I keep this article bookmarked for all of our ignorant Blacks that just love siding with Whites, and their stats and perspectives on all things Blacks.

This is just the tip of the iceberg there are many Blacks both collectively and individually out here fighting and giving a damn about our communities and the violence consuming them.
In Chicago you have the interrupters,
In Pittsburgh you have Jasiri X 1Hood Media
Rebel Diaz in NY and their work with Zulu Nation.
I am tired of you lazy niggas and your regurgitation of non facts. I bet if you niggas were actually involved you would know of a least one group active in your city or town. But sense most of you aren't the myths just keep being perpetuated.
Editorial: To Those Who Keep Asking; ‘Why ya’ll don’t care when Black folks kill Black folks’
This is for those folks who ask the question “Why ya’ll don’t care when Black folks kill Black folks all the time?”
Black people are just as hurt and concerned and angry when Black men die from gang violence, driveby shootings and “being caught up” every single day, as we are when white racist representatives of governmental institutions (that are supposed to protect and serve us) and ordinary white racist citizens murder us in cold blood.
Black people are just as hurt and concerned and angry when Black women die from domestic violence – murdered by those who say they love us – AND gang violence AND driveby shootings AND “being caught up” as we are when white racist representatives of governmental institutions (that are supposed to protect and serve us) – like Mitrice Richardson and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department – and ordinary white racist citizens murder us in cold blood.
BUT:
1. If you are dependent on the mainstream media to tell you that, you will not see it; they have no stake in that.
2. If you are dependent on Black media, you may not see it there either; they may not have the resources to do it consistently.
3. If you are not in close proximity to Black institutions or Black people – in other words, if you don’t know the folks that know – you are OOL – Out Of Luck.
In answer to your question “Why ya’ll don’t care when Black folks kill Black folks all the time?” I say this: “How come YOU don’t you care?” It appears that this question ONLY gets raised when Black people vent their RIGHTEOUS indignation and anger over unjustified, racist murders.
If YOU really cared, then you would know about the organizations that exist to stop the senseless, every day murders of Black people by Black people:
1. You would know the names of these organizations
2. You would know when their meetings are
3. You would know where their meetings were
4. You would know the people who are a part of these organizations by name
5. You would know the people who are a part of these organizations by sight
6. You would go to their meetings
7. You would ask them, “What can I do to help ya’ll?”
8. You would ask your Black and mainstream media, “How come ya’ll don’t write/broadcast anything about these organizations on a REGULAR basis?”
9. You would give them much needed money
10. You would give them much needed money.
I live in Los Angeles, California. These are the names I know: Cease Fire, 2nd Call, Unity One, Unity Two, Professional Community Intervention Training Institute, Project Cry No More, Mothers of the Community, Unity in the Community, Peace in the Streets …
What city do you live in? Do you know the names? Why not?
That’s what I thought.
If you genuinely and sincerely wanted to know the answer to that question, then I apologize for my tone. If you just like to stir up crap and make a scene because you’d rather the attention be on you, instead of JUSTICE for Trayvon Martin AND ALL THE OTHERS, you are a sick, sad creature.
