Black Leaders Ignore Black-on-Black Crime

It always has. For every black person murdered by a white person, there are about five whites murdered by blacks and 20 to 25 blacks murdered by blacks.

I know this article is almost a week old, but I am posting here in the event it was missed. It is an important article that sums up a good deal about how I feel as a black female residing in inner-city America. The real source of the problems in the black community is not racism, but the broken home which leads to a broken and disorganized community.

I know this is a struggle and the MSM will not listen but keep pounding away. You are completely correct in your analysis and many blacks agree with you but are afraid to speak out for fear of being called Uncle Tom. I know at least two and they have said that there is pressure upon them in black community to NOT tell the truth.

Don't let the LEFT deter you. It will be tough and they will attack you viciously and call you every name in the book. Don't let them intimidate you. Good Luck.

Gun control laws have their roots in racism and are still racist today. From the article; Balcks are 13% of the population, but make up 40% of murder victims.

I’d bet most of these victims live in dem strogholds with the most stringent gun control laws. These folks need to have the right to keep arms to defend themselves probably more than us out in flyover country.

Treating poor black people as victims to be "organized" has been an abject failure.

From the standpoint of Democrat strategists, the policy has been an absolutely spectacular success.

Welcome to Free Republic...good post!

Your statistics are off a bit. There are not 5x more whites murdered by blacks than opposite. There are more than 10X more whites murdered by blacks than the opposite. Go to the FBI crime statistics or just google the color of crime and you will find the official crime statistics. They are shocking and will not be reported by the MSM.

Some time back this topic came up on a local radio talk show. I got on the air and began to quote the statistics verbatim from the FBI statistics. They cut me off the air. They didn't want to broadcast the truth.

I commented before I read the article. This article speaks the truth. Thanks for posting it.

Yes they do...and that's why although I live in California, I reside in a suburb. I detest cities for that and other reasons (overcrowded, dirty, too many d*mned Liberals).

[popdonnelly]

The reason the more left-leaning black leaders avoid the crime issue is because they can’t come up with an acceptable, to them, way to deal with it - other than to blame white society. They would prefer to look at African American criminals as victims rather than being culpable.

Gun control is another favorite of liberals, since it can be offerred as a solution to crime without dealing with the criminal.

Who cares what he was doing there. Did he deserve to be beaten to death?

[Ev Reeman]

It is in fact the dems who are KEEPING MINORITIES AS VICTIMS NOT CONSERVATIVES. Any minority person who is reasonable and thoughtful and educated and intelligent recognizes that basic fact.

nice try... not the point I’m trying to make.

The left-leaning black leaders don't give a rip about their own community. It's all about the money they can make stirring up racial crap. Has the black community ever really examined how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright, Charlie Rangel, Louis Farrakan etc... live as apposed to them?

This has been going on for decades. You would think someone would get a clue.

The kkk could not have concieved of a strategy to kill more black Americans than planned parenthood and black on black crime.

Welcome to FreeRepublic...good to have you aboard.

The real source of the problems in the black community is not racism, but the broken home which leads to a broken and disorganized community.

Well you can thank uber-racists LBJ with his "Great Society" and urban renewal (black family destruction) and the baby killing machine Planned (non)Parenthood, with their goddess of genocide Margaret Sanger...good friend of the KKK.

But somehow the democrat race-baiters managed to demonize the Republicans and blame them for all real and imagined evils affecting the black community so that now up is down, and wrong is right.

I wish there were more black conservatives...how do we find them get them on FreeRepublic?

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s gangulous too.

Many may give no clue to their hue.

I was being generous. However if you normalize the numbers, i.e. assume that the number of blacks and whites were equal and adjust the numbers accordingly, then you would find that whites are about 30 times more likely to be murdered by blacks than other whites.

If you further refine the numbers, you would find that young black men between 15 and 35 are by far the most violent individuals on earth. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t make them leave that habit back in Africa.
