I usually don't post in these threads, but as a black male living in Detroit I can tell you all that Black on Black crime does exist (I'm not sure if that was a joke or not). We can't go one day here without hearing about how someone was shot on the news, and if it's not shooting it's people stealing from eachother. And a good amount of the time unfortunately it's bystanders and kids that are hurt and it's over stupid crap. There are people who are trying to help out in the community and church leaders and such, but ironically there was a BLM event here where someone started a fight.

For the record, I hate the term "Black Lives Matter.", especially when someone touting the mantra is going around killing anyone no matter what color. I also find it weird how some people jump on the "we need to come together as black people" bandwagon (not saying all do this) when if it's any other day of the week or any other situation they wouldn't really give a damn. As it is, I'm more cautious around people I don't know personally that share my skin color than anyone else, and I know people and unfortunately have family members that were killed by other black people for stupid reasons. I just thought I'd throw in my two cents. After thinking about it, maybe Black on Black isn't the right term after all. It seems like it's just crime in general. I don't know. In any case, I think all the violence needs to stop but unfortunately it's not going to happen.

I hope you know that most black people and all SJWs hate you.

@Diakon:

racism and police brutality are thus proven not to exist!

Nice strawman.  Nobody in this thread said any of those things.

I bet you ignored the strawman in the Democrats and KKK thread.

BLM is based on lies and racism.

The BLM "leader" in (I believe) Toronto showed who she really is with her tweets about hating men and whites.

"Talcum X" Shaun King was a "leader" of BLM.   He's now working for TYT and they are still maintaining that he's black.

Another BLM "leader created fake accounts to send death and bomb threats to BLM.

Race baiter supreme, Obama, sent in 100 FBI agents to prove racism in Ferguson.   Not surprisingly, after about 20,000 pages of reports, the police there were shown to be pretty good.    "Hands up, Don't shoot" was proven to be a total lie.

Race baiter supreme ordered the FBI to monitor police shootings and the figures show that very few were deemed UNJUSTIFIED.   It wasn't the massive amounts claimed by BLM.

Blacks make up 13% of the US population.

Blacks make up 26% of all police shootings (shot by police).

Blacks make up 43% of cop killers.

Blacks commit 54-56% of all violent crime.

Blacks are shot by police the least of any other group, when compared to their portion of crime.   Whites are shot the most.

Black cops are the most likely to shoot, while white cops are the least likely to shoot.

Come on, don't refute my points, just label them "irrational", like always so you can claim victory.   We know you have nothing.

"Irrational" must be your favorite word, after "racist" of course.

So, BLM is the the dictionary definition of false advertising.   They aren't concerned about ALL black live, just those of thugs killed by police, even when race baiting Obama sends in the FBI and nothing is found, like we saw in the Michael Brown case.   I'm glad you cleared that up for us.

"Irrational" isn't my favorite word, it just describes 95-98% of your arguments perfectly. So does this  :crazy2:

And I'm not sure what you're not getting, but I guess the best way to break it down for you is to explain: there are groups dedicated to ending black on black violence but those groups do not get covered in the media. There are thousands of community based groups that are focused on putting an end to black on black violence (they could use some help by people like you btw) and then there are groups focused on putting an end to state-sponsored violence and racial profiling committed by the police. My parents were volunteers in a group for many years that was focused on stopping black on black violence in neighborhoods on the "bad" side of our city, so please do not bring your "irrationality" into something you couldn't possibly understand. Systemic racism is very complex. So what does that tell you? It's going to take multiple organizations coming in from multiple angles to bring light to the problem and propose sustainable solutions. Also, if you're seriously arguing that systemic racism is simple and plays no role in black on black violence, then your arguments are more "irrational" than I previously thought.

So, BLM is the the dictionary definition of false advertising.  They aren't concerned about ALL black live, just those of thugs killed by police, even when race baiting Obama sends in the FBI and nothing is found, like we saw in the Michael Brown case.  I'm glad you cleared that up for us.

Do you realize that White Lives Matter can not exist because it would be deemed racist.    HELL, All Lives Matter is deemed racist.

Go cry to the White Lives Matter people.

Needless to say you are all missing a macroscopic detail: that black guy was so easily able to kill another man because he had a gun.
When people are armed to their teeth (like US citizens) it's not surprising that events like that one happen: guns are precisely made for killing.

Lots of people own guns and never kill.    My entire family are gun fanatics and except for war, they have never killed anyone.

you guys should join Neo Nazi groups

Care to explain exactly why you say that?

Do I care that Michael Brown was gunned down like the dog he was?  FUCK NO.  His race has nothing to do with my opinion on that.  Any piece of filth like him deserves it, regardless of race.

Do I care that the elderly black man was gunned down?  FUCK YES.  He was totally innocent.

This is why I fucking despise BLM.

OK, one question: when was the last time you noticed a redneck meth-head doing the exact same thing? It happens all the time.

Go cry to the White Lives Matter people.

@raphjd:

Steve Stephens, a black man, films himself on Facebook Live murdering an elderly black man.   During the live stream he says he killed 13 people and says he's gonna keep killing.

When a man does something bad, it's "toxic masculinity".

That's only if a non-white male does it. When a white person does something bad, it's good old fashioned racism/sexism every time. And don't forget, whitey invented toxic masculinity!

When a woman does something bad, it's "patriarchy" or some other excuse, like hormones.

Black on black crime is a myth?!    How so?

Tommy Sotomayor (a black guy) does an excellent job of reporting this "myth" and lots of black people hate him for it.  There are many other blacks (as well as other races) who also report on this kind of thing.

++++

For this topic, let's forget all the other crap, like police violence, and focus on this "myth" and why not all black lives matter.

Why doesn't that elderly black man's life matter to BLM and the race baiters?!

Why doesn't that 9yo girl doing her homework on her bed life matter?

Why doesn't the grandmother, who complained about BLM ignoring the 9yo girl's murder, life matter, when she got countless death threats?

++++

Blacks have been demanding segregation on college campuses across North America the last few years.

Ebonics was discredited 20 year ago and now it's making a come back, with blacks wanting to be taught using it again.

I watched Sotomayor's excellent interview with Dave Rubin a few days ago, difficult conversations that need to happen. I just wish more white liberals would listen to what he has to say.

Do you even know what you're talking about? This isn't even a race issue. This is a toxic masculinity issue. A man who could not handle rejection from a women decided to go on a killing spree. He couldn't talk to his male friends about his emotions/feelings before, because of society's hyper masculinity.
However, BLM activists all over Twitter are actually the first ones to address this issue, condemning this black man. So you must have not tried hard enough to find BLM activists' responses to this.

Finally, BLM activists care about crime within their own communities, BUT IT IS NOT A RACE ISSUE ("black-on-black crime" is a myth). BLM specifically looks at systemic racism, police brutality, etc. which are race issues.

So now the problem is "toxic masculinity". When is this IdPol craziness ever going to stop?  Up next, trans men can't take hormones because they will become too masculine and murder people.

Ah okay, so then show me the protests.  Show me burning down buildings and beating people in the streets because of the outrageous number of black deaths.  No?

By the way, there were ~200 or so gun deaths in Chicago this year alone.  How many wrongful deaths by cops have their been this year?  Zero?  One?

shocked
