CNN Contributor: Civil Rights Activists Too Silent on Black-on-Black Crime

"If the child who had beaten to death, whose skull had been crushed just a couple days ago, had been shot or killed by a white person, blood would run through the streets."

Exactly, and if the victim had been white, this would be a non-story and you sure wouldn’t see Rev Jackson chiming in.

Telling it like it is. I am tired of so-called “civil rights activists” targeting the symptoms rather than trying to attack the cause of the problems in the inner cities. It’s not any government’s fault that some knucklehead teenager decided to kill this poor young man. More drug laws or gun laws (or any other laws) will do nothing to alleviate the problems in the inner cities. Parents and communities have to stop raising ignorant fools that engage in destructive activities.

Don’t forget about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Have no fear tho, Obama is going to fix the youth violence problem just like every problem… he’s gonna throw money at it and hope it sticks. Way to fail again. These idiots are completely see-through, if they really cared, they would of done this a couple of days ago instead of flying in for a photo op today.

Amen brother!! If these communities start pulling themselves up, I’m sure there will be many supporters willing to help, me included. He had it exactly right..this is not a government problem!!!

Why does racist J Jackson not complain when white kids are beaten or killed? Why did J Jackson turn a blind eye to all the black on white violence and deaths in LA during the big race riots (time for blacks to steal TV’s and loot and plunder) and such? JJackson is a political wh-ore that takes advantage of the uneducated.

Has he been called a racist yet.

Beano   October 7th, 2009 - 7:26 pm

The only reason this made the national news is because it was caught on tape. Otherwise, a black killing a black is just routine behavior on the streets of most liberally decimated inner cities across America. This guy was right. Let a white guy do this to a black kid and that city would burn. The tribal like behavior is cultural we are often told. The silence from the liberal, race hustling, poverty pimps, is deafening.

That is the first time I have heard a person of color describe the situation completely correct. Take responsibility and fix your community from the inside out. No one takes the blame for the crime, but sure can point fingers. This is not a race issue it is community issue. Clean up your kids and start acting like parents and punish your kids for getting out of line. All of the activist want it for someone else to do their job. WAKE UP!

Coolpillow   October 7th, 2009 - 7:42 pm

They didn’t get the Olympics- so they are giving this as payback.
Keep it up you morons- you may have taken the election, but You are NOT going to take this country!

pepito cojones   October 7th, 2009 - 7:51 pm

Civil Rights leaders such as Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson are a bunch of shysters and agent provocateurs, only out there for their own benefit & well being. They believe in the status quo only for their own welfare… so to speak.

yo   October 7th, 2009 - 7:54 pm

This guy looks like a real leader to me. Godspeed to you sir.

Andre   October 7th, 2009 - 8:02 pm

So sad, yet so true. Jackson and Sharptons livlihood depends on promoting, creating racial tension. They should be ashamed of using the title REVEREND.

gregalogue   October 7th, 2009 - 8:23 pm

Who is this guy? He speaks way too much sense to be on CNN.

Sadly, I fear that this will fall upon deaf ears.

Gandhi's Fist   October 7th, 2009 - 8:41 pm

Smart guy with a clear bead on the problem. If only every other minority in the country felt this way, what a wonderful place this would be.

(AP) Associated Press   October 7th, 2009 - 8:42 pm

Once again, AP Writer Rachel D’Oro shows her true colors and writes a sl.utty headline and an accompanying article I wouldn’t even read…

Hey Rachel, stay in the fu**ing gutter and take The N0bamessiah to H3LL with you!

Gandhi's Fist   October 7th, 2009 - 8:43 pm

BTW: Did anyone notice how the CNN host was attempting to lead this guy down the “it’s the government’s fault” line of thinking. What a pablum puking liberal.

Darwin   October 7th, 2009 - 10:15 pm

Thinning of the herd. This is a good thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Rick2112   October 7th, 2009 - 10:55 pm

I love that title “Civil Rights Activists Too Silent on Black-on-Black Crime”, almost makes it sound like “Black-on-White” crime is ok. I believe the problem here is with what the police can and can not do. If you have police show up in force in a crime ridden community, the word police state pops up. The black community will scream about how racist it is that the police are in their little part of the world, and it’s just to harass decent black folk. If the police don’t show up, it once again racist, but now it’s because the police are afraid to come into that community and don’t care about the safety of black people. There is no winning in this…….

Right On!   October 7th, 2009 - 11:16 pm

This advice is so true… It holds up in all situations and all places. If everyone is taking care of what their actions and accountabilities then it can be solved. This man is wise.

Well, Duh!   October 8th, 2009 - 12:12 am

This guy gets it. I guess it is dawning on a few intelligent blacks that blaming all blacks’ problems on whites and then relying on the Uncle Sugar to provide all their needs is not working. About time! Better late than never.

Well, Duh!   October 8th, 2009 - 12:20 am

While Wolf Blitzer and the empty skirts at CNN will never tell you this, there are two crime statistics that every American should keep in the forefrong of his mind in order to keep this kind of black crime-victim discussions in perspective:

-FAR more black crime victims are annually victims of criminal acts committed by blacks than by whites (but what gets the publicity?)

-FAR more black-on-white violent crimes — some of them incredibly vicious and gruesome — are committed annually in this country than white-on-black violent crimes (but what does CNN talk about?)

Additionally, black “leaders” like Jesse and Al need to realize that most whites grow weary of being blamed for things that blacks do to themselves. Jesse and Al are rich: Do they really give a tinker’s dam about “their people?” To ask the question is to answer it.

Randy   October 8th, 2009 - 12:34 am

Notice that his bender is all too eager to mention moving kids causes problems when they are all black but where were these types when it was moving Blacks into White schools??????? LOL! What is the common demoninator here of who is causing the problem? LOL!

Rev_Al_Sharpton   October 8th, 2009 - 1:46 am

Obviously a racist ! ! !

We don’t need his kind here in Chicago (I need my job).

My good friend Jesse Jackson and I will fight racism where ever we encounter it. Even among our own.

R A C I S T ! ! ! Watch out —- We’re coming after you ! ! !

HWP   October 8th, 2009 - 6:25 am

Just like the Gates incident with the cops. If this had been a white guy breaking down the front door of his home and the cops were called (in a white neighborhood the cops would most definitely would be called…that’s the way it’s done). Breaking in the front door…climbing in thru windows, I guess this is the norm for black people? That’s why I never got the hype with all this. Whether you like it or not, raising your kid isn’t the responsibility of the “Village”…it’s your responsibility! Black parents need to be held accountable. Get off your fat a$$, quit watching Oprah, and take care of your kids. “It takes a Village to raise a child” NOT! Obviously, with that statement..you then raise a village idiot! Try teaching them respect and discipline….it WORKS! BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO “TAKE CARE OF” THEIR KIDS. QUIT WAITING ON ELSE TO DO IT. THE GOVERNMENT CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH.

Gandhi's Fist   October 8th, 2009 - 9:24 am

@HWP

I’d take that last statement further and say, the government can’t do much–ever. Almost every decent American has had it with the antics of this “community”. So far, all the government has communicated, is to ignore their obstreperous behavior, profligate illegitimate births and criminality. To notice these factors is to be labeled–incorrectly of course–a racist.

Dave   October 8th, 2009 - 9:29 am

Pretty much all that we hear about is black on black crime,what we rarely hear about is black on white crime and how much of it is racial in nature.
For example,in 2004 there were over 34,000 rapes of white women by black males in the US alone while there were less than 10 cases of black females being raped by white males(some were fake like the Duke Lacrosse fiasco).
That is what we don’t hear about!

The Truth!   October 8th, 2009 - 5:45 pm

Quite frankly there wouldn’t be violent crime committed by teens on teens if their parents had done their job by raising them to have decent values. None of this would be an issue. Instead, teens are committing violent crime on each other regardless of race (remember Columbine – all white kids). This incident is no different from any other crime scenario that ends in death by teens. It’s all equally disgusting and the parents need to stop being so self absorbed and raise their children to have HUMAN VALUES and not ANIMALISTIC ONES!

Observantminority   October 8th, 2009 - 9:44 pm

Conservative GOP too silent about racists in their own party.

No to everything   October 10th, 2009 - 11:14 am

Black on white crime is the thing they never discuss either.Any honest look and we can see that way more whites have been murdered every couple of years than all the lynchings of the Jim Crowe years.They are not about social justice because then they would owe whites reperations for all the crimes committed just because they hate or are jealous and dishonest about themselves.ACORN is an example of blatent yet somehow acceptable racism.I would rather judge a man by his character than his color,but they seem to want to be a group all about color and lies about history.All to create division in order to bring in socialism,the mediocrity I suppose they need since affirmative action wasn’t enough.When the white people move out the neighborhood goes to hell.How is that whitey’s fault?Should he have stayed to take care of them?When blacks get money they move into white neighborhoods to be next to whitey.Its ridiculous,just live with the people you like and trust.Lets all shine our true colors for a day or two and see what happens.
