This bytch needs to be beheaded, the only justice in this world
are facts ????
We're getting slightly OT but you gonna have to change the culture before that happens.
As long as "street dudes" aren't solely a thing to be embarrassed by and "square dudes" aren't seen as cool, young brehs won't aspire to be doctors or scientists en masse.
are facts ????
how does ignoring reality help us?
were raising kids in this nonsense and wonder why we dont see more black folks in tech/medicine etc...
I don't believe you're being honest here, because Black people have always been concerned with/focused on community violence/crime. You people need to stop trying to spread the lie that we're indifferent.black people focusing on black crime would help us more than anything else though.
we forget about all the smart minds that dont get a chance because they grow up around that nonsense.
My social media timelines of late have been filled with outrage over the police killings of unarmed black citizens, but after a violent Fourth of July weekend around the nation that left several children dead, I noticed an uptick in snarky posts asking: “What about black-on-black crime? Why aren’t you protesting about that?”
The “what about black-on-black crime” rejoinder usually is meant to imply that African Americans are indifferent to the thousands of young black men — and increasingly, black children — who are slain every year in gun violence. It insinuates that black people blithely accept killings by our own that have racked some communities for decades and take to the streets only when white police officers are doing the killing.
Long before the March for Our Lives and the Black Lives Matter movement dominated the headlines in recent years, African Americans were marching in crime-ridden neighborhoods to protest the killings. Davon McNeal, an 11-year-old fatally shot in Washington, D.C., on July 4, had just left an anti-violence community event when he was hit by a bullet. The event was put together by his mother, Crystal McNeal, who works as a “violence interrupter,” a job that has been created in several urban areas with a goal to mediate neighborhood disputes in an attempt to break the cycle of retaliatory killings. Black citizens have formed hundreds of such organizations to save teens so often caught up in that world. Black artists have written songs and made movies, urging youths to stop the violence.
Many black people, desperate to stem the homicide rate that spiraled in the ’90s, even supported the Clinton crime bill, although some now criticize it as having hurt the black community more than it helped. A Gallup survey in 1994 found that nonwhite citizens favored it to a greater degree than white citizens, 58 percent compared with 49 percent.
As a group, African Americans are consistently more likely to be concerned about crime than white Americans. They also are the staunchest supporters of tougher gun-control laws, with 72 percent saying that controlling gun ownership is more important than protecting gun rights, compared with 40 percent of white people.
Black adults in the U.S. consistently express more concern than white adults about crime.
In last year’s preelection survey, three-quarters of blacks – compared with fewer than half of whites (46%) – said violent crime is a very big problem in the country today. And while 82% of blacks said gun violence is a very big problem in the U.S., just 47% of whites said the same.
Blacks are also more likely than whites to see crime as a serious problem locally. In an early 2018 survey, black adults were roughly twice as likely as whites to say crime is a major problem in their local community (38% vs. 17%).
That’s consistent with a survey conducted in early 2017, when blacks were about twice as likely as whites to say their local community is not too or not at all safe from crime (34% vs. 15%). Black adults were also more likely than whites to say they worry a lot about having their home broken into (28% vs. 13%) or being the victim of a violent crime (20% vs. 8%). However, similar shares in both groups (22% of blacks and 18% of whites) said they actually had been the victim of a violent crime.
yet the hood is still the hood.
the difference between the black community and other communities is they have standards that are expected to be upheld.
what are our standards?
we have a million excuses for the lowest of our low.
could you imagine Asians and Jews caring so much about their criminals?
shyt...even Italians worked hard to lockup mobsters and get rid of that stereotype.
Im obviously not saying all of us are like that (hell im black)...
...but low standards has been embraced by black people.
I dont see how you can look around and not see it.
