White liberals may deny black mob violence but many black people are way past that: Today, its all about white racism.
Ebony magazine's latest issue is a good example of that. Ebony is upset that some are trying to score political points from the recent shooting of 13 people on a Chicago basketball court.
Black violence in Chicago takes other forms as well,: some of it black on white. Some black on Asian. Or black on gay. Or black on young. Or black on old. Black on rich. Black on poor. Black on illegal immigrant. Black on tourist. Black on doctor. Black on lawyer. Black on Indian Chief? I don't know about that one.
But Black on woman is also popular. So is black on storekeeper. Some violence is individual. Some in a mob. Much of it is documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
The reasons for this tsunami of violence are legion -- and oft repeated: Family. Poverty. Housing. Education. Do I need to go on?
Ebony magazine says No.
Its easy to forget how influential Ebony is. "Ebony and Jet have been permanent fixtures on coffee tables in African-American homes for many years," said Magic Johnson.
Joshua Adams of Ebony wants to flip the script: Even if black people are being convicted of crimes like assault and murder and burglary and selling drugs anywhere from 10 to 20 to 30 to even 40 times more than the rest of the population, Ebony doesn't want to hear any more talk about black pathology:
"It's much easier to point to Black crime than to interrogate a whole litany of violence against the Black community.

That Victim Mentality has served them for decades.
By “them”, I mean Ebony.
can’t we all just get along, as long as you believe us..sure
Deceiving yourself and denying a problem is the worst form of deception.
RE: can’t we all just get along
We can, as long as you let us keep our money.
How does Ebony account for the glorification of criminal behaviors in the hip-hop culture?
That never happens.
The definition of the above statement is?
...Allowing guns so they can kill.
...Allowing spoons, forks and 24 ounce drinks; to make them obese.
...Allowing the schools to fail the children...
Allow them to define the terms and they should win all debates.
What became of the famous michelle obama arms in that photo?
Must be an old photo from when she was a starving hospital executive?
White guilt won't last forever under these circumstances... and that's the main thing the black community has going for it.
It is always easier to lie to your self and blame others than it is to face your own problems.
Maybe that's one good thing about the Obama Presidency: he's made a lot more White Americans realize they're being played.
"Interrogate?" Joshua just discovered Roget's.
See the tag....
The denial runs deep on this issue.
Most blacks and way too many whites deny race has anything to do with it or anything else for that matter. Of course these same people have no problem accepting that ‘white racism’ is an issue.
they won’t solve it on their own. denial. rationalization. deflection. attack the messenger. race card. whatever as long as they can continue to ignore the obvious problem killing most of their own, and about half the murders in this country.
To quote the more accurate t-shirt:
It’s a black thing. Black people don’t understand.
I don’t recall seeing an ivory magazine would that be racist?.
