I'm specifically talking about you saying we shouldn't get behind Alton, his past doesn't matter because it wasn't the reason he was murdered. Tamir Rice was a child who had no marks against him and he was murdered, Alton on the other hand had many marks against him and he was murdered. They represent the big picture and that is black life is worth shyt in this country, so we rally behind him because in the end he was another black person unjustly executed.

AND I SEE YOUR POINT. Now SEE MINE. I'm fine with people rallying behind him. But the point stands dude wasn't some upstanding citizen who baked cookies for the church and local kids softball teams. he had a rap sheet big as he was, and I'm certain the people he fukked over were other black people. If his life matters than the victims of his crimes matter as well. This isn't your cousin who sold a little weed and could crack jokes well. That I can dig. I'm not saying this wasn't murder. In fact I think it was. But in the BIG PICTURE as you like to point out. It does not bode well for our community to see racism in the death of EVERY black male. I'm not saying every victim has to have a A+ grade average and be a good guy, but you weaken your position when it's viewed by other communities as supporting those who do criminal acts being killed by police while not mustering a fukk when the average black male is killed by another black male. this isn't what about black on black crime. It's where is the support for those who are killed by our own who don't get the benefit of being a #Hashtag and don't get the coverage that others do.

The color of the pigs doesn't matter

Look at how people are treated in Afrikan countries where basically no pigs are cacs

Whether its murder or other physical brutality, it is an institutional problem. The institution needs to be rethought, along with the socioeconomic system it serves to protect

Well then brother it's never gonna change because this is not a position we have enough power to fix.

It could. If the black people in power cared as much about this as they did about gay marriage, we would at least see some progress.

Read his reply to what I said. He basically said Africans do other Africans dirty, so fukk Black people policing black people. I do believe it can work personally but alot of this negative shyt is not going to fix shyt.

That's not what I said. It's important to be critical of what you're proposing and aware of the shortcomings. Afrikans policing other Afrikans is an okay step, it is better than racist non-Afrikans doing it. But it is not a solution and shouldn't be mistaken for one
