WHAT ABOUT BLACK ON BLACK CRIME: ...How the myth was born

[The Lonious Monk]

I am just going to continue disagreeing even though your argument is compelling. I side with history both past and present. Be it local or federal govt. neither has been a friend to Blacks in treatment or the portrayal of us as a people and culture.

As it pertains to Blacks I don't need Govt. stats, when I have lived and breathed Black my entire life. The notion that Blacks are somehow aliens, criminals and do more evil then whites is absurd on face value. Humans, have been, and always will be human. No race is immune from fuckshit of all sorts. No shots at all being taken here just speaking bluntly with a hint of frustration. Anyone needing stats to tell them that is an imbecile.

I feel what you're saying, but shit like this isn't important because it clues us in on the truth. It's important because it can open the eyes of other people. I know it's the popular thing to think that all nonblacks are just evil racists, but shit really isn't that simple. A lot of people believe what they believe because they were led to believe it. If there is a lie in place. It's good to tear down that lie. Some dumbasses will still continue to believe the lie, but there are always people walk away from it and choose to embrace truth. Misinformation has damaged our community. We can't hope to repair that damage without first dispelling the misinformation.

What's the point of stating all of this?

Are you serious?

Data is just collected information. There isn't anything intrinsically wrong with the data the government provides. It's the interpretation that is important.

right

same as the government isn't intrinsically this evil institution.... it depends on who is in office and its citizens

back in 2013 a federal judge rejected new york's stop and frisk policy after data collected strongly suggested officers were conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner

and called for a federal monitor to oversee broad reforms, including the use of body-worn cameras for some patrol officers

we already knew the shit but it's important ...if it don't lead to reform today...and can lead to reform in the future...if it causes one person to question their views that's a win

have to remember to double check the sources as well... which i'm still learning

Thats being dense..

Someone tells you something even if you know of it.. and it goes into detail about shit you might just know on a cursory level.. you dismiss it... that says alot about you and whom ever else subscribes to this misguided line of thought

^This. Add to that, a lot of the things people think they "know" often turn out to be untrue.

Black on black crime isn't a myth.

Most crime is intra-racial

It's just not relevant to discussions about police brutality

Black on black homicide rates continue to be used as way to say, "well they deserved the aggressive policing/lethal use of force used against them because they are inherently more violent".

That's water under the bridge now. OGUN has spoken up for us. Everytime they clap @ us one of their own is exposed 2 have done even worse. Hollywood, Vegas, Churches etc. My disposition doesn't even allow that type of convo round me from non melinated folks. We got that ULTIMATE clap back now 4 that ass.

The black on black crime argument stems from a larger trend where in group violence dwarfs out group violence. Racists point to this universal pattern and say "look racism isn't that bad because black Americans kill black citizens more than white Americans do", but that's irrelevant because there are still disproportionate numbers of black Americans being killed by police. It blurs the overrepresentation

It's a way to exploit people's general ignorance with statistics
