And do you realize that this is the most common response to that? And it is true. HOWEVER, the problem is the RATES OF KILLING. For every 100,000 white people approx 2 are murdered. For black people, the number is 18. So yes whites mostly kill whites, Asians mostly kill Asians, Latinos mostly kill Latinos and Blacks mostly kill Blacks. But why the fukk is our number so much higher???

I approve of him saying that we need to build and create for ourselves. 
instead of you mfs getting on ur soapbox why dont you guys address the real issue which is poverty,lack of jobs etc which are huge if not the primary factors for stuff like this. hearing this "black on black" crime preach gets redundant when your not addressing the elements that influence stuff like this.
and where are you getting those numbers, those numbers for whites do not even look real.

The relatively high rates of black on black violence are due to black people being forced into the brutalizing, dehumanizing thresher of black life in this godforsaken country. Any person who mentions it without acknowledging the context of how it's driven by white supremacy, in service of some "pull up your own bootstrap" mentality, is a fool at best and an agent at worst. Take your foot off black people's necks and maybe we'll stop spitting up blood.

The CDC. It's actually a little worse than what I said.
The CDC confirms that, following an extended period of general decline, the overall homicide rate -- as well as the homicide rate within each racial group -- has increased from 2014 to 2015. In 2015, the homicide rates were (per 100,000 population):
20.9 for blacks (non-Hispanic)
4.9 for Hispanics
2.6 for whites (non-Hispanic)
5.7 for all races
Compared to the national average, the homicide rate was 54% lower for whites, 14% lower for Hispanics, and 267% higher for blacks. Put another way, the homicide rate among African-Americans is nearly quadruple that of the national average.
Last year, President Obama highlighted the importance of this issue. He said, "The single greatest cause of death for young black men between the ages of 18 and 35 is homicide. And that's crazy. That is crazy." Actually, it's worse than that. According to the CDC, homicide is the #1 cause of death for African-Americans in all age groups from 15 to 34 (i.e., 15 to 19, 20 to 24, and 25 to 34).
