Thank you, Mr. Weems! Excellent article! I’m so glad I found your newsletter. Keep up the good work. We need your voice! I am going to share your writings!
Mr. Weems, Love your writing. I had the priviledge of hearing Malcolm X speak in Chicago. In Jew town I was a girl but you could not escape the power and determination in his words. He was also kind and would smile at children of color.
Whenever men of color or leaders start to talk about changing the economic base of poor people they end up dead? King, Malcolm, Panthers when the purse strings are threatened some one is sure to die.
Things seem to have changed in that now we know about the desparity, but this is an opportunity to plan a change. The anticipattion of the powers that be is that we will just talk, not do anything and just have an outburst of anger and frustration with each other.
Thanks for commenting, but what you're doing here is repeating a racist "Blacks are more violent" trope popular with a lot of conservatives. Obviously, all murder is abhorrent, but there is little difference between the Black-on-Black murder rate vs. the white-on-white murder rate. In 2018, there was an just an 8% difference between the two, according to FBI records. Bottom line: the whole "Black on Black murder" narrative really is not a thing. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/29/fact-check-meme-shows-incorrect-homicide-stats-race/5739522002/
Black on Black murder is not a thing unless you are the one dead. I do not care about white crime since I am Black. I looked for the you been had, you been took etc was because I feel that Joe (The Carpetbagger) Biden is guilty of the phrases used in that part of the MX speech. I in no way said that Blacks are more violent. Look at the man in the mirror and be not so judgement.

at the rate we are killing each other all the white man has to do is wait for the last one standing and one bullet will be the final solution
George,
