    Because it's not a thing. It's simply crime. The fact that it happens to be other blacks is TWOFOLD. Proximity and the fact that we don't really do bad things to white folk.

    Well there were a bunch of Charlottesville protesters chanting white lives matter, yet they don't even care about the white on white crime.

    No I said quite a few things but got told it was a construct. You don't find it interesting that 13 percent of this country, black people make up yet the crime rate on each other is insane? I think that's pretty telling right there. Most black people these days wanna just sit around and blame white people. It's easy. Easy excuse as to how you failed in life. However I have seen many black people make it out of the hood because they didn't use this as an excuse. Our boy dame for example. Could of used it as an excuse and white apologists like you would of been okay with it but instead he made a name. Probably worth a good 300 million now in his life at the age of 26. Now that's a success story. No excuses. Just straight focus and grind. No excuses.

    Apparently you also don't find it alarming that in Chicago many die every weekend. That also excludes bad places like Baltimore as well. We are talking one city. The issue is you don't care enough, you are the one truthfully deflecting. I said plenty in this thread but gave up when told I was whitesplaining and that it's all just a construct

    No I just find their name ironic honestly. Everything I have seen from that movement including the new feminist movement as well as antifa, far right. All of it just breeds more hate. Never seen a peaceful protest out of those groups. Just crazy ideologies

    I think it's a problem, which I mentioned earlier in the thread. But it's a crime problem, not a "black people" problem. The insinuation that black people are inherently more violent and need to sort themselves out sounds more than a little racist, which I presume is why you're getting the blowback you resent so much.

    I think everybody matters. That's why I bring it up. You think I bring up black on black crime as a way to say hey look these people are bad. No, it's really just me saying hey I give a fuck about these people over here, I don't want these young kids dying every weekend due to stupid shit. I address it because I care. Even here in gresham, you think I like hearing about a 16 year old stabbed in the park over gang shit? Or another that recently got shot in the head by other teenagers? I mean I don't know what I'm supposed to say anymore, I have made myself clear but you still find a way to twist it into your own thing

    Yeah and they are retarded. I call it on both sides. Most don't because of bias views.

    Example of your virtue signaling. You virtue signal the things you view as virtues and that you believe you possess. Just for future reference when you go on one of your rants about virtue signaling.

    I disagree, I think black people brought up in those environments are inherently violent and there is proof behind it, otherwise you wouldn't have 16 year olds shooting at each other over there. It's how gangs operate. Kids are raised like that. I'm not saying all black people, just most of those in those environments. It's logic, but of course you're another one to claim racist on it

    Not really, I do call it on both sides. You just twist things I say how you want. Typical left way. On this forum I have criticized everything from the neo nazis to police, everything. Check my history. I address everything.

    It's great that you care about gang violence. It's admirable that you want to bring attention to the loss of teenage lives. It's fantastic that you want to address it.

    The ONLY thing that people really take issue with (and the reason the cartoon in the OP is offensive) is when seemingly well-meaning people imply that because gang violence exists, they shouldn't care about other injustices. As a species, we have the ability to care about and address multiple different problems simultaneously.

    If Donald Trump grew up in a single wide in Alabama he'd be a different person. It's just the truth. So would I.

    Environment has everything to do with it. Not skin.

    I'm not saying you do or you don't. I'm just saying you're virtue signaling like hell about your "impartiality."

    There's a contradiction in saying that they're inherently violent, and that they were raised that way. Inherent means, "existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute." In other words, if they are "inherently violent", it means they were born that way.

    Just saying, you might want to pick different phraseology if you don't want to be perceived as racist.

    Sigh.... This is why I disengage with a lot of white males on race... They seem to only use their own perspective and refuse to stand in another's shoes... I've met many that can talk about it but in general if they're not willing to see other perspectives that makes me disengage.

    I never said that, I don't control how people think. I just find it crazy the thing I am addressing I get called racist for it and I am whitesplaining all of a sudden. Like alright, great conversation. I think a single rally has gotten full attention. I still don't think people care nearly enough the same way for kids lives being lost. Black lives at that yet everybody acts like they care about black lives. It's interesting to watch

    We'll never agree on anything. I say loyalty by Kendrick Lamar is the worst song ever played on the radio. I'm sure someone somewhere likes it.
