True or False:
The police is the number one

The answer is overwhelmingly false. But given the number of protests aimed at the police, you would think the number of Blacks killed by the police was the greatest threat Blacks faced. But you would be wrong. It’s not even close. For every black person killed by the police, we’re killing over 1000 fellow Blacks.
It’s not that rogue cops are not a threat, it’s just that the bigger threat is coming from other Blacks. What we’re doing to each other is serious and needs to be dealt with instead of treating it the way some people treat incest in a family. Hush, hush.
What we’re doing to each other is not a secret, and it’s not airing dirty laundry to mention it. The whole world knows what we’re doing to each other.
Every day, Blacks are killing each in record numbers. Several weekends this year, Chicago registered over 31 shootings, and you see the same thing in other cities. We’re killing and attempting to kill each other over:
• Sneakers.
• Clothing.
• Someone looked at someone else the “wrong” way.
• Drug deals gone wrong.
• During carjackings.
• Boyfriends killing their girlfriends and setting their bodies on fire.
• Gang members deliberately killing children to get even with a parent.
• Fathers killing their children to escape child support
• Women killed after being raped,
• and it goes on and on.
So, what rogue cops are doing is terrible and we need to protest it. But should we also protest the greatest threat to black lives too, black –on-black killings?
Blacks who see what we’re doing to each and ignore it, or pretend not to see it, are a new type of Uncle Tom. They see their people self-destructing, and they keep quiet because it’s not politically correct to do so. They protest police shootings because that is politically correct, but it’s also hypocritical.
