bitch are you white?! I'm sure you would feel that way.
Im half White (but look straight up european) but that has nothing to do with how I feel, especially when there are other Blacks feeling the same way.
The tidbit she said about White women dating Black men is A replay Of what I went through back in high school, I used to always get into fights because my boyfriend at the time was black and i was attending a school with majority of Blacks. Being raised in a black neighborhood was even worse for me.
With Black Lives matter, I feel personally that why does it only focus on murder by police and not murders of each other? Not making excuses for the injustice of police by the way.
You just made an excuse.
The reason why the focus is on police is pretty simple. Blacks who kill blacks are typically convicted of their crimes. While cops get paid leave and a Olivia Pope team to cover their tracks. Their job description is to protect and serve. We do not hold everyday people at the same standard as the police.
Whites kill whites at nearly the same rate as blacks. The white community isnt in an uproar about their numbers but love to use it as a defense against "black lives matter". If our numbers are so alarming why not be alarmed with your own.
Im sorry to hear you had bad experiences dating blacks but you only further validate that one can fuck a black guy but have no care about the things he has to deal with socially.
Well White people are the majority of the US So of course they would have the highest murder rate, but blacks arent too far behind in murder stats (they are higher in some giving the category of the murder) despite having a smaller overall population number, so black's murder rate percentage is the highest in the country because of that.
With the black lives matter movement, the community is trying to convince an already corrupt and racist government and police force to stop killing blacks (as they should) but they wont. Why? Because its been happening for years. But Blacks are perfectly okay with their OWN PEOPLE shooting each other's brains out. I would support a black on black murder movement before police on black murder because at the end of the day, blacks kill blacks more than police do. Its like they can easily unify to stop white on black murder but dont even give a damn about stopping crime in their own communities... The best thing to do is to join the system.. Become lawyers, judges, police, etc. Unify for equity... Unify for more black owned businesses instead of spending thousands on name brand clothing crap (blacks are the biggest consumers for other races (businesses )
Even some black people feel the same way I do.. David banner and Kendrick Lamar expressed the same feelings.
What Im sayin is I will not justify law enforcement killing me because keith and ronald wants to kill each other. You will not make unjustly killing people okay! And again......blacks are CONVICTED of their crimes the police are not.
Whites have higher rates of rape, arson, embezzlement, fraud, armed robbery, drug abuse, and damn near every crime outside of homicide. Whites contribute mostly to crime as a whole yet only account for a small percent in jail. Its about being convicted and criminalizing criminals (which happen to be police)
The problem is that you are missing the overall picture. You are protesting for cops to stop killing unarmed blacks, but after that same protest is over SOME of those same people are contributing to the black murder rate, which is also higher than any other race in the country.
Where exactly are you getting this from? Blacks do not hold the highest murder rates in the country, whites do.
Also, white on white crime is a lot more prevalent than black on black crime. It's just not as publicized.
Lastly, the whole "black on black crime" rebuttal has been debunked several times. People tend to kill others who look like them. Which makes sense once you realize that people live near others who look like them or who are in the same socioeconomic class.
I think ABCD also mentioned another great point about "BoBc".
I posted a link a few pages back.
But you are right. White people DO kill more than any other race if we are talking numbers, but you also have to take into account that white people also are the most populated race in the US.
The murder number for blacks is pretty damn close to White murder, however the difference of black population and white population is a huge amount. With that being said, this high murder number/low population gives black murders a higher percentage rate. We are killing each other faster than we can reproduce.
Look at it this way. If there are 20 black people, and 10 are killed by murder, that is a much more alarming rate than say there being 50 white people and 20 are killed in murder.
Every race kills each other, however black on black murder is more likely to occur than any other race.
