Demario Bailey, 15, fatally shot during robbery attempt, police say suspects in custo

Re: 15 yr. old Black Teen killed during attempted robbery

What part of blacks killing blacks do you not understand and those suspects are in custody due to white police doing their job. got dat?

Black crime, white police :screwy

Where does it say that the crime was committed by blacks ?

Where does it say that there are no black policemen or women working the case ?

Stereotype much ?

Edit, Guess I am a little late with the "crime committed by blacks" part.

Now it would be great if you could link us to an article stating that whitey solved the case by himself.

Try and use some logic and analytical thinking...aka....in today's climate if the suspect was white it would be front line news. Do you know of any White People on the south side of chicago. Ever heard of a white guy killing someone for his jacket? The news media rarely reports the race of a offender.....unless he is white.
 
Re: 15 yr. old Black Teen killed during attempted robbery

I'm sorry, perhaps repudiated was overly strong word to use. He did not escape without criticism from the black community.
Cosby Defends Criticism of Black Community (washingtonpost.com)

Debate Continues as Cosby Again Criticizes Black Youths (washingtonpost.com)

Already Simmons, who make money off of the bad values typically portrayed and glorified in hip-hop, is already distancing himself from that.

This was back in 2004. It's not 10 years later. Has the block on black crime rate increased or decreased in these 10 years. I think they've increased, and the reports coming from Chicago kinda backs that up.

So, the message was heard. Yet I detect nothing was done. Again, if you have a citation or reference to contrary, do please post it, I'd more than welcome learning that we are further along in the process of improving the situation than not.


OH MY GOD!! Someone who was black criticized Cosby???? How dare they?

Obviously, this means the entire black population disagrees with him and totally does not realize that black on black violence is a problem and that black people have done nothing about the problem

As I said, there's nothing I can say to make bigots come to the realization about their bigotries. It is the nature of the bigot to blame to target of their bigotry for any problems they have. This is just one of the realizations that the bigots will have to come to on their own.

I can only lead a horse to water. I can point out how mistaken people's notions are, such as the notion that Cosby was "repudiated" by black people "from seemingly every corner", but it makes no difference. No matter how they are proven to be wrong at every turn, they will continue to insist that their bigoted notions were right, such as how black people do not realize that black on black violence is a problem, and that black people are doing nothing about it.

And of course, they will continue to insist that they're not bigots all the while they spout their ignorantly bigoted nonsense about black people such as when they tell you they think the black on black crime rate has increased, even though it has decreased steadily for many years.

They believe their bigoted notions to be true, not because of facts, but because.....CHICAGO!!!!

No the suspects are blacks....ever heard of cops killing a teenager for his clothes....apparantly they wanted his coat but he wouldnt give it up.

Can't fool me. I've seen the television and read the internet. White cops don't need a reason to kill black kids.

You claim in the above post that black on black crime has decreased.

I am calling you out: post some proof or statistics regarding that or shut up...put up or shut up.

I will not be waiting with bated breath.

Meanwhile here is some real truth. https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...EgwTH4YD4DQ&ved=0CAYQFjAA&client=internal-uds

OK, have it your way. The black community recognizes that the massive number of black male youth on black male youth murder is a problem, but they've not bothered to do anything about it, but would much rather blame their problems on 'whitey' and racism.

Happy now?
 
Re: 15 yr. old Black Teen killed during attempted robbery

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but are some folks having a problem with the condemnation of black on black murder?

And here comes apdst standing with the racist, how unexpected. :lamo

The idea that "the black community" has "not bothered" to try to prevent crime in their neighborhoods is ridiculous. Of course they have. Every single inner city out there has organizations dedicated to mentoring young black males, attempting to deter them from criminal activity. But you know what? That ****'s hard, and no, it often doesn't work.

Sorry, but if you're going to lecture people with the "real truth," you're gonna have to do better than the Washington Times.

So where these communities struggling the most? What parts of their efforts are netting the most positive results?
I think these would be the things that need greater support, things that are actually working to improve the situation, the outcomes for the youth.
How can we best support their efforts, to net the greatest results?

Any youthful life lost, especially to needless violence, is an opportunity lost.

What do these communities say to the stop and frisk policy procedure? I've heard that this reduces gun violence, as it gets more of these weapons off of the street. Is this an acceptable policy to implement?

What about no knock search warrants for suspected drug charges? (As drugs appear to be one of the challenges for these communities). Is this an acceptable policy to implement?

Where's the racism? Got a clue? Going to insult my family again, or what?

Oh yeah? Where the **** are the race hustlers, now? There's a 15 y/o boy--an actual kid this time--dead and all you people can do is scream, "raaaaaciiiiist!".

Is your entire family racist? If not, I doubt I will criticize them. They have enough to deal with already, you.

Yep, but they used to have live at home daddies that did that.

Yes, certainly the abundance of absentee fathers (whether they be in jail, dead or just not around) in many poor inner city communities has a lot to do with the problems endemic to these neighborhoods.

The Washington Times has a outstanding reputation.

What is your problem with the Washington Times? Let me guess not liberal enough?
 
Re: 15 yr. old Black Teen killed during attempted robbery

I don't really see what good they would do.

Really? Just keep on hoping that Uncle Sugar will make everything all better? Change is not going to come from outside.

It's got an "outstanding reputation" for what, exactly? It's a right-wing rag.

Who the **** is "Uncle Sugar"?

Of course change has to come from the inside; that said, I'm curious as to how protests are going to keep more fathers in the home.
 
Re: 15 yr. old Black Teen killed during attempted robbery

Why no marches and/or protests about that?

Marches are generally done to make a point or take a stand on an issue that is maybe not as well known or is volatile. I think everyone knows absentee fathers are not a good thing - who is arguing that point? Who would they be marching against?

That is one of the more annoying fallacies. The Hornets wore "I can't breathe" t-shirts last night, and some lady was saying if they want to stand up for that issue, they "have to stand up for all controversial issues". That argument sucks, and it makes no sense at all.
