[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing - I wish blacks would SERIOUSLY start addressing the issue of black-on-black violence. I live in what many would consider to be the 'hood - and I feel as though every week I pass a church where there is a funeral for a youth. When I check news reports, these deaths are barely mentioned. It's disgusting. But, the only solution will come from within the black community.[/quote]
Ok why don't you call white people killing white people white 
White on white crime??
It is just crime !!!!!!!
Communities most affected by it need to adress it, but please don't act as of it some special kind of crime when both the victim and perpetrator are black.[/quote]

Well, if a white kid dies (like that 16-year-old girl from McLean recently) it makes the national news. If it's a 16yo black kid from NE where I live, it barely gets a notice.  When was the last time you saw a young black kids "street" death make the national news?[/quote]

Rarely. And on another message board, someone had an excellent comment regarding black-on-black violence.

In many instances, white people like to throw this up as if it's out of concern. If that is so, why is the concentration more on the black PERPS and not the black VICTIMS of this violence? The emphasis is more on black people being violent and not black people being victims. [/quote]
