BLM Violent Hate Group

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.

You said black on black crime is not a thing, I said it is a thing, now you're saying what do I expect?

I said it's a notable thing, not that there aren't any reasons for this notable thing one of which is most likely to some extent a level of poverty.
