Almost all white people are killed by white people. All most all Latinos are killed by Latinos. And almost all Black people are killed by Black people. But only one group, Black people, is asked daily to limit their advocacy to Black on Black crime.
The moment I hear someone say, “Why don’t Black people talk more or fight more against Black on Black crime?” I immediately know that you literally have no idea what you are talking about. None at all. Cities are full of marches and advocacy groups fighting this every single day
The United States does not require marches for Black people to be held responsible for violence, or for any crime. Nobody is held more responsible, no group is more imprisoned, than Black people. The system exists to punish Black people. Police on the other hand....
Police in this country have killed not hundreds, but tens of thousands of people. Each case is unique. What’s consistent, though, is that police are almost never held responsible - even in the most vile and flagrant and offensive cases. This requires advocacy.
White people are free in this country to be bothered by and march and walk for and against all forms of death and disease with virtually no blowback. But even the grief of Black people is policed and monitored and endlessly critiqued. //End of Thread
Yep, the instant someone starts quoting white supremacist tropes...done. They're clueless and useless.
Yeah, Same as when they start reeling off statistics without any context. The first thing you learn in quantitative analysis is that numbers without context say nothing at best and at worst mislead and misinform.
They know exactly what they’re talking about. They’re choosing to make excuses and ignore police brutality.
Marches and advocacy groups? Is that getting your hands dirty and teaching literacy ? Helping the disadvantaged of any color read, write, find hidden talents, recruit volunteers for STEM opportunities? Huh? Get off your pulpit and get in the trenches.
Lmao!!!! A bot talking about getting into the trenches
Try again. I’m not a bot. Are you?
Also, until "white on white" crime becomes a talking point, "black on black" crime is utter bullshit. People commit crimes on the people that are around them, & since we are geographically & economically segregated, similar people will victimize each other.
I support dudes working to change this everyday @MyNameSauce and @Thisl just to name a few.
Let’em know!
It's an obvious bigoted deflection. They willfully ignore existing work in communities and people "protest" injustices and not just bad things.
Yes but they can't raise as much awareness as people like u and the media. Shine a light on that as much as u do police brutality and watch how many more eyes open. Cuz we are the source of a lot of our own problems
Including the much maligned @LouisFarrakhan
