      40% of white people are co-conspirators in black on black crime. It's historically proven. Black people who are so quick to kill each other of minor issues would never give a white supremacists that same smoke.

    I don't know if Stephen A reads his messages, but I've been saying for over 30 years, that blacks only rise to the surface when someone outside of our culture commits a crime against blacks. But if it's black on black crime, its totally accepted and nobody says a word. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.

      yeh. and as a statistics guy (government statistics - not some fringe site) demonstrate consistently that black males are about 6% of the population, yet responsible for over 90% of the black homicides in total. When it's that ridiculously skewed, it looks straight up stupid to not worry about that first and foremost.

      @@BossItUp911 If you like statistics you'll like this. A common argument I hear from people who say that "black on black crime isn't a problem because white people kill each other at the same rate." And what they are referring to is that since most white people are killed by other whites at a rate of 85%, and black people kill other blacks at a rate of 93%, that black on black crime is no bigger of a problem than white on white crime is. Well, they're wrong. Here's why.
      When you account for percentage of population, you begin to see a different picture. Black people are 13% of the population, yet account for 50% of all murders. White people by contrast are 58% of the population, but only account for about 38% of the murder. But since there are 5 times as many white people as there are black people, that means that black people are killing each other at a rate that's roughly 7 TIMES higher than white people. It's not the same at all. The black community has a problem.

Humans are very flawed beings… they shouldn’t be trusted too much. Cities would be legit free for all, cops would be useless 😂 Sanctions make it very difficult for a reason, that’s why the only way to deter it is to make it illegal and hard to get.
