listen, intraracial violence (Black on Black crime) is REAL but its not a unique phenomenon to Black people as crime is pretty proportionate across racial lines. (Blacks kill Blacks, whites kill whites, asians kill asians etc) if we are going to discuss community violence we cant do it in a total vaccum
thats why i have an issue with
@DOS_patos and
@Kzzl take because it reduces very complex issues to: “Niggas have a racthet ghetto mindset and just want to steal”
and /or “Black folks move around white people to be safe”
this notion only play into the myth of Black criminality: this idea we have a “proclivity” for crime which conveniently excludes, environmental, and socio-economic factors.
when you dont unpack what perpetuates crime you only keep Black folks funneled in and out of prisons/jail and/or shot dead by the state both in thought and theory
furthermore, i would like to reduce crime in historically looted areas (i am not condoning murder, rape, or drug dealing) but im also aware that crime and violence arent just happenstance.
