Unless you believe that black on black crime is fundamentally different than white on white crime than it shouldn't be offensive. Because black on black crime certainly gets reported with the racial signifiers present.

Bryant.

and the article doesn't even mention his race.

And neither does the Huff Post article, or any of the comments:

As it turns out that's not what I claimed - i said that they are used.

Bryant

than it probably does belong here.

Bryant

that describes a crime where a black person kills his or her child as a "horrible example of black-on-black crime".

Oh, let me guess. You're too busy to search for an example.

It seems almost daily you hear a black on black crime from gang violence, the cribs, the bloods, drive byes.

Just recently, a 15-month-old baby was shot and killed by a stray bullet while in a second floor bedroom. Where is the collective outrage, where are the voices demanding justice? Where are the mass demonstrations, where are the carpetbaggers (definition: northerners who went South to benefit themselves by questionable means), where are the agent provocateurs (definition: a secret agent planted among the crowd to incite action that will incur punishment)? None to be found and why, there is no white person that they can point to as a symbol of hate.

this is cheap. sleazy.

a forum where the posts weren't deleted with banning.

...to speak out every time.

Violence is violence, horror is horror, monsters are monsters regardless of melanin levels.

child abuse and murder stories are not reported as "black on black" crime when the victim and perpetrators are black.

it would be equally offensive and would probably be deleted after a jury review. Leave the race baiting to Fox News, it does not belong here.

Satire can be very offensive to anyone who is unable or unwilling to grasp satire.

Voltaire wrote of dead innocents in his work of satire, The Maid of Orleans.

It IS a really horrible example.

in the MSM as "black on black" crime.

I won't hold my breath.

And big honking clue for you: You won't find one.

I agreed that it is a horrible example.

rot in hell. Otherwise I am a pretty peaceful person against the DP.

I might consider it a reasonable option. These people are horrifying and make me wish I believed there was a hell for them to suffer!! This story makes my stomach turn, but I know that looking away only increases the chance that it will happen to other children.

to read this horrible story and decide to come up with a race angle when posting it on DU?

Why DO so many people have to categorize crimes as "black" crimes?

... on the racial indicators blare out of the screen and words...

Come one people...

To me it was obvious...

I could be not seeing it right

where the story is characterized as "black on black" crime.

SICK

Oh, and I posted this story days ago without trying to score points off of a terrible tragedy.



SHAME ON YOU.

Why aren't they speaking out against this atrocity? Clearly the perpetrators grew up in fatherless homes.

It's time these people get their acts together.

editorializing.

Looks like I'm gonna have to give it a rec...

disagree with or don't like, is critical of them. but then, I actually engage in critical thinking, a skill you appear unfamiliar with.

Critical thinking? LOL.

I hate to break this to you but use or profanity does not indicate or not indicate critical thinking- as anyone able to engage in said activity, can figure out in a nanosecond or so.

Who are these, "White leaders?"

And unlike the OP it will be deleted by a Jury.

nt

As it should have been but the OP is just as offensive to me.

Not cool.
