does anyone agree with the term black on black crime?

Question

when you really look at it whose really going to drive some where else to kill a different race?i mean your going to rob the closest person to you!so next time when you need to rob or do harm to someone lets drive miles to commit the crime.to me crime is crime no matter the race

Answer 1

To me there are racist connotations when this term is used - no one ever reports on 'white on white' crime for example. Or 'Asian on Asian' crime.

It focuses attention on skin colour rather than the crime.

Answer 2

There was a time when black people would not commit a crime against another black person. It was an unusual circumstance. There are statistics and charts created with many different combinations of breaking down who is doing what to whom and where. I don't think the color of the person committing the crime is the problem, the crime is the problem.

Answer 3

It is kind of interesting considering that for so many years people believed that any crime that was done to anyone of a different color was a hate crime and people would have a fit or some riot. Black on black crime was an old term by news media to keep riots down. I am saddened that so many have to resort to drug activity to stay alive. What's criminal is that they don't have as much opportunity as an illegal in this country does. Don't get me started.

The real issue is black on everyone crime. Although blacks victimize each other more than anyone else, for the convenience issue you mention, they also are the main victimizers of everyone else. A white, mexican or asian victim of crime is most likely victimized by a black person....according to statistics.

That article supplies statistics that are very disturbing and directly contradict what most people [who have little contact with blacks] think about the nature of crime and who does it.

To be blunt, crime in the US is almost solely an issue of blacks and illegal aliens. Not all crime, mind you, just most crime, especially violent crime.

This should raise issues for the discretionary use of law enforcement funds and severe restrictions on immigration and draconian border patrol to the south.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. It's not PC. We all suffer for it.

Answer 5

It's another media-coined phrase to make us all look to someone else to blame and for no one to take responsibility. I find it sad that any one feels the need to turn to crime regardless of their race, religion, faith, creed, political correctness or in my case no political correctness. The only way I perceive a reality check and change is to make our laws mean something as opposed to the rhetoric of nonsense they now stand for with all their loopholes. If stealing is stealing and stealing is a crime, does it really matter if they were stealing with out a weapon, with a knife, or with a gun, or if they had to break something to get into my home or just walked into my home - they were stealing period. The consequence for stealing should be ___________. It is when we began a process of classification and degrees of this and that, we began to see phrases such as "black on black" crime rates, hate crimes - I'm sorry, if you commit a crime - isn't there a basis of hate in it period?

You've asked a very good, honest, and unusually intelligent question, I hope I have given you and equally resultant answer.

Answer 6

That's all "black on black crime " means. Many whites (of which I am NOT proud to say, I AM one) were so afraid of Black people that they moved to suburban areas to be "safe" from crime. That, of course, left many Black people living in close proximity to9 one another. And, as you say, when a criminal decides to commit an act of crime, he usually does so close to home: thus, Black on Black crime". (Many writers pointed this out for various reasons: to say, "See all you scaredy white folks, you are NOT the only target of Black criminals", or to say, "Hey! Black folks, let's not hurt each other", etc.

Answer 7

Your question although asked in somewhat of a confusing way, crime is crime. Race doesn't enter it. But then is all trash White? Have a good one:-)

Answer 8

Some black racist justify crime as a revenge on whites. When in reality most
of the crimes committed are on blacks. There is no justification for crime

Answer 9

Crime is defined by the law, not by race. Crime is crime.

Answer 10

yeah, its just another way to put people in categories... like you said a crime is crime regardless of the race
