Seriously? You’re actually using the phrase “black on black”? I have to say, I’m kinda surprised to read that here, though I guess I shouldn’t be. It’s a sickeningly dismissive phrase.Ledbetterman10 said:
I think you already have that covered: spending your day searching the web for shooting articles. You just cherry-pick what you post. You don't post when it's black-on-black crime or gun violence in democrat-ran cities...for obvious reasons.Halifax2TheMax said:

And look at all those shootings in red states. When are the repubs going to do something about it?People are people, and most crime is relational. That means most crime is committed against people in your immediate family or neighbourhood or social circle. Why do we never hear the media talking about white on white crime? There’s certainly plenty of that.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
It’s a phrase with all sorts of connotations when you dig down, that’s for sure.static111 said:
I was under the impression that there is only crime and not crime. Not black on black crime or white on white crime or white on black crime etc...just crime. Am I wrong there? I feel like the term black on black crime gets thrown around to take away some level of the seriousness of crime. Gun violence is gun violence in my mind.Ledbetterman10 said:

And you don’t post any as far as I can tell. I guess you don’t care enough? Whether it’s black on black gun crime, repub red state pandemics of gun violence or dem city mayhem. It’s just “responsible” gun owners doing their thing.Ledbetterman10 said:

But I don't think that term black-on-black crime is thrown around to take away from the seriousness of the crime. In fact, I've always felt the term originated from the black community, as if to say "What are we doing killing each other?" I used to think the same as you: what should it matter? But one thing I'm learning from this BLM movement is the black community is an actual community. I used to dismiss that. There's no "white community," so what are they talking about? But now I get it, from the moment the Europeans landed in West Africa in the late 1600's, they've had to band together. So "black-on-black crime" goes against that.

It would be a full time job for anyone to post all of the shootings that occur in this country daily. The gun violence thread exists because many refuse to acknowledge that we need to make a change to gun ownership and requirements of such in this country. Those articles only further exemplify why gun reform is needed.Ledbetterman10 said:

Fair enough, and I'm not saying every shooting should be posted. But where's the criticism of the leaders of those violence cities? Shouldn't the mayor of Chicago be called upon to fight for gun reform more than anyone?tbergs said:

It is indeed used to take away from the seriousness of the crime. It’s used to bolster the idea that black people are inherently more violent and dangerous, and as a means of distancing whites people from the issue.Ledbetterman10 said:

That's tough. I guess I'm lucky not having to deal with relatives of that mind.Only once in my life have I had a relative prove to be blatantly racist. Some time back in the early 60's when I was a preteen, my mother's aunt came to stay with us for a few days. We took her up to San Francisco to show her the town and as we were driving around in one part of the city, my great aunt suddenly yelled out, "There sure are a lot of n****rs around here!" I was shocked to hear a relative toss out the N-word so casually. My mother was visibly unhappy and flustered and told her, "We don't use that kind of language around here!""It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Right, and what they really mean when they refer to the rise in shootings in Chicago, NYC and the like, is look at all that black on black crime. They sure aren't talking about the affluent white neighborhoods. Let's focus on those inner city communities where socio-economic disparity is at its highest due to decades and decades of inequity.oftenreading said:
Sure is. It allows white people to say “this has nothing to do with us”.Ledbetterman10 said:
Well that seems to be working well around here.oftenreading said:
It is indeed used to take away from the seriousness of the crime. It’s used to bolster the idea that black people are inherently more violent and dangerous, and as a means of distancing whites people from the issue.Ledbetterman10 said:
You should be right, but Halifax only likes to talk about gun violence incidents that fit a certain criteria.static111 said:
I was under the impression that there is only crime and not crime. Not black on black crime or white on white crime or white on black crime etc...just crime. Am I wrong there? I feel like the term black on black crime gets thrown around to take away some level of the seriousness of crime. Gun violence is gun violence in my mind.Ledbetterman10 said:
I think you already have that covered: spending your day searching the web for shooting articles. You just cherry-pick what you post. You don't post when it's black-on-black crime or gun violence in democrat-ran cities...for obvious reasons.Halifax2TheMax said:

And look at all those shootings in red states. When are the repubs going to do something about it?
But I don't think that term black-on-black crime is thrown around to take away from the seriousness of the crime. In fact, I've always felt the term originated from the black community, as if to say "What are we doing killing each other?" I used to think the same as you: what should it matter? But one thing I'm learning from this BLM movement is the black community is an actual community. I used to dismiss that. There's no "white community," so what are they talking about? But now I get it, from the moment the Europeans landed in West Africa in the late 1600's, they've had to band together. So "black-on-black crime" goes against that.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

One random (black guy) who you just dismiss because he don't fit your narrative?? The few who dare to wander off the plantation?? The hypocrisy and bigotry on your side is off the charts Just shrug them off, they dont count. Yup just Uncle Toms and Aunt Jemimas to you.I'd be interested to hear ON FOX the average black citizen or better, a townhall deal to get a better perspective of the black experience from various parts of the country. You know. to see what kind of consensus can be found from the community .side note, any segment with Spicer isnt worthy of seeing.edit, my bad, didnt realize it was from an even more worthless platform than fox.2 not sure I care to hear from anyone associated with Liberty University..... no matter who they are.Post edited by mickeyrat on_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

I find the stance you are taking to be nonsensical. You are certainly entitled to your opinion but I am entitled to comment that it is an opinion shared by exactly Zero black people I know and Zero Latino people I know (or am related to, being part Latino myself.).
I do find it to be a laughable idea. A joke.
The President does not care about black people. This should be clear by now. He only cares about silver spoon, blue bloods. He doesn't care about anyone else.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
This is incorrect. He doesn't care about "silver spoon" and "blue bloods." Nor does he care about black people or white people. He ONLY cares about himself. That's it. Nobody else. Okay, maybe he cares about Ivanka too. But even that's a stretch.F Me In The Brain said:

When I was in my early teens, I was driving with my stepdad and he got cut off by a black driver. He screamed “nigger!” at the guy.brianlux said:tbergs said:Nothing like seeing your family on the 4th and hearing comments like, "they should shoot the protestors" and "if they don't like it here they can go back to Africa". H-O-L-Y Fucki! My wife often wonders how I turned out the way I did with that type of upbringing. It was not uncommon to hear racial slurs as a kid and still to this day, but yeah, all lives matter. Sure.Oh man! That's tough. I guess I'm lucky not having to deal with relatives of that mind.Only once in my life have I had a relative prove to be blatantly racist. Some time back in the early 60's when I was a preteen, my mother's aunt came to stay with us for a few days. We took her up to San Francisco to show her the town and as we were driving around in one part of the city, my great aunt suddenly yelled out, "There sure are a lot of n****rs around here!" I was shocked to hear a relative toss out the N-word so casually. My mother was visibly unhappy and flustered and told her, "We don't use that kind of language around here!"He lost most of my respect (THIS is my mom’s new husband???), and I never looked at him the same again.
*He also lobbed a grapefruit from 13 floors up at those marching in one of LA’s pride parades in the 80s. Jesus f’in christo.0 -
Another thing to add to the list of things that white people can do that black people can’t, without coming under scrutiny - ride a horse.This guy owns four horses but people still assume he stole them when he rides. He gets death threats for it.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

Well I just watched a documentary about black conservatives and they were using that phrase. But they sure weren't using it in a dismissive manner. They were using it in a "This is a big problem" manner. And one that they want their community to take accountability for and eradicate. They argue that absentee fathers is the biggest problem in the black community (70% of black kids today grow up without two parents), and that leads to many young black men joining gangs in search of family/community/father-figures, which leads to.....well I don't want to say it. After all, it's a sickeningly dismissive phrase!oftenreading said:
Seriously? You’re actually using the phrase “black on black”? I have to say, I’m kinda surprised to read that here, though I guess I shouldn’t be. It’s a sickeningly dismissive phrase.Ledbetterman10 said:

And look at all those shootings in red states. When are the repubs going to do something about it?People are people, and most crime is relational. That means most crime is committed against people in your immediate family or neighbourhood or social circle. Why do we never hear the media talking about white on white crime? There’s certainly plenty of that.
