OT An issue nobody talks about in this country

I never hear anybody talk about how bad this is every year. Chicago. Just how many young black men die in Chicago by gun violence/gang violence. Why doesn't the black lives matter group talk about it? I mean apparently these black lives do not matter to progressives, they would rather ignore it and stick to the narrative that white cops hunt and gun down unarmed black men. Why isn't this a bigger issue to people? it's practically a war zone and nobody is doing anything about it? has the victimization of black people as a whole caused people to not say anything? why do black lives matter only matter when the crime is done by a white person? The numbers are staggering. 261 killed in 2017 alone so far

I've never heard of Chicago

 

It's pretty obvious why.

Both sides of the political spectrum will lie about it if asked so why bother?

 

masterbation isn't fun for me

 

I lack speed, dexterity and KY

 

Try typing with these claws. or masterbating with them. u will have a tough time.

 

Out of control now.





Chicago has long been near the top of the list of Black murders/Homicides.
But here is the thing. And I don't know the facts, I am asking.
Did you look at how many of those 261 were black on Black?
I have a hunch the majority are, and that would be why sects like BlackLivesMatter wouldn't want to bring it up or focus/bring to light, the subject.

I am not saying right or wrong either way, but this world has alot built off of respect and trust. That's what loans are about after all right?
Whether it makes sense, adds up or not, when respect is not giving within ones own family/race, then it is difficult for anyone on the outside to then give respect to them in return.

To put it another way, when a breed eats its young or own, most other breeds will not look up to them, but only fear/think less of. This goes for insects, amphibians, and humans. Its nature... unfortunately.

If, and I say this without fear and ONLY respect. If the Black race could truly unify and stop beating each other down and truly focus positive energy to the injustices they have endured over the centuries, with a want to end it and move forward peacefully, we would be living in a completely different world, and probably better one. It's well known that some of the best leaders, just and honest come from harsh times in childhood. Saw the wrongs at an early age and live their lives to fix them.

Just sayin... we ALL need to stop eating our young....Its one of the first steps in all of us getting along and living peacefully.

 

I have to climb down from my tree to piss. googling Chicago is way too exasperating.

 

I didn't look but I would assume most are minorities. Many of those bad neighborhoods are majority minority as well. i kinda just find it hypocritical, you have it in the name, "black lives matter" and they are always there whenever there is an injustice with the police and a black person BUT when there is consistent black on black crime nobody wants to talk about it or try to help. It baffles me and it's sad that these young kids are brainwashed from their childhood, into these gangs, no father, no education. It produces very serious mental illnesses and bad seeds. I hate hearing about it man, I hate hearing stories about kids getting killed in their room because they were doing their homework and it was a stray bullet that hit them or look no further than D wades cousin who was walking and got caught by a stray. I am not saying every black person their is a bad seed because there are plenty who try to get out of it and live their life but a majority are killing each other every day or trying to

 

Blacks are their own worst enemy, killing each other for money, drugs, or gang initiations, but they'd like you to believe they are all victims of murderous racism by caucasians.

Racist killings are actually very rare in America, considering we are the most melted pot in the world.

 

Yeah I remember hearing about this stupid ass movie spike lee made. basically glorifies that life

 

Chicago is great if you stay in luxury boutique hotels. My hotel last time had a "no guns" sign lolz.

 

Live and Let Die.

 

yeah but you know how presidents are. They don't really follow through and often lie about what they are going to do and instead do all the bad shit

 

This is the dumbest fucking thread ever. That's all white people talk about is Chicago. GTFO... It's the first fucking thing they bring up when we complain about police violence. Black on black crime. Well 84% of white people are killed by white people and nobody mentions white on white crime fucking ever... So lock this stupid ass thread.

 

I was going to post something similar, but I decided to just wait until you posted it in a better way than I could.

 

Just go through and look at some of the threads on this forum that talk about police violence. All you'll see is fucking black on black crime comments and comments about Chicago. Have you been under a fucking rock?
