My question isn't malformed. It is a straightforward question: Why don't black communities riot over black on black homicide? <br /><br /><br />First, how is that prejudiced? <br /><br /><br />Second, can you answer it? Can you point me to march or a demonstration about black on black homicide similar to the Ferguson riots? If not, why not?<br /><br /><br />Everything else is distraction from that question. <br /><br /><br />I live in Detroit. I am well familiar with black on black crime.It is a daily occurrence. Yet I recall no riots from black on black crime. It has happened on my street, and in the blocks surrounding me. And there were no riots. That has nothing to do with a narrative. I am genuinely curious as to why. <br /><br /><br />I live in my community intentionally because I want to try to make a difference. I want to try to understand what is going on. I want to pursue racial harmony and reconciliation. And here's your chance to help me. Please don't do it by attacking me. <br /><br /><br />The question remains, why is the black community passionate when it is a white police officer killing a young black man, but they don't show the same passion when it is a young black man killing a young black man?LTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-34487434688257061482015-01-21T15:53:03.342-05:002015-01-21T15:53:03.342-05:00For anybody who has a problem understanding this i...For anybody who has a problem understanding this issue, please enjoy..Shout out to LT for inspiring me to correct some misrepresentations out there Jon Stewart Goes After Fox in Powerful Ferguson M…: http://youtu.be/b_Bk8TVZ7KUSean Lee Walthournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-27349641639505624492015-01-21T15:42:22.408-05:002015-01-21T15:42:22.408-05:00P.S. : in lamen terms, your question is the equiva...P.S. : in lamen terms, your question is the equivalent to asking " Why isn't water wet"...<br />(I'll let u figure that out)Sean Lee Walthournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-10491370411536453162015-01-21T15:38:24.123-05:002015-01-21T15:38:24.123-05:00FIt's off, your questioned is malformed itself...FIt's off, your questioned is malformed itself. It's a prejudiced and ignorant one to be honest. You basically implied that black people don't care about injustice when it's amongst ourselves, that is an uninformed opinion, which you based your conclusion.<br />have you not considereal that the MEDIA doesn't bring cameras out to cover the daily campaigns, protests,etc. In our communities, why? Because it doesn't fit the false narrative you have bought into. In other words, just because YOU can't see Mars from where you are, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also, have you not noticed how many WHITES marched with us in ferguson for example, and admit it was a RACIST incident? It's bad enough to be claiming it's all in our minds and we are hypocrites, but it begs the question: U Mean to tell me white people are imaginin racism against black people too?<br />Or could it be you that is deluded? <br />Remember that riot when Sandusky was fired n punished for child molestation?<br />Or when certain sports teams win or lose?<br />Those are white folks rioting.<br />where is the rioting when white Kids shoot up their schools?<br />Dosent white on white crime occur daily as well? Do you know how insane it is to question the morals of a group, when your group has the exact same one?<br /><br />I guess if you ARE right and I'm wrong, then there is another question, since white people DO kill each other everyday, why is it not hypocrisy to seek justice??????<br /><br /><br />#GetYourMindRightSean Lee Walthournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-88253729920390181162015-01-21T13:02:14.377-05:002015-01-21T13:02:14.377-05:00I am not sure that's obvious at all.

I am certainly open to that.<br /><br /><br />My response certainly explores something that the article is not clear on.<br /><br /><br /><br />And that is why I posted the question: Why don't black communities riot over black on black homicide? <br /><br /><br />I wonder if you or the author might have an answer to that.LTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-16903320172567794912015-01-17T00:57:40.653-05:002015-01-17T00:57:40.653-05:00Obviously you either didn't read or understand...Obviously you either didn't read or understand this article... genius!!!Sean Lee Walthournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-51445195053231649322014-12-08T18:11:50.746-05:002014-12-08T18:11:50.746-05:00Isn't the point about black on black crime tha...Isn't the point about black on black crime that it isn't about race? It shows that crime against black people is not motivated by race (as in white people hating black people and therefore committing crimes against them). It is black people committing crimes against black people. Crime is more often connected to neighborhoods, not race. If the grand juries in the Brown and Garner case had come back differently, that situation doesn't change. <br /><br />In other words, people were all upset that a white officer killed a black man (Michael Brown), but they weren't equally outraged about the black on black killings that are far more prevalent and more destructive to the black community.<br /><br />The question is why don't black communities riot over black on black homicide? That's not rhetorical. It's an actual question I don't have an answer to but I would be curious to know what others think.LTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-86448021926471691892014-11-05T23:11:25.410-05:002014-11-05T23:11:25.410-05:00A double standard, indeed!A double standard, indeed!BTSFbloghttp://bytheirstrangefruit.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-12727240182054332152014-11-05T22:02:08.744-05:002014-11-05T22:02:08.744-05:00There is a double standard when it's the domin...There is a double standard when it's the dominant culture being rowdy it just youthful hijinks.
