This type of crime is where all the energy should go Al Sharpton.
Fix the ghetto. The jury spoke, move on.if this was a black killing a white, nothing would be said, let alone get all the way to the president cause he's half black. No business there. Get your priorities right.
You won't hear about this cuz frankly no one really cares. Unless they can turn it into a racial issue. Sad that blacks are too stupid to see the facts.
Anonymous! I can't believe you would have the audacity to make such a bigoted remark:"...blacks are too stupid to see the facts." What if a black man said the same thing about whites? "Too bad the whites are so dumb to understand the facts."
A bit judgmental, aren't you? (But then I just judged you)
No I don't think it's racist cuz I'm black and I got done dumbass black friends AND family..blacks are dying at an enormous rate every damn day and hardly anyone says a damn thing about that. But let a whit man kill a black dude and everybody wants to march. They should be marching and throwing eggs at Rahm Emmanuel every DAY!!!
I was just thinking the same. You would think Al, the Panthers, the union would be all up in arms trying to fix Chicago and every area like this. Where are they????? Worry more how they look and sound on tv and in the paper. They need to go.......
The bigger mystery to me is why the American public as a whole does not recognize this issue for what it really is, and that is just a symptom of a society built on the backs of the voiceless and powerless (NOT just blacks, by the way, but the black community is certainly close to the bottom of the pile - the only ones in possibly a worse place are Native Peoples on reservations).
Personally I think the apparent senselessness of black on black violence has to do with the unrelenting and horrific pressure on black communities due to the fallout of the drug war and the arrest and incarceration blitz which (intentionally, on the part of the white power structure) goes hand in hand with that. Profiling and stop and frisk; mandatory sentencing - with MUCH more aggressive and stringent sentences for blacks and Hispanics; stripping of all sorts of rights of cons and ex-cons including voting rights and many government services including housing; extreme lack of employment opportunity due to intense bias against anyone with a criminal record (no matter what the original offense) - a bias which is encoded into many regulations regarding employment law; a dearth of information and representation regarding rights - and lack of decent legal representation in general where black communities are concerned; etc, etc.... READ "The New Jim Crow" and you will get some sense of what black communities and individuals are up against, particularly, or just look around at the myriad ways that those with power in this nation of ours rig the system at every level to further marginalize and reduce the influence of people of color as well as those who are trying to fight for all the voiceless and powerless in this nation, in our society. That the top one percent of people in this 'great' nation of ours have more wealth than the bottom SEVENTY PERCENT - and do everything they can to make their slice even greater - is an abomination and should be a wake-up call to every patriotic American.
Wow now that was an intelligent post that actually spells out the situation in a nutshell..
You are exactly right. And a perfect example is how the black panthers can organize enough to intimidate voters at a voting station and threaten George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin but their voice is ABSENT when it comes to speaking out against violence in Chicago. Why is that??? Because race baiting is all any if them care about. They could care less about the black community. They all have their own agenda.
