Black-on-Black Crime: Who's the Real Enemy?

(ThyBlackMan.com) “If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside cannot hurt you.” –African Proverb–

Few topics of African-American bedlam have been as hush-hush and controversial as Black-on-Black Crime. We’ve discussed our hair, our bizarre dislike of each other. And thanks to Oprah, we had a national debate about color consciousness (dark skin vs. light skin). But when it comes to Blacks victimizing other Blacks, we refuse to talk about it. Why? To find the answers, indulge me for a second as I direct you to the following sentence.

Among the people in attendance, are celebrities, politicians and folks of every socio-economic status. Acknowledging the masses, the Nebraska native walks to the podium and greets his audience.  “I’m hear to talk about all  the terrible things African-Americans have endured.  You know what they are; slavery, racism, lynching, inequality, and every type of injustice you can imagine,” says Madison suppressing a groan. “And don’t forget the thousands of Black men in jail and prison,” someone yelled.

“Oh yeah,” says Madison adjusting his tie. “How can we forget the deplorable social conditions, that’s responsible for our young men, wasting their lives behind bars? Men who could have made great contributions, were it not for the fact they are Black, and at the mercy of a racist society.”

Just saw a easily believable statistic, that 80% of black homicide "victims" have criminal records.

Imagine the fiscal resources expended on the futile task of stopping those occurences?

And imagine the rhetoric tossed around, blaming white suburbanites for the blacks' living that way, after the haul of free stuff paid for by those suburbanites' taxes.
