The Tariq Nasheed Thread

[AlainLocke]

I listened to him for a little, but he is full of shyt saying that black communities don't really have elevated levels of violent crime, and that black folk are merely charged for crimes more than whites.

He doesn't even believe that himself.

But we are charged more.

Research Confirms that Entrenched Racism Manifests in Disparate…

• Bias by decision makers at all stages of the justice process disadvantages black people. Studies have found that they are more likely to be stopped by the police, detained pretrial, charged with more serious crimes, and sentenced more harshly than white people. For example, a 2004 study found that when police officers were asked “who looks criminal?” and shown a series of pictures, they more often chose black faces than white ones.
• 
  
• Also, a 2013 study found that federal prosecutors are more likely to charge black people than similarly situated white people with offenses that carry higher mandatory minimum sentences.The notion of “black on black crime”—recently invoked to counter #BlackLivesMatter protests of police shootings of black men by suggesting that the actual problem is black men shooting each other—is not borne out by statistics. A report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that most violence occurs between victims and offenders of the same race, regardless of race. The rate of both black-on-black and white-on-white nonfatal violence declined 79 percent between 1993 and 2015. The number of homicides involving both a black victim and black perpetrator fell from 7,361 in 1991 to 2,570 in 2016.

The late 80s and the 90s were an exceptional period of crime in the USA like the 20s and 30s.

There are only like a couple of blocks in the USA where it's legitimately dangerous and people getting shot everyday. That's not Black America as a whole. The media makes it look that way.

The Dangerous Racialization of Crime in U.S. News Media - Center for American Progress

Black Americans, and black men in particular, are overrepresented as perpetrators of crime in U.S. news media. This is especially true when looking at the incidence of violent crime. For example, one study of late-night news outlets in New York City in 2014 found that the media reported on murder, theft, and assault cases in which black people were suspects at a rate that far outpaced their actual arrest rates for these crimes. The news media also vilifies black people by presenting black crime suspects as more threatening than their white counterparts. It does this in several ways, such as by showing the mug shots of black suspects more frequently than those of white suspects; depicting black suspects in police custody more often; and paying greater attention to cases where the victim is a stranger.

He was comparing what the cartels be doing, did you miss that part?

And he was right I dont see black gangs beheading whole villages and hanging the bodies on bridges

I think people mean well at these rallies it’s just after a while they seem pointless. At this point we should be ashamed that they still exist. The families of the deceased get paraded around like a spectacle and the local pastor(s) get to be heard on a larger platform. Then everyone goes home and there’s still violence.
People look at u like u crazy if u honestly DONT WANT TO GO. Like u didn’t love the deceased. Shyt is disingenuous at this point.

That there is anti-black bias in the justice system and media doesn't preclude the fact there really is actually a lot more violent crime in black communities than in white ones. And not saying it's like that in every black community. I grew up in a mostly working class 90% black neighborhood where you could leave your front door unlocked and there was almost no crime. But on average, there's a huge difference, and it is obvious to everyone, including Tariq.

Agent Tariq at it again

Dude don't stay in hood..Opinion invalid

This is stupid logic on his part. Mass shootings are a whole nother beast, but we cant act like gun violence aint a issue in our community. I dont give a fukk about white folks and Mexicans n shyt. Way too many of us black men have died behind bullshyt. If you just point fingers and talmbout semantics and avoid the issue, it will continue forever

Tariq is an idiot. There was a huge rally to end gun violence directed at WHITE people not to long ago.

March For Our Lives

The whole march for our lives was a massive event.

Tariq spouts pure nonsense ALOT.

Dude might be painting with a broad brush. A white dude was stabbed to death in the street while people recorded with their cell phones and a Mexican kid was shot and killed in my area. The same pastor that does all the meets and greets and shakes hands with the families was still there.

It might be a local thing but this pastor ain't taking donations or driving a fancy car. He just goes out and meets with the people and they pray and walk or whatever. Dudes a black pastor too. But he does it for everyone regardless of race or circumstance.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

there's work that people are trying to do behind the scenes to make things better

they just don't have a) the organization or strength in numbers and b) resources

these stop the violence rallies have people from throughout communities who do a variety of things that are benefical and could deter the problem, but you can only do so much with next to nothing.

I think people mean well at these rallies it’s just after a while they seem pointless. At this point we should be ashamed that they still exist. The families of the deceased get paraded around like a spectacle and the local pastor(s) get to be heard on a larger platform. Then everyone goes home and there’s still violence.

ain't nobody misguided or in denial about the violence in our communities are you serious or just talking just to talk?

The folks participating and organizing those rallies either are misguided or in denial. It's their sons, brothers, cousins, uncles, friends, etc., committing the violence. Blame WS all you want, but most violence is intraracial. Folks got more energy for cops out of pocket than the nikka down the street. The only code they know is when police start asking questions.

I'll save you the post with following smiley too.........

 

[dj-method-x]

Tariq — from the comfort of a mansion in a white neighborhood — is trying to insinuate that violence in black communities is not a big issue and also tries to shyt on people from those communities for coming together in times of tragedy to cope and encourage change. The nikka is despicable and should shut the fukk up.

All communities have a high crime and violence black communities is always highlighted cac

The March For Your Life rallies were not directed at "white people"..The rally was basically placing blame on the NRA

This is 2nd delusional thing he's said in the last 12 months. The first being that fresh off the boat Africans are responsible for Houses in Virginia in Atlanta.

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

No disrespect to Tariq but he moved out the black community a long time ago. I wonder why?

And it's not good for his brand to say there's gun violence in the hood unless he can tie it to White supremacy pulling the strings or making Black men shoot someone. It was fukked up how he went to Crenshaw when Nip died and tried to get a conspiracy theory going instead of just keeping it real and saying a dusty dude took out a good brotha over something petty.
