Welcome to our community

It's funny how a bunch of people who aren't black (a few who just don't like black people for being black) come in here to discuss these issues.

Then when someone black gives their perspective he's whitesplained to instead of listened to.

Weird....
 
I lived in Chicago for 25 years. The city is racially divided, north and south. It's one of the most racially divided cities I've ever seen, in general. There are entire neighborhoods for the various ethnicities: greek, italian, etc.

There was a mass migration of blacks to Chicago in the 50's and 60's. During that time, whites resented it and did all sorts of things to their new neighbors. From where toxic waste dumps were zoned to denial of services to diversion of education funding from the schools that black kids attended. The north side was rich, the south side not so much. Many of the whites who lived in the south side moved away, taking their wealth with them.

They built "projects" to house blacks, then built freeways around them as a sort of prison wall. It was difficult to have any economic success in those conditions. The amount of crime was talked up to scare people from going into those neighborhoods.

Add in that the police have brutalized young black men over the decades and have harassed the people in their neighborhoods, and you've got a lot of not so happy people. Understandably.

When the city ran its first black mayor (as a democrat), 2/3 of the democrats voted against him in the primaries (he won in a 3 way race with a plurality of about 1/3), and then about 1/2 of them voted against him in the general. Democrats typically win the mayoral race there with 70% or more of the vote.

I moved away a year after that. About that time, the news on WGN was all about house fires and community events. A year later, the news on WGN was all about body bags.

I don't claim to know everything, but I do know you really need to treat people as human beings.
My grandpa grew up in Chicago during this time. Was jumped by two black kids for being white. Was very racially divided from the stories he tells
 
The cartoon is more whitesplaining to black people about what we "need to focus on instead since it's a bigger problem".
White folk talk about black on black crime and then throw out percentages of us murdering our "own kind" at a 93% clip.
All the while never mentioning the fact that whites kill their own at an 84% clip with no mention of "white on white" crime.

It's cartoons like this and made up constructs like "black on black" crime that separate us instead of bringing us together.
Nobody brings it up because you have to look at statistics. White people make up 70 percent of this country. Black people make up 13 percent. Given those percentages it should be alarming that black on black crime is that insane statistics wise and shouldn't be so surprising on the other side because there are a lot more white people.

Bullshit. You're new to the forum. It's the only thing brought up by those who are defending the murders committed by police. You weren't here for that argument.

You can't see the forest for the trees....

You have to understand the reason for those numbers. The country is still LARGELY segregated. The reason for the 93% and 94% numbers is simply due to proximity.

But people will use those numbers as a cudgel to whitesplain what we need to do to fix our communities. The numbers show their assertions fly in the face of reality.

I'm pretty positive nobody on this forum dislikes black people. And you aren't "whitesplained" to. I give you real statistics that make sense. Black on black crime is a real problem in this country. I have no issue with black people I just think it's hypocritical the many that get upset over a few cop killings a year can't get upset over the few that happen each weekend in just one part of America. Chicago. So do black lives really matter to this organization? I never see it talked about, people choose to ignore it. You need to learn that not every white personal talking to you is "whitesplaining", that's a cop out. Imagine every time you replied to me about white people I said it was "blacksplaining". You would claim racist on that. I'm just talking people in general, there seems to be an issue with minorities and crime across the globe. Not saying white people dont kill each other because that definitely happens but when you look at pure numbers, it's really high for minorities especially given how many make up the country. Nothing racist about that. I'm not saying all black people or all Mexicans. I'm talking specific groups in specific sections of the states.
 
Bullshit. You're new to the forum. It's the only thing brought up by those who are defending the murders committed by police. You weren't here for that argument.
I'm not new to the forum. Who is defending any murders by police,? the whole thread is about Chicago basically, has nothing to do with police

You have no clue.

You are new to the forum. And no you didn't see the thread.

I'm not saying what those communities need to do. I have no advice on that. It's a lost cause. They murder each other in those communities and don't care. Nobody else cares. You would rather deflect the issue and play victim and claim whitesplaining than address it yourself. Giving excuses for it that aren't even legit. In your eyes it's always the white dudes fault. Unless they have an opinion you love.

holy fuck sly so okay say it is getting better even by the slightest margin, you are still ignoring the fact it's still high and 9 died over the weekend. But hey its getting slowly better so fuck the 9 people

So basically fuck the white people that get killed by white people?
 
You have no clue.
And you have no response to facts when given to you ever. You respond with "you have no clue" yet you can't explain anything to me on these topics. That's your only response to everything I typed there? Interesting. It's like you expect because you're black all these people on here to just be like yeah you're right dviss, you're black you know. Just because you're black doesn't mean you just know everything about black people. I'm white and I couldn't tell you what the fuck is up with those neo nazis.

No, that's covered all the time, anytime that happens. 13 percent of blacks make up this country. 70 percent of whites. Look at the numbers from there. It should be alarming to the nation as a whole that the black on black crime numbers are so high. Crime I see gonna happen. There are fucked up people everywhere of all races. The issue is there seems to be this bloating number among the minorities when it comes to crime, murder. Now if you wanna make up the excuse that it's because these are poor neighborhoods or it's just white people, go ahead and be ignorant about it. It would be a typical Portland answer anyway. I'm just surprised black lives matter doesnt wanna talk about it. They ignore issues within their own communities because it doesn't fit their agenda that blacks are these target of whites which has no truth to it at all. It's dangerous rhetoric that continues to get put on national media to further racially divide the country
 
Exactly. You never hear SHIT about "white on white crime" when it's at an 84% clip.

Damn you white folk need to fix your neighborhoods....
70 percent white. 13 percent black. Never heard of an all white neighborhood I was scared of visiting. However I could introduce you to parts of Gresham filled with mexican gangs I'm not going to. Or we could take a trip to parts of the state filled with black on black crime. You decide.
 
Here's just one of the threads:

http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/police-kill-more-whites-than-blacks.283647/

And yes there has been plenty of whitesplaining to me about what to do to cut into that 93% number. The fact is that number is indicative of proximity and that's it..
Okay link me something that has nothing to do with Chicago, the topic we are actually on. Will you stop with the whitesplaining thing, you actually start to sound racist. However it's okay on this forum because the left...

Anyways I don't know if that number is true, haven't done my research enough on it but I know white people also get killed by cops, I just think it's higher percentage if you're black or some shit. But I mean yeah surprise white people get killed by cops too. You were too busy playing victim to even realize, black people aren't hunted like you thought
 
dude your swastika tattoo is showing a little bit.
So now I'm a nazi for saying facts here? Hmmm okay I see this forum has gone to shit when it comes to the people that make it up. Great. So you couldn't argue that information but rather you just make a joke that I'm a nazi? Great, okay I'm glad you're an informed individual

You're basically saying you are scared of non-white people. I call em as I see em. I didn't say your whole tattoo was showing, just like maybe 25% of it.
 
By the way there are some very fine people who have swastika tattoos, or so I have heard.

When did I say I'm not scared of white people? I said I wouldn't go in these areas. I live in gresham, you don't think I know what I'm talking about? Lol. Not scared but yeah I won't go near sketchy looking people at all regardless of race. You're trying to shut down this conversation by just saying I'm a nazi but that shows more about you than me, you have no real argument here, that's all you got. Pretty sad

No, the topic is the made up construct of black on black crime.

Let's see... you said you have never been to an all-white neighborhood where you felt scared, you won't go to areas in Gresham because there are Mexican gangs there and you won't go to areas where there is black on black crime. What impression was I supposed to form in response to that?
 
No, the topic is the made up construct of black on black crime.
Okay so black on black crime is just made up and a construct now. Just like gender right? Lol damn

I never said that I haven't been to an all white neighborhood where I felt scared. I have been around white people that sketched me the fuck out and obviously didn't wanna be around. Yeah why the fuck would I go to these areas in gresham if the crime is high? That's real smart, go to areas where people get robbed and shot. You speak a tough game but you wouldn't even step foot in gresham. You aren't even making points, you're trying to say I'm racist because I won't go into bad neighborhoods, what the fuck kind of shitty argument is that? And because I won't step foot in a bad neighborhood voluntarily, I'm a nazi. Keep trying...
 
Let me quote you and see if you can read it.

70 percent white. 13 percent black. Never heard of an all white neighborhood I was scared of visiting. However I could introduce you to parts of Gresham filled with mexican gangs I'm not going to. Or we could take a trip to parts of the state filled with black on black crime. You decide.

Again, what was the impression I was supposed to form in response to this post?

Yes. Black on black crime is a made up construct. Who invented the term? White people.

Just like you were asked before:

Do you not give a shit about white murders? Because 84% of those are done by whites.

And why is there no discussion of white on white crime? Why does this term not exist?
 
Let me quote you and see if you can read it.



Again, what was the impression I was supposed to form in response to this post?

It's just a clueless take.

Cippy, there are some white neighborhoods I CERTAINLY wouldn't visit... Say uh Coeur d'alene Idaho?
 
Also @Cippy91 I'm not saying you are a nazi or even a racist. I don't know you at all. But, that particular post came across like something a nazi would say. That's all I meant by my tattoo comment.
