There is no debate that Black people kill Black people.
OK. Just as there is no debate that white people kill mainly white people.

If you want to delude yourself that the 320,000 Black people murdered in inner city violence were by White Supremacists driving through the hood, then by all means go ahead and believe that.
I'm not deluding myself one bit.
Are more black people killed by black people than by the police ?
Yes. You are correct. You are right. You are 100% correct.
Now are we clear on that
But guess what ?
You would have been correct 100 years ago. You would have been correct in 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, 1950
I think you get the drift here
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

There are people who believe with all their heart that the Earth is flat.
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.
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 me telling a black woman with breast cancer, not worry about it because Lung Cancer is the biggest cancer killer.
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 rule
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

People can convince themselves of anything if they want to close their minds to facts.
And how does a black person killing another black person affect white people ?
