knowledge. Even the FBI agrees.
You have Kentucky Cop (John Nissen) was supposed to drive black female rape victim home, but took her to a motel and
raped her again.
You have the likes of New Jersey chiefs of police wanting to
kill all black people ? and the white Philly Police Union president call BLM activists "
Wild Animals" and the Cali Police are
sympathizing with white supremacists.
And you Sheriff Scott Israel in Florida who got caught entrapping 18 black people in 2016 (0 white people,) but is more recently accused of directing deputies to put on ski masks & bust up a venue repeatedly on hip hop nights.
This is a case where the child was specifically targeted. I'm talking about innocent child bystanders getting killed by stray bullets from gang shootouts and drive bys. There are a ridiculous number of innocent bystanders - both children and adults - being accidentally killed in these shootings.
