A lot of you are missing the point. I'm black. If I go out and ruthlessly kill another black man and get caught I will at the very least face murder chargers. People feel as if a white guy does it he could easily walk away without even ever going to trial no matter if he was right or not.

I still like Sherman though as I understand what he is saying but there are lots of movements to try to stop black on black violence. I can speak on LR/NLR specifically.

False.

The vast majority of murders in chicago, for example, are blacks killing blacks.

And the vast majority of them never get solved. A recent study showed only a 26% clearance rate.

But when its themselves, and their own delinquent children killing their counterparts, who are they going to blame? No one is going to march and say "we're raising murderers! So we are creating our own problem!"

But when it's a white person, they can position themselves as the victim, and disregard the overwhelming percentage of blacks who get killed by blacks for the few who aren't.

Yeah that first paragraph is crap. Anyone with tremendous power regardless of race could walk away.

It's a class issue not race. Many people can't distinguish the difference
