Last year, among the nation's 10 largest cities, Philadelphia had the highest murder rate with 406 victims. This year could easily top last year's with 240 murders so far.
Other cities such as Baltimore, Detroit and Washington, D.C., with large black populations, experience the nation's highest rates of murder and violent crime. This high murder rate is, and has been, predominantly a black problem.
According to Bureau of Justice statistics, between 1976 and 2005, blacks, while 13 percent of the population, committed over 52 percent of the nation's homicides and were 46 percent of the homicide victims. Ninety-four percent of black homicide victims had a black person as their murderer.
Blacks are not only the major victims of homicide; blacks suffer high rates of all categories of serious violent crime, and another black is most often the perpetrator.
Liberals and their political allies say the problem is the easy accessibility of guns and greater gun control is the solution. That has to be nonsense. Guns do not commit crimes; people do.
Up through 1979, the FBI reported homicide arrests sorted by racial breakdowns that included ***anese. Between 1976 and 1978, 21 of 48,695 arrests for murder and non-negligent manslaughter were ***anese-Americans. That translates to an annual murder rate of 1 per 100,000 of the ***anese-American population. Would anyone advance the argument that the reason why homicide is virtually nonexistent among ***anese-Americans is because they can't find guns?
The high victimization rate experienced by the overwhelmingly law-abiding black community is mostly the result of predators not having to pay a heavy enough price for their behavior. They benefit from all kinds of asinine excuses, such as poverty, racial discrimination and few employment opportunities.
During the 1940s and '50s, I grew up in North Philadelphia where many of today's murders occur. It was a time when blacks were much poorer, there was far more racial discrimination, and fewer employment opportunities and other opportunities for upward socioeconomic mobility were available. There was nowhere near the level of crime and wanton destruction that exists today. Behavior accepted today wasn't accepted then by either black adults or policemen.
Police authorities often know who are the local criminals and drug lords and where crack houses are located; however, various legal technicalities hamper their ability to make arrests and raids. Law-abiding citizens are often afraid to assist police or testify against criminals for fear of retaliation that can include murder. The level of criminal activity not only puts residents in physical jeopardy but represents a heavy tax on people least able to bear it. That heavy tax includes higher prices for goods and services and fewer shopping opportunities because supermarkets and other large retailers are reluctant to bear the costs of doing business in high-crime areas.
So here's the question: Should black people accept government's dereliction of its first basic function, that of providing protection? My answer is no. One of our basic rights is the right to defend oneself against predators. If the government can't or won't protect people, people have a right to protect themselves.
You say, "Hey, Williams, you're not talking about vigilantism, are you?" Yes, I am. Webster's Dictionary defines vigilantism as: a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate.
Example: A number of years ago, Black Muslims began to patrol Mayfair, a drug-infested, gang-ridden Washington, D.C., housing project. The gangs and drug lords left, probably because the Black Muslims didn't feel obliged to issue Miranda warnings. Black men should set up neighborhood patrols, armed if necessary, and if politicians and police don't like it, they should do their jobs. No one should have to live in daily fear for their lives and safety.

RE: Don't Blame The Whites
Good post Reb and the author of your quote completely caught me off guard. I blame the whites for slavery. I blame the blacks for keeping it going. We all have to get past it........but I still won't vote for Obama.

Have you ever heard the saying Love is color blind? Why is that saying isso easily accepted but people have a hard time excepting that hate is color blind too. I don't blame whites I blame humans and their greed for money and power and their ignorance in using other people to obtain their greedy desires. We are all made of the same stuff, we have a brain, and a heart lungs, to breathe.We all have the same major organs thatgive us life, and we all shedthe same color blood. On the inside we are all the same.I have seen beauty and grace in all colors and have also seen ugliness and malice in all colors. When are peoplegonna quit feeding into the color of ones skin lie. A human is a human, and a pig is a pig, the same as a cat is a cat. We don't just have this problem in America hate is everywhere, and it is not just the color of skin, it is hair and the shape of your nose and eyes, your height, your weight, the religion you believe in.
If you love yourself it will be easier to love others. Love spreads the seeds of love and hate spreads the seed of hate. All make the choice of which they will sow.
Wrong Wrong Wrong....where is your source for this hockey crap?
Bill Cosby said some of that, but not all of it...this document has been severly altered...

From Cosby's mouth addressing the NAACP;
[size=2 j1r8c="0" zo5ev="0"]Ladies and gentlemen, listen to these people. They are showing you what"™s wrong. People putting their clothes on backwards. Isn"™t that a sign of something going on wrong?Are you not paying attention? People with their hat on backwards, pants down around the crack. Isn"™t that a sign of something or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn"™t it a sign of something when she"™s got her dress all the way up to the crack -- and got all kinds of needles and things going through her body. What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don"™t know a damned thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap and all of them are in jail. (When we give these kinds names to our children, we give them the strength and inspiration in the meaning of those names. What"™s the point of giving them strong names if there is not parenting and values backing it up).[/size]
[size=2 j1r8c="0" zo5ev="0"]Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person"™s problem. We"™ve got to take the neighborhood back. We"™ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It"™s right around the corner. It"™s standing on the corner. It can"™t speak English. It doesn"™t want to speak English. I can"™t even talk the way these people talk. "śWhy you ain"™t where you is go, ra."ť I don"™t know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it"™s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can"™t land a plane with, "śWhy you ain"™t"¦"ť You can"™t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they"™re moving ahead on this. Well, they know they"™re not; they"™re just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you"™re just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out.[/size]
Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn"™t hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don"™t know that today.
[size=2 j1r8c="0" zo5ev="0"]I"™m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don"™t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don"™t you know where he is? And why doesn"™t the father show up to talk to this boy?[/size]
[size=2 j1r8c="0" zo5ev="0"]The church is only open on Sunday. And you can"™t keep asking Jesus to ask doing things for you. You can"™t keep asking that God will find a way. God is tired of you . God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That"™s where God was because these people were doing something. And God said, "śI"™m going to find a way."ť I wasn"™t there when God said it -- I"™m making this up. But it sounds like what God would do.[/size]
50 percent drop out rate, I"™m telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse? I want somebody to love me. And as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them. All this child knows is "śgimme, gimme, gimme."ť These people want to buy the friendship of a child, and the child couldn"™t care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we"™ve done, we still fear our parents. And these people are not parenting. They"™re buying things for the kid -- $500 sneakers -- for what? They won"™t buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics[/i].
