BLM Violent Hate Group

First off, if the percentage of blacks who are killed is the same as the percentage of whites who are killed, that's still a very disproportionate number of black people. Black people are only what, 10-15% of America? For there to be absolutely no racial bias in these killings, only 10-15% of police brutality victims should be black. It's far more than 15% going on the frequency of which we hear about it compared to whites being killed.

Also "black-on-black crime" is not a thing. When a black person kills another black person, it's wrong of course, but they're not killing eachother because they're black. Most murders are intraracial (within the same race) because of the generally segregated nature of American neighbourhoods. Most white murder victims are murdered by other white people, is that "white-on-white crime"? Nobody ever calls it that unless it's black people involved.

ETA pretty much what the guy in that video BQ posted earlier was saying, just saw that.

Black on black crime is a thing because it's very notable.  Black people are being killed at a higher rate than any other racial group in America relative to the size of their population.  Black people are the ones doing the majority of the murdering.

What do you expect though? Black people are significantly more likely than any other race to live in poverty in low-income neighbourhoods, deprived of opportunities and adequate facilities. Those conditions are breeding grounds for crime.

People don't address that though. It's easy to throw out crime statistics without ever taking context, historical legacies and socio-economic factors into account. People act like inner city crime issues happen in a vacuum, that it comes out of nowhere.  Ok you might not be wrong to point out that crime rates are higher among inner-city black people, but it's really asinine basically saying "oh these people just need to get it together" like that's a solution, when they simply aren't being given the resources and facilities (or reasonable policing by people who care about their community) to do so.
