(ThyBlackMan.com) It is a sad day when a white police officer kills a “black” man. It is awful when a Hispanic sociopath kills a young black teenager. It is a tragedy when a mentally unstable African American woman mysteriously dies in a jail cell. But it is far worse when we do it to ourselves, to each other, to members of our own community. Yet when there is black on black crime, where are the protests, the riots, the marches or the rallies? We rally for Sandra Bland but not when a black man recently killed his ex-wife, her husband and all 6 children. Black people riot for Michael Brown and Eric Garner, march for Samuel Dubose or protest for Trayvon Martin – but not for the dozens of victims who die in Chicago every month. We need to face the facts, all of them – not just the ones that “blame the white man”, though he has lately been at fault. Do we expect less of ourselves and our own kind than we do of other races or ethnic groups?
We need to look in the mirror and examine what we expect of our own people. We tolerate our daughters dressing like whores, our sons saggin (niggas spelled backwards) like convict homosexuals, trashy women like Trikki Mirage, rap music that degrades and objectifies our women, jello pudding eating rapists, confused but rich talk show hosts with no spiritual foundation, pastors who fly around in jets and fleece the flock instead of feeding the sheep, our politicians who only pretend to help us, our adults clouding their minds with cheap street weed and our people defend it all – the right to degrade, divide and annihilate ourselves with racist-programmed, self-imposed genocide. Then we wonder why we are targeted, oppressed and ostracized as a people. WAKE UP!
Government statistics from 1980 to 2008 show that the “white man” is not our problem. During that period, 93% of crimes
It has further been reported that The 2013 FBI Uniform Crime Report which receives crime data from all law enforcement agencies around the country showed the following: 83% of white victims were killed by white offenders and 90% of black victims were killed by black offenders. Only 14% of white victims were killed by black offenders and only 7.6% of black victims were killed by white offenders. The media, the racists (black and white) and the powers that be would find it hard to push towards a race war if these facts were widely known.
In July of 2015, 13 people were shot in Chicago – all in one week. In August of 2015, 18 people were shot between a Friday and a Sunday night. Where are our protests, marches, rallies and riots for those who lost their lives at the hands of someone the same color as they were?
Hundreds of years ago white racists and slave owners led the way in teaching Africans how to mistreat each other. But today we are teaching them how to see us, how to treat us, what they can get away with and how to destroy us. African Americans (not all) are leading the way to the destruction of the African American dollar, the African American family, the roles of our men, the roles of our women and the likelihood of our future. And instead of our scholars writing about this, speaking about this and seeking to reverse the cycle towards annihilation, they are too busy being bought off by corporate jobs, marching “against the white man” and quieting down to teach in some university classroom. Wake up people. Real activism stands against the core of real problems. We cannot afford to fall for diversions and distractions any longer. And if your enemy can get you to destroy yourself, you must blame yourself as much as you blame your enemy. WE MUST TURN TO EACH OTHER – NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER ANY LONGER!
A 2011 Bureau of Justice Statistics report found the black victimization rate (27.8 per 100,000) was six times higher than the white victimization rate (4.5 per 100,000). The black offending rate (34.4 per 100,000) was almost eight times higher than whites (4.5 per 100,000). One could argue that those who set up the economic, financial and political systems of this country have created the conditions for those very statistics to occur. However, nobody makes our people break into a house, rape a woman, rob a bank or pull a trigger. The old cliche’ which states “the devil made me do it” is simply an outdated way of walking in denial. Our people must look in the mirror of personal accountability or we will not survive.
So now what are you going to do? Criticize this article or change our community from within? We are our own solution. And if black lives do indeed matter, they must matter to our people first and foremost. Not only when someone of a different color takes one, but even more so when we stop our people from taking the lives of our men, women and children. Only when we assign the ultimate value to black lives will others be forced to assign the same value. Until then, why should they if we won’t?

Comply to harassment and riot for black on black Crime ..ok
jDean,
I have read several of Marque Anthony's articles and every one of the 4 I have read offers practical solutions - not just comply. Your approach will NOT work any more than Sandra's did. And I agree with all those others who commented about you, but your anger and immaturity as well as wanting to take on the world with a stick caused you NOT TO HEAR what the author was even saying.
jDean you are the one with the problem and I do not see Marque Anthony as bad at all. If you would sop assuming the points he is making and actually READ, you would see that I just said the same things he has been saying all along. Be careful stereotyping people and putting them in a box. You don't want to be put in a box, do you? Then don't do it to others.
What you did was get offended at his points then misstated them and ran with it. I am saying the same thing. READ
Robert you are not as bad as Marque Anthony. I did not mean to insult your responses. Just the ones on here hating. You seem like you have genuine love for your people and knowledge of self. Robert intellectuals like you use wisdom as a synonym for pacifism and docile, weak solutions like COMPLY as way out of fighting for our rights as humans in this country. We need to fight to change these bogus laws that get us killed " under the rule of the Law". We need to vote out all these politicians and clergymen who dont fight for us. We also need to stop being blind to the fact that this race war has started. We are the only ones that don't know yet. Wisdom will get you on a Tombstone because we are getting killed unarmed at an alarming rate. So my wisdom would say lets not be fooled by this beast and have equal and fair rights by any means neccesary, but also making plans for economic liberation and growth to make way for a Black Wall Street seperation as well. Along with that we need to use our Second Amendment rights to put a fear in these police and militias that we will fight back. No anger. Just logic. Ill use my anger for when that cracka comes in my house to put bullets in his ass. Not on fake journalists and teachers on thyblackman.com
Are a some of you people daft?
Understand human/animal nature. Inter-fighting in a society/clan is generally tolerated while outside oppression isn't. The Vikings are seen as "cool" despite the fact they killed many more Europeans then the Moors ever could/would. Africans are quick to blame the White man but in the late 20th/21st century are COMPLETELY complicit and without them many wars/massacres would be avoided in the homeland. We are told the horror of Europeans against the world but Europe (in the past (YugoSlavia, Central Europe)and increasingly in the now/future, (Ukraine, Greece) devours its own etc Muslims vs Jews, and Jews vs Muslims bashing etc
This is human nature, only a major disaster coupled with a leader, which we never had in the 21st century will be able to undo this.
Most of us are geared to whatever the mainstream media,(CNN, MSNBC) spouts.
Also white on black crime is actually rare compared to black on black crime. Thats why the media uses it..capitalism after all runs on scarcity. Society=capitalism, how do we protest somthing that is drowned out by the media AND is so prevalent like water/integrated in our greater culture. You (or more specifically mainstream people) can't and even if you do it wouldn't be as fun/(perceived) effective.
Also do stop with this 'annihilation of our race' nonsense. I understand you represent one of the MANY man-made religions claiming the "end of our world" every day since the 3rd century but leave that out of our racial discussions i.e (annihilation of Aferican-Americans) please the "doom" mentality tiring
Chill out people the dollar/America will collapse soon (as all empires do) and we can have the revolution you all desperately crave for. The next thirty years is going to feel like 300. Everything you ever have known will be next to irrelevant.
Now your small mind resorts to insults? Sad, very sad. Wise people listen to and recognize wisdom. it is not about following anybody, it is about solutions that allow for survival so we can be around to fight and win. You are truly a fool if you plan to take on the police to prove a point and flaunt your out of control ego. They will end up putting that on your tombstone if you do not change your funky attitude because like Sandra, you will bring that bull at the wrong time, to the wrong person. Her way did not work and yours will not either.
How do you know the author of the article even chose the pic in this article? Did you ask or just assume? Your ignorance and anger are blinding your judgment. And I suggest you get some wisdom before you try the foolishness you espouse in your comments
I'm a better teacher than all you chumps, I don't entertain clowns. There is no talking to brainwashed coons. If you follow gay Marque Anthony. You are a clown too This who we have teaching the youth. WOW
jDean,
Compliance is not admitting anything. Where did you get that idea from? Did you make it up? Those of us who have some sense are not scared to fight. We just use wisdom to fight at the right time, at the right place and in the right way so we have a greater chance of accomplishing our goals.
That is what all of these people are trying to tell you but you would rather attack them instead of listening. You show no wisdom.
To jDean,
I don't hear crickets. What I hear are intelligent, wise, reasonable and professional people seeing you for what you are - lost and confused with anger issues and misguided frustrations.
Ironically, your behavior exemplifies the exact programming of a slave - attack the truth, walk in denial, distort what reasonable people see and say, refuse to look in the mirror and lash out with anger and ignorance.
This article is full of verifiable facts, whether you like tem or not.
