Move over, War on Women, there's a new war in town. On the August 18 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, contributor Michelle Bernard warned there is a "war on black men" in the United States, as evidence both by the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and persistent criticism of President Barack Obama from Republicans.

What's more, Bernard insisted, there would be a "genocide" of young black men unless the problem were seriously addressed to her satisfaction.

Boys II Men

Wasn’t that Michael Jackson’s favorite group?

[pfflier]

She’s absolutely right and we need to look no further than Chicago to see how it’s happening.

If they stayed home and mastered calculus or Attic Greek, there would not be a problem.

Rudimentary English would be a good start.

[dfwgator]

Or just learned to become plumbers, or learn some other trade.

I have started thinking similarly

How do you say “MF’er” in Greek? ;)

Mike called his little playmates his “rubbahs”. It’s too late to hang him, but the parents may still be alive ...

No more than 90% of up want our children to grow up and live in this nation. You only have a small majority of all color that thinks they can benefit from this for their causes that have nothing to do with Mike Brown’s Shooting or to recruit people and funding!

Black males between 14 and 45, less than 5% of the total population, but over 50% of the violent crime. You catch the most fish when you drop your line in the water instead of in the trees.

Yep, that comment from Cartman is very fitting

When a 10 year old girl was murdered a few weeks ago in Chicago while attending her little friend’s sleepover, not a peep from the media, she was killed because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, gang banging punks killed her..no candlelight vigil in her honor, no protest march by the Black Panthers or Sharpton, no phone call to the family by Obama..nothing..like she never existed..I wonder how the people of Chicago who have been victims of black on black violence feel about what is going on in Ferguson, how the media cares so much about this criminal punk yet they totally ignore the truly innocent who are being slaughtered in Chicago by their own race

Yeah, it isn’t the Republicans or conservatives who want to put an abortuary on every corner in poor black neighborhoods.

[Pining_4_TX]

Wow, great post. So true.

You don’t puke on Superman’s cape you don’t spit into the wind,
you don’t pull the mask off the ole lone Ranger
and you don’t bull charge an armed policeman in Ferguson, Missouri.

[ThunderSleeps]

No, a war on criminals. If it so happens that the percentages are skewed and black youth commit most of the crimes...well hey, blame them not their victims, not the people that fight back against the chaos.

[Califreak]

The tribal infighting goes back for centuries.

By other blacks, I agree.

If it be war, it be a defensive war - I would hazard that if they stopped waging violence against each other and other law-abiding citizens, their attrition rate would not be what it is.

[servo1969]

There is a "war on black men" in the United States and it's being waged by other black men.
