City Working To Find Solutions For Black-on-Black Crime
Charleston, SC - Officials in Charleston have come up with several ideas they say could reduce incidence of black-on-black crime in the port city. Those ideas include affordable housing, business development and job training. Blacks make up 34 percent of Charleston's population of almost 97,000 people.
But blacks accounted for 71 percent of the city's 45 homicide victims in the past three years. At least one black person has been charged in every case where there has been an arrest. The FBI reports similar problems in other parts of the country. Mayor Joe Riley ( has met with a city task force to discuss a program to teach construction trades to young people. The Reverend Joe Darby of the Charleston Branch of the NAACP says community groups are working on ideas that will be announced later.

The article does not state it but it is probably all black-on-black violence. Not a peep out Reverend Jackson or Al Sharpton...

The article does not state it but it is probably all black-on-black violence. Well the article did state this:
"At least one black person has been charged in every case where there has been an arrest."
So whether or not it is "all black-on-black" violence (as indicated by the headline), at least in every homicide where the victim is black and the police have a suspect in custody, the crime was "black-on-black".

It's just like those dam whites to leave the city so that they can't be there to be victims of crime. Suburbanization is causing the black on black crime epidemic. If the whites were still there, they could be the victims and that way we wouldn't have all this black on black crime. Yet another example of how the white man is the oppressor.

Why not just work on stopping crime?

No. I just moved to the city - into the belly of the beast - but I am white and legally armed and won't be a victim. The black accepts and even hugs his victim status. It is easier to fight for their principles than to live up to them.

This will take a while, but the long term solution is to
STOP PAYING BLACK TEENAGERS TO HAVE CHILDREN WITH NO FATHERS IN THE HOUSE!!
