Guns are killing blacks....Let's not all pile on just the guns, I think SUV's, especially stretched Hummers, have a role in all these killins....but don't axe me....
Let us not forget about Mong on White killing, where there are instances of whites literally being hunted down and killed in cold blood....
Philadelphia is a great example of this. Here is a city with a black mayor, black police commissioner, and a pre-dominantly black city council. The power base is black. There is no white leadership structure on whom to blame the problem, even though some have tried to by saying that one of the reasons for the high crime in Philly is because no one in power cares that only blacks are being killed. Well, to paraphase philly's head muckity-muck, John Street: "The brothers are in charge here."
It's just got to be Bush's fault. </Sarcasm>
Like a chocolate new orleans??
We used to laugh at that charge. Now we know it is true in many instances.
I'm glad he didn't try to say African-American-on-African-American killings.
Memphis Murder Rate Highest in Four Years
158 And Counting/Arrest In Latest Homicide
158 homicides and counting in Memphis with three full days left in 2006
Police have charged a suspect in the latest homicide.
Brenda Wiggins, 42, is charged with reckless homicide in the fatal stabbing Wednesday afternoon (Dec. 27) of her husband in the 1500 block of Monserrat.
She was arguing with her husband, Lawrence Wiggins, 44, at their home on Monserrat at the time of the stabbing, police said. They believe she swung a knife at him trying to cut his jacket. Instead, he was stabbed in the upper left arm. He died shortly after he arrived at the Med.
Also Thursday, police identified a man whose body was found outside 153 Finlay, near the Fairgrounds, as Eugene Antonio Williams.
Williams, 23, died from a puncture wound to the chest, according to the Medical Examiner's office. That wound was likely caused by Williams falling on a sharp object, according to police. Several sharp objects were found on Williams by police.
The 158 homicides, nine ruled justifiable, make the city's rate higher than it has been in four years.
There were 153 homicides in 2005; 118 in 2004 and 138 in 2003.
City and county leaders have been discussing and changing tactics in the local war on crime. Making the discussion more urgent is the city's ranking in the annual FBI crime report as the second most violent city in America.
Memphis' Mayor Willie Herenton is black.
Oh it's there all right but it is the "responsibility of the racist society that gives these miscreants poor education, lack of jobs, decent housing, living wage, no hope of a future other than crime, bad a@@ police", etc., etc., etc. (you fill in the blanks on any given day from the likes of JJ, Rev. Sharpton)
Bump for a later read.
There won't be any outrage, because there is no money to be made off this type of murder. The extortion machine won't start with this type of politically incorrect crime.
Black on black crime is so "dog bites man" that it doesn't warrant a lot of attention
It should warrant alot of attention. And Jackson and Sharpton and all the other self and media appointed (because they don't speak for all blacks) leaders should focus their resources toward this problem instead of all the other crap that they focus on.
I'm outraged. Why does every dispute have to be settled with blood?
Black-on-black crime is treated as a given. As long as blacks don't bring their crime to white neighborhoods, they're free to kill each other. That's why liberal judges let these thugs back on the streets. Kids shooting up their high school, a man shooting up a jewish day school are anomalies and liberals jump into action by calling for more gun control and starting the Million Mom March silliness.
I absolutely hate these kinds of threads. I know I will always find some closet racists out and about with their wide brushes, painting all black people as being the same. These same people don't really know any black people or have any real dealings with normal black people. They only know what they have heard or read. Black on black crime distresses black people too.
In pretty much any town I've cared to check, it is always the place where the murder rate is highest.
Judged "by the content of their characters," indeed.... The problem won't be fixed until the toxic culture in those areas is dealt with.
Guess what. White people kill white people too. Some do it for themselves, some hire others to do it. Some white people kill their own children. White people, also kill white people dammit. Let's not forget. But there are so many of you, maybe it doesn't make a dent in your population, so you are not as distressed by white on white murder.
Man, "its getting hard out there on the PimP"... <-Academy award winning "song"..
Black outrage MUST include white victimhood..
Black on black anything is black pride.. especially black denial..
