People really think black people sit on our asses,twiddling our thumbs all day and act like crime doesn't exist....
I don't understand, how any can think black people don't do anything to stop crime in the community.
Black people are the only people that gets told to stop crime within the community yet nobody isn't will go to the root of the problem.
We as a community have segregated cities like Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and etc,loan discrimination, housing discrimination, job discrimination and a plethora of other bullshit we gotta deal with on a daily basis but someone wants to talk about the symptoms of the problem.
And,we do get our shit together white people likes to bomb our communities and tell us to pull ourselves by the bootstrap.....lol
I see people in this thread talking about black on black crime don't exist, proximity, etc.
I quoted you because I know you're up in Ohio and can back this point(not for what you wrote). Is St. Clair close to Kinsman? No, right. How far is it to the W25 projects from Union? It's a hump right? What about from D'ville to 93rd? What about the 131 to Banbury? What about Madison to Buckeye?
Yet and still, cats still manage to travel all that way, put in fucking work, and go all the way back up. It's wild out here. Remember how bad the banging was in the 90s? Cats would walk past white kids to ask a black kid where he was from. But black and black crime don't exist.
Cats take road trips to different areas to kick up shit. Everyone who was out there knows this shit. Acadmics who make excuses don't know reality. Fuck I look like robbing the dope boy down the block? I'm taking my ass on the west side and running pockets. I'm going to St. Clair. Run pockets, kick doors, and bring my ass back to my neck of the woods.
As to the topic, both issues are problems but to me the pigs are the bigger threat because we never can escape them. I can protect myself from black on black crime. Been doing it for decades. I can't do shit with pigs. NOTHING. I can move to the best place in the county. Get the best car. And as soon as I hit the road, I'm at the mercy of some wannabe tough guy pig.
Solving black-on-black crime really starts at home for the most part, but these pigs are systemic and they know it. Fuck pigs, but black-on-black crime is real. While cats was in college learning talking points, we were doing it sadly.
