I’m guessing that this is another tragic instance of black on black crime.

That sounds racist!

There is no such thing as black on black crime. When blacks commit crimes that involve other blacks, it's because they've been excluded from enjoying the same kind of success that whites and others have enjoyed, and so, they've been victims of the system which favors whites, and they've been disenfranchised from being productive members of society.

Now, if a white commits crimes against whites, then it's because he is rotten and evil and raised badly, and deserves to be put away for life. In the case of a black person committing a similar crime, well, as a victim of society, he deserves pity and sympathy, and retraining in order to rehabilitate or educate him into becoming a productive and law-abiding member of society.

(That's my imitation of the liberal thought process, btw).

When blacks commit crimes that involve other blacks, it's because...they've been victims of the system which favors whites,

So black on black crime is really just another form of white on black crime. That makes sense. Now I must disengage my brain from "liberal" mode; I'm getting a headache.
