Wickham is a flaming lib, so I don't usually have any use for his columns, but this time he's right on target. How incredible and outrageous that so many blacks are murdered by blacks without a peep from the great "leaders" who can only decry racism at every turn..... white racism has very little if anything to do the criminal pathologies of the contemporary black communities.... unless you count the racism of white liberals who refuse to uphold standards and laws because it would be "insensitive" or "oppressive" to minorities.

[Jaysun]

Racist.

[Kenton]

Black on black crime is so "dog bites man" that it doesn't warrant a lot of attention.

[Augustinian monk]

The author fails to understand the stark realities of urban life that can cause a person to spay bullets in a drive-by at a strecth hummer by de club. (sarcasm)

[bert]

A great deal of the B/B killing is in cities with black mayors. They are beyond criticism. As descendants of ancestral slaves that came to America centuries ago, they are beyond reproach.

[Disambiguator]

Chris Rock is racist, too. He even says so in that video about [racially offensive term redacted for your safety].

[johnny7]

The elite, socialist media obviously believes that it's their... 'nature'.

[llevrok]

There are a few political things that do not make sense to me. Most of these are on culteral or race lines.

For example -
Who liberated the slaves and pushed the Civil Rights Act? Hint: Not the Dems.
If blacks are so comfortable with their progress, why do they continue to largely vote DIM?
Why are American Jews largely liberal when the DIM's support Palestine and back stab Israel?

[Always Right]

How incredible and outrageous that so many blacks are murdered by blacks without a peep from the great "leaders" who can only decry racism at every turn.....

In their worldview, the black on black violence is all the result of whitie holding the black man down.

[Old Professer]

In many cases, they are just eliminating the competition.

[cquiggy]

Blacks are not killing Blacks. Guns are killing blacks. Don't you know its the guns that are killing. Bad bad guns. Like those automatic weapons depicted in the left wing news reports every night. You know the same automatic weapons that don't exist.

[AbeKrieger]

Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society, hard at work in the black community.

[American Infidel]

Needless to say, the problem of black on black murders, which occur every day in every major inner city in the country is something that will never be addressed honestly. The black so-called "leadership" won't touch it because it doesn't fit in to their blame whitey agenda, and anyone who isn't black who dares try to allude to the problem is automatically marginalized as a racist, so the cycle continues.

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."

[BFM]

It's just got to be Bush's fault. </Sarcasm>

[The people have spoken]

I'm glad he didn't try to say African-American-on-African-American killings.

[zerosix]

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)

[MinorityRepublican]

Bump for a later read.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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.

[popdonnelly]

I'm outraged. Why does every dispute have to be settled with blood?

[rabidralph]

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.

[r9etb]

To summarize the problem: If you ever want to know where NOT to go in any city, find the street named after Martin Luther King.

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.
