Take a look at the first two pages of this thread and my initial responses to your OP. I conceded to many of your points about Clinton there and throughout this thread. I consider myself a thoughtful and fair person. Nix, those stats are as misleading as Briggs stats about cops killing more whites than blacks. How silly is it to compare numbers without specifying the percentages of whites vs. blacks in america? 1 out of x whites vs 1 out of x blacks, not 130 whites and 120 blacks. C'mon ... how can someone just ignore that. I am in no way saying that blacks are worse than whites or vise versa, there are many other issues that may lead to more crime in different areas with specific races but lets not through numbers out there that are blatantly misleading. so here is what phil is thinking ....

I consider myself a thoughtful and fair person. And here we are in the weeds! Adding skewable data to an argument based on faulty assumptions is pointless. It's BRIGGS' faulty assumptions and bad logic that I'm trying to attack... over and over. Of course I get a direct response when I drop the N word... Alinsky tactics! Maybe he'll actually finally respond to the first page of this thread. Or we'll just get a link about a black-on-black shootout in a chicken shack somewhere and how it's Obama's fault and how it makes cops so scared! Baba Booey 2016 — "It's Silly Season"

I consider myself a thoughtful and fair person. I will say that it wasn't my best set of examples but my point still stands that most of the time people mention Black on Black crime as if it's something unique when in fact it's just normal for people of the same race to have high contact with each other and thus the majority of crimes are within their own race. So it's not inaccurate to point out that White on White Crime is no different than Black on Black crime rates. They're both higher than cross racial crime. The Black on Black thing is a ruse that racists use. |

![]() mreinman wrote:didn't jesse jackson said that he is scared of black people? Wow, I never heard that quote before, I had to look that up. http://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/12/opinion/in-america-a-sea-change-on-crime.html That's ironic he said that during an inner city anti-crime tour, and 15 years later he wants to cut Obama's nuts off for talking down to black folks. "Messy Jesse" he may be, but at least he hasn't shot anyone to death, far as I know. Yes, there are problems with violence in African-American communities. Who the hell is denying this? It's not unique to us, but it is exacerbated by a myriad of issues. I object to the idea that we are just sitting around just blaming white people and not trying to do this hard work to uplift ourselves. Like we aren't having tough conversations within and without and trying to figure out how to bring peace. Maybe it's just because some of these critics aren't in touch with our communities, they think we don't have these conversations until Bill Cosby pops on the news with some juicy slams on our funky names... and just stays on this "yea! those names are stupid! get it together coloreds!" — the dumbed-down, 9th circle of hell snarky YouTube troll comments that passes for today's discourse. Which apparently gets you to the county level of GOP leadership? (Let alone that party's presidential nomination.) It's a damn shame what has happened to that party.

Take a look at the first two pages of this thread and my initial responses to your OP. I conceded to many of your points about Clinton there and throughout this thread. I consider myself a thoughtful and fair person. whats the % of black on black crime vs. white on white? Also, one would need to factor in that there are many more whites so of course there will be many more white victims. Again, not a judgement, just pointing out that your comment is still stating things without context. I would say that in poor lower class (in earnings) neighborhoods there will of course be much more crime. There are many other factors such as religion and extremism. How many jew on jew murders do you see, or muslim on muslim crime do you see in the US? I am sure that destitute white neighborhoods have very high crime rates as well. There are many factors to consider. The percentage of incarcerated black men are extremely high % wise and that is not because they are black obviously. Its the broken system that we have that limits the options of poor minorities. so here is what phil is thinking ....

So it's not inaccurate to point out that White on White Crime is no different than Black on Black crime rates. They're both higher than cross racial crime. The Black on Black thing is a ruse that racists use. We should note that we are stuck in the weeds about percentages. Next we'll be talking about Al Sharpton's Win Shares. Remember how we got here: cops are scared of AA and I believe that is why you see incidents that you see. If they are so willing to kill each other--than why shouldn't everyone else be wary--especially police? In other words — a bit hyperbolic to stress the point — they are such a savage people, the crime they commit scares people whose jobs wouldn't exist if crime didn't exist. And there is something unique about "black on black" crime that makes it have power over the heart of the average police officer over any other kind of crime. So much, you gotta understand a little extrajudicial killing here and there. Can we please deal with the faulty assumptions of BRIGGS and not flop around in bar charts? Hyperbole aside, I think I am being more fair to BRIGGS posts than he is with Obama's record IMHO. The funny thing is that saying "cops are scared of AA" speaks to my kid watching kung fu story... may be true... but then aren't you describing implicit bias?!? you are one step away from BLM!!! OR... the problem is cops AREN'T scared of black people in the sense of accountability. They know that they can be reckless with certain people's lives and not even lose their jobs. Of course I'm also happy to get back to all the problems in the OP. Baba Booey 2016 — "It's Silly Season"

It seems to me most female cops just tag along. Don't think I ever saw one go mano on mano with a real criminal but thats the politically correct world we live in. The problem is people protest, loot, injure and kill even when the cops were justified. It divides the country and only illegitimizes incidents like this one too many people. The girl screaming on TV about how she fears for her life at the hands of white cops everyday last night was out of her mind. Not a week goes by here in Newark without a black on black shooting death. Sometimes a poor young black kid walking home from school gets caught in a crossfire in drive by shooting between rival gangs. Like in other cities like Chicago I'm sure civilians fear criminals much more than they fear the police. I've lost faith in all humanity especially a good portion of Americans. Nothing phases me anymore and I really don't give a **** about anyone but myself. Complete 180 from the person I used to be. I can only worry about myself. I really don't care what happens around me. Just stay out of my way |

The Black on Black thing is a ruse that racists use. just called them out because they were misreporting. And lets not forget this quote: “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson so here is what phil is thinking ....

So it's not inaccurate to point out that White on White Crime is no different than Black on Black crime rates. They're both higher than cross racial crime. The Black on Black thing is a ruse that racists use. I do love learning about that quote. But to counter: What if the problem is some cops aren't scared of black people in the sense of accountability within the system. They know that they can be reckless with deadly force with the people's lives they have sworn to serve, and not even lose their jobs. Of course any one could be scared: men, women, children... any peaceful-minded person when faced with potential violence. I'm just saying don't treat everybody with the "they're a thug" default mode and escalate needlessly. I don't like gun fetish culture, unfortunately the GOP does. I appreciate the work cops do but I will call out injustice on all sides. Baba Booey 2016 — "It's Silly Season"

It's short-sighted and stupid and I condemn it morally and tactically. But I will never treasure property over people. So I disagree. Baba Booey 2016 — "It's Silly Season"

How about if it saves lives? so here is what phil is thinking ....

![]() There would be more looting and destruction of private property today if it wasn't for the authorities. I'm sure some of the victimized store owners were black as well. The destruction of a beautiful city. What a shame
