re: Serious Question About the St Louis Outrage

You're the one who tried to dismiss any discussion of black-on-black violence by stating that most people are killed by a member of the same race.

I am not dismissing it. I'm simply pointing out that the numbers of black on black crimes aren't that much higher than white on white crimes. If you want to break it down to a per capita basis to justify your criticism of it, go right ahead.

Whyisnt the black community similarly outraged over this black on black violence? Where are the marches for something that is happening with 100X more frequency?

---

Where do you get the idea there aren't members of the black community outraged by it? There are numerous organizations across the country that work to raise awareness of the issue. I'd say there are plenty of people within the black community that are outraged by it.

And again, the crime issue has much more to do with one's socioeconomic place in society than their racial place in society.
