re: Provide me an African-American view on something

In the US, cops make 10 million arrests per year.

In the process, they kill an average of 500 people, mostly armed suspects.

CHICAGO alone had the same number of homicides in 2019 ....

Ignorant individuals believe black people accept black on black crime. Ignorant individuals believe criminal acts against police and innocent civilians at the hands of a black person is acceptable in the black community. Ignorant individuals believe black people are a monolith. We are not.

Why do so called black leaders never speak out about this but they harp on police killings of unarmed black men, which happened a grand total of 9 times in 2019?

Why don't black leaders speak out about 13% of the population committing 50% of violent crimes?

Why don't black leaders speak out about the 77% out of wedlock birth rate?

Why don't black leaders speak out about black parents not emphasizing academics?

The problem will be getting a representative response on this forum.

I think one of the pitfalls then becomes the tendency to substitute our own thoughts for that of the "African American view". But it's all fine and good.....the thread title just ends up being, in reality, slightly amended.

Blacks just want the opportunity to fix their community without prejudice or police brutality.

This is pretty much it. They want what most white people want: security, peace, opportunity, education, full access.

Of course there is a segment of the white and black population which doesn’t value these things.

The difference between good people and bad people isn’t race.

Would you believe that poor people commit more violent crimes, and that a higher percentage of black people are poor?

Would you believe that higher income inequality is shown to be linked to higher out of wedlock birth rates?

Pretty sure black leaders have spoken about black poverty, and we’re seeing the effects of that poverty

You’re right. My thread title has been amended.

And this is where you go off the rails statistically. Your hypo should be 10 to 1. FBI stats in 2017 had roughly 10 times more black on black homicide deaths than cop on black deaths. That’s just a little bit less than 500 to 1

Please corroborate. Because black on black deaths were about 483x as prevalent as white cop on unarmed black deaths in 2016 based on data posted in the “Relevant Statistics” thread. It could be the armed vs unarmed distinction.

ETA: thanks for the additional data VADawg

There are absolutely good and bad blacks and good and bad whites.

It is disgusting to me, though, that well-intentioned, kind-hearted, educated blacks are often shamed as being untrue to themselves amongst liberals and other blacks.

Conservatives and Moderates are much less prone to scorn a black man for not embodying inner city behaviors, in my view.

Wait, is that all he came up with?

Dont believe every Dave Chapelle comedy act you see. If I get mad at a cop he is going to beat me, taze me, throw me on the ground, cuff me, (possibly shoot me) bring me to jail, and he will suffer no consequences because I was displaying aggression. If you think cops aren’t unjustly murdering white people and getting away with it, please watch the uncensored Daniel Shaver video where the cop is playing simon says with him as he sobs and pleads for his life, and then the cop unloads on him with a rifle, later to be acquitted. Nobody protested for that one. There are hundreds of those instances but do you, a black man, honestly believe that the media is reporting when a white man is killed by police? Or could it be that in an effort to constantly divide whites and blacks, the media illuminates these select atrocities that fit a certain narrative? Could it be that black americans were liberated from actual slavery to the democrat elites, only to become psycological slaves the the democratic party? Wake up.
