LMAO i aint even open that s*** yet cause i wanted to skim this first

For sure. They really don’t care and clearly there doesn’t appear to be a line they won’t cross.

thought op was trolling in his other thread but I guess he really is a conservative

that girl got you so heated you made two KTT threads about it

Male on Male crime should be addressed

can’t come to the thread with anything to argue so instead you resort to jokes, beta s***

“y’all kill each other, why can’t we kill you?”

Op you’re hella hella dense

You are wrong tho.
Black Lives Matter started as a response to the system allowing a white man to get away with killing a black man for no reason . This same exact thing applies when police officers, who are also part of that system kill black people, specifically unarmed black people when they're supposed to be the ones protecting. And a lot of those get off on it, get light sentences or it gets covered up.

Anti-gun violence organizations existed in black communities before black lives matter was a thing. But they don't get the same amount of coverage.

i think more people would be willing to discuss this with you OP if you specifically mentioned this is hypocrisy from politicians. regular people def care about neighborhood and gang violence, most people advocate wanting to mitigate the conditions which create poverty and violence - i mean, how many times have you heard rappers say things like "we have to stop killing each other"/etc.
the real hypocrisy comes from politicians and others bureaucratic leaders who care about parading issues around for votes or clout rather than they do fixing underlying problems causing anything. when it comes to walking skeletons like Pelosi it's easier to just say "yeah cops bad, now let me kneel with this kente cloth" instead of being like "yeah actually impoverished violence is a multifaceted complex issue, my approach to fixing it will be..." because the latter involves actually doing something which is the antithesis of modern politics

Self defense is the only reason a human should kill another human

Basically this is exactly what they’re saying when they bring up the myth of black on black crime.

Long story short: inner city crime is due to a number of factors some out of the control of black people as a whole. No one is ever killed for just being black. And no one ever is caught and camera and given a get out a jail free card.

You noticed all the riots stopped once the officers were arrested right? All people want is accountability for the police. Black men aren’t killing and walking free.

that’s what i’m saying. i’m well aware there are programs for close proximity violence in the black community but the lack of coverage is exactly my point

youre absolutely right. thank you.

how so

Don't sit here and patronize me for laughing at your s*** thread when you're enabling right-wing rhetoric used to enable police brutality and dismiss issues plaguing black communities like no others

And you have the nerve to say "and I'm black so". Please, do us a favor and shut the f*** up

OP I understand where you’re coming from but the fabric of America is built ok systematically keeping the African American community down. If you’re born into an environment of poverty, you’re not provided the same educations and extra curricular activities to deter you from falling into rough crowds of similar people to the situation as you, not being provided the mental escape of therapy or guidance to help deter and combat those demons, and literally fighting for a meal to survive, all while seeing people have everything you don’t have, you’ll naturally be angry and misguided. It’s a vicious cycle and I don’t think anyone can truly understand unless they’ve lived through those traumatic lifestyles. It’s a terrible thing OP. I truly believe it will never change. You’re taking centuries of calculated steps to keep a group of people from succeeding.

never did i say police brutality was ok. and never did i dismiss the issues. check my threads and i acknowledged the fact that our communities are being purposely underfunded and segregated to create cycles of inequity. for example, they give a billion dollars to the NYPD every year to patrol communities with economic disparities. that’s SYSTEMICALLY built for our people to fail bruh. maybe i should have worded my stuff better but don’t paint me as right wing, i want to see better for us

i agree with you, man. though i believe this can change. i will never give up on my community because i know we can achieve equity one day. maybe not in our lifetimes but it must happen. we need financial literacy classes. more opportunity being given to us than what is offered currently. this is the only way to end the violence

But I feel like republicans use that angle when she like this happens which is wack move

So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?

Deep

To keep it real gang violence is something that niggas need to start marching for, not saying I’m against police brutality is something that needs to be taken lightly or anything.

I grew up in Baltimore and saw niggas take the lives of other brothers over the simplest s***. that’s something that’s wrong with our community that we need to address and start to fix fr.

Honestly though I think in order to get people to start crossing the line to the right side of history you need to be able to face and answer tough questions like you proposed. Once people start understanding the disadvantages of being an African American and how it goes beyond surface level struggles they’ll be able to see why people are fighting so hard for a change
