Because I distinguished "lacking color" with "predominately white", separate from "lacking distinction". Good try though.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
I further understand how this works.

You have as much proof as the AshTray prosecution. Gotta come up with something better.
Better than quoted proof?
You're not too good at this are you?
Chicago has such a crime problem because the city is too dark. Much like every other city, the darker it gets, crime seems to follow. In the lighter parts of the nation there's a lot less crime.
No seriously... most crime happens at night.
"Not a peep. Not a mumbling word when the black folk getting shot. But now Newtown, CT, vanilla side, low and behold… We have a major conversation. That’s wonderful. Each life is precious, but it just upsets me when we’re so differential. "
Yep....he ain't talking about color....And he didn't mean black folks as in African Americans...he meant folks with a dark soul or something...
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
You are changing the subject. You said the black community doesn't care about black on black crime. I was giving evidence that they do. That's it. Whether Cornell West is bigoted or used vanilla to mean white is irrelevant to your claim that they don't care about black on black crime.
We are never going to agree on this so I will say this. I heard of this guy recently and read a few of his articles about race, mainly having to do with black culture being a detriment to blacks. He has some very interesting views.

How Hip-Hop Holds Blacks Back by John H. McWhorter, City Journal Summer 2003
this is one of his articles about rap and hip hop.
Well at least you understand that the black community is not a monolithic group who all believe the same thing. I have provided some evidence that prominent black leaders care about black on black crime. Can you provide me some evidence that they don't? Perhaps a statement where one of them says it is not a problem? I don't even care if its from 1984.
Evidence that they dont care is the fact that we hear almost nothing about black on black crime. How much outrage did we see among 'black leaders' after 74 blacks were shot (12 killed) in Chicago between July 3-July 7? Where is the outrage among black leaders that 200 people have been killed in Chicago this year with more than 150 of them being black?
Black on black crime has been a problem for many years which is why some of the links I sent were from different time periods. Just because they don't have a rally every few weeks doesn't mean it isn't a concern. The fact you don't hear much about it isn't because the black community doesn't care, it's because the media doesn't particularly care. The media is mostly concerned with breaking news and the right now, they don't give much coverage to persistent issues because people get tired of hearing about the same issues over and over.
