The equivalence lies with the reaction by the media, SJW's, and everyone else.
Black on black crime = no media event, no calls for "this must stop", no one really cares.
Frat guys shoot a sign = "They can't get away with this! Attack!!!"
Point is, when it comes to something that actually matters, the SJW crowd is silent. When it comes to pushing forth a political agenda, they start loading up the buses.
This is true for both sides on outlandish shite. This board loses its collective mind when statues are removed - an issue that is extremely far down the list of real problems.
Whataboutism is the name of the game on the Political Talk and Dem Underground. Hypocrisy is rampant.
ETA - some people seem to have a difficult time acknowledging this is despicable without throwing in some caveat about statues or black on black crime. Can't they both be terrible?

Precisely.
The mindset required to see the picture in the OP and think, "well, what about black on black crime or statues" is bewildering.

The one that people are more outraged when a black man is killed by a cop than by one of their own. Also the one that has faux outrage over statues and demands their removal. It's a statue...why not care more about your community and crime than some statue. I think it's all an excuse to not take any accountability.

You say this like it's a bad thing.
You absolutely should be more upset if someone you love is killed by someone who's tasked with protecting you.

Yeah, a 5 minute blurb on the media isn't comparable to the faux outrage we see with cases such as morons shooting a sign.

Programs and institutions have been put in place accross many cities to curtail such violence.
Literally, every weekend in Chicago a minimum of 10 people are shot.
quote:
For people to sit there and say no one tries to stop black on black crime or that no one cares about it is completely asinine.
In the SJW and media world, they don't care. Because it is not politically viable to talk about it. How many marches or parades do they have for every black kid shot? That only happens if the perpetrator is white or near-white. But we don't see the calls from the race-baiters or SJW progs to stop black on black violence. We will see them march on Oxford, however. Why? Because it's politically beneficial to perpetrate the "all white people are racists, and shooting a sign proves it".
That's undeniable. It may sound horrible, but it is the truth. The SJW mentality is has a political aim. Perpetuate the myth that white people = bad, and you may be able to get a few votes from it. If this isn't true, then explain Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's career.

I told you why it is related. The acts are nowhere near related. The relation is the reaction.
I'm simply pointing out, that if those calling for these kids heads, will also be charging up the bull horns the next time a black teen is gunned down in their own neighborhood. You know, and I know, those same people won't be talking about that.

But to sit there and say no one bats an eye at black on black crime is cheap and insincere. What the media covers generally is unrelated to what is actually happening out in the real world. Turn off the tv.

Absolutely. But the scale in comparison is much greater for one, than the other, yet the faux outrage is much greater for the lesser of the "crimes".

Not sure where you live but in BR we had an incident where a high school qb was killed in the hood with 100 witnesses around and there was hardly any outrage and demands for justice. Then we had the Alton Sterling case, a career criminal that was killed by cops. The outrage resulted in 3 dead officers and many protests. How can a community defend a TPOS yet not police their own when a young kid is killed?

not the white ones...i wonder why

If you want to prove white people have changed in the past 70 or so years from Emmet Till lynching, stanning for people damaging his sign isn’t a good start.

It's moreso hypocrisy. SJW groups will "mobilize" against these fratsters, but will be silent over issues that actually impact the "black community" such as black on black crime. Just pointing out, the outrage is disingenuous unless the same people up in arms, are up in arms about issues that actually matter.

Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to them.

Doesn't racism impact the black community just like black on black crime?

I'm not acting like that at all. My posts have been to point out the hypocrisy in this whole situation.

I'm not "worrying about it" mr. red herring.

Oh i agree that genuine people are doing so. And those are the people that matter. My point is, the things that matter, are marginalized and does not get the media attention it should. Which i don't think, is debated by anyone. My posts have just been to point that out, and mainly to answer the question of "why are these 2 even related".

Sigh... I'm here to have a discussion, if you want to imply something about me or my posts, than just come out and say it, or...novel idea... ask me directly, what i am implying.

There is a great deal of truth in this statement....
that being said, the level of stupidity shown by these idiots is epic.
spoke with my nephew last night who lives in Oxford and is a relatively recent OM KA alum. national KA has already gotten involved and these three are gone...
interesting what else he told me though, said that all of them were from out of state and didn't know/understand the history and how much of a raw nerve it is..
my suggestion to him was that OM needs to have something in freshman orientation explaining the history of the university and talk about people like Emmitt Till and why it's such a third rail...
