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.

No I said "black-on-black crime" doesn't exist because a black person killing another black person is just murder, it's not racially-motivated "black-on-black" muder. You can argue that "black-n-black crime" is a thing if you want to, but you would then also have to accept "white-on-white crime" and "Hispanic-on-Hispanic crime" as legitimate terms too, which people never do.

I didn't say it's impossible for a black person to commit something which is a crime. The claims aren't mutually exclusive.

And ok then my post didn't apply to you. But it does apply to a lot of people who throw out these crime statistics as if just to say "oh black people again... get it together". It's ignorant and dismissive of the societal conditions that can lead these people into crime.
