It is important to know that these people are deflecting by bringing up other shit. But instead of getting into opinions and feelings, let's just look at data and facts. Now, the first racist fact these people will say is: "13% of the people (Blacks) commit 50% of the murders"

MOST white people don't live around black people, so they'd have no fucking clue WHAT black people talk about in black communities. According to the US Partnership on Mobility and Poverty, whites live in neighborhoods that are 75% white and 8% black, so how would they know?pic.twitter.com/RRGIcYbZPa

Now the next part is trickier to do on Twitter. Whenever I explain this part to white people, I ask everyone in a room to raise their hands if they spent an hour doing non-religious community service this month. 2 hrs? 3 hrs? Hands start to drop Usually only black hands are left

It turns out, I could have just used this peer-reviewed study that shows: "Specifically, African American individuals show the highest rates of participation, followed by White persons, individuals of other ethnicity, and Hispanic American individuals."pic.twitter.com/WJ853ALjCs

Well, who gives more money to charity? (We know whites have more disposable income, so let's base it on percentage) There's a study for that, too!pic.twitter.com/ugr25NRnMf

Why do I bring this up? Well, this is the part you do at home. And this part may be trickier now that COVID canceled everything. I once used Eventbrite for this part but Facebook Events is way easier. Go to FB and look up "stop the violence" events going on in your city...

Now look up "Black Lives Matter" protests. I BET there were more stop the violence rallies It is a verifiable fact that black people work harder to stop violence in their communities than they EVER blame police violence. They commit more money and time to the issue.

What does this have to do with anything? Well, anyone who actually went to a black church, barbershop, cookout, grandmother's house, strip club or anywhere that black people exist, would know that black people talk about this issue INCESSANTLY.

There are black fraternities, sororities, church groups, mentoring organizations, fish fries, summer camps, after-school programs, community centers, athletic teams, science clubs, music groups and a whole motherfucking rap song dedicated to stopping violence in black communities

There's a good reason white people don't know this: BECAUSE WE AREN'T TALKING TO YOU!!! Why the fuck would any black person talk to a white person about black on black crime?

Finally, there's the biggest question of all: If the black on black rate crime is damn near the same rate as white on white crime; if black people work HARDER and spend more money on it; if the insignificant differences in interracial crime can be explained by poverty...

Then why does this Vacation-Bible-School-sandwich of a myth persist? I could tell you that people use it to deflect from the real problem of white supremacy. I could tell you that some people are idiots. I could even explain that "wypipo gon' wypipo" but we're sticking to facts.

See, it is a FACT that the people who are least affected by white supremacy and racism are the most likely to deny its existence. It is a FACT that white people are the only demographic in America that thinks there is LESS discrimination that there is.pic.twitter.com/APFnUfvTK0

It is a FACT that whites really believe or don't care how police treat black people.pic.twitter.com/6tP2KopJTt

So, knowing that the whole "Black on Black crime" thing is not rooted in truth or evidence, why would anyone bring up a doctrine based on a provably false assumption? Well, there is no logical explanation for this besides ignorance, a belief in the inherent superiority or:pic.twitter.com/LDTEqT2YPI
