Why I'm outraged over the real race war in America Comments

As America revisits old issues of race and violence amid the allegations of the Trayvon Martin case, a lot of attention is focused on the possibility of a "race war" in the US. Racist groups like the New Black Panthers and Neo Nazis have pledged their arms to battle - if one erupts. Still, America is ignoring the real race war that is ongoing in America's streets.

    "It is time to stop obsessing over a hypothetical race war and pay attention to the actual race war that is devouring African American youth."
    THANK YOU!
    Having worked primarily with urban schools, I am faced with just how often violent hatred is directed toward members of the same ethnicity. The supposed "race war" driven by media is hiding the real problem!

    This black child was at least 4 inches taller and in much better shape than the man he confronted. If you someone is violently attacking by any means: hands, rocks, sticks, knives, then you have the right to shoot them dead.

    Blacks target white victims just as much as they target black victims so black on black crime is a fallacy. Only white-on-white crime works that way.

    This was a fine article, and awareness should be raised at every level possible regarding the plague of violent crime period.There is genocide going on in South Africa right now.Christians should be at the forefront in this battle against violent crime, no matter what the race of the perpetrators are, and no matter what country they live in. I am in prayer with all the fine people everywhere that are doing whatever they can individually, to make a difference for the glory of God, to rid the world, the nation, the city, and country, of such horrible crimes, and yes, they are sins too.The peace of the Lord be with you.

    Thank you Marshall Connolly, I feel the outrage with you. Where is the outrage? Where is Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? Where is the NAACP? Answer: Nowhere! Why? Because they DO NOT GIVE A DAMN. They and the Marxist Media Complex are tools for the Marxist Democrat Party to keep the Black Vote in their back pocket. That's all that matters. The answer goes back to the Slave Trading Democrat Party of the 18th and 19th century. It goes back to the Democrats that formed the Ku Klux Klan. It goes back to Margaret Sanger, founder of the Federation of Planned Parenthood. She was a militant atheist Eugenicist who aligned herself with the Marxist Movements and "DEMOCRAT PARTY". She referred to Blacks as Human Weeds. She instituted Planned Parenthood to "Eliminate" the "Weeds from the Field". The Marxist Democrat Party is the author and engineer of the Culture of Death. Why would anyone believe they would have any problem with Black youth shooting each other in the streets?

    Black on Black murder is just as much an outrage as any murder should be. Murder violates human dignity and social doctrine, a right to life. It is past the time for Christians to stand up and be counted! How do I make a stand for moral rightness?

    Wheres the outrage? Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson don't get cash donations or camera face time unless a white person is the bad guy (Or easily made to look that way!) Where is their apology to the duke lacrosse team?
    A terrorist group on American soil puts a bounty on an American citizen and eric holder pretends it's ok, as long as the intended victem is white. Black panthar thugs with clubs stand outside a polling place, threatening voters, why are they not in prison? Is this mogadishu? The Congo? Nope, it's what's left of the good ole USA. People looking for 4 more years of royalty and power have spent our childrens future and safety chasing it. Wake up America!

    At first I was outraged over this story until it became very clear how bias and race baiting the media was in reporting this..from showing pictures of Trayvon when he was 12 instead of the 6 ft 17 yr old gangster wannabe photos of him from his facebook site to editing Zimmermans call to make it sound rascist..to describing him as a "white"hispanic in order to keep the fires of rascism burning.Also there are many questions now arising about exactly what Trayvon was doing and where he was coming from.This supposed "kid" was not the innocent all American teen that they made him out to be.It also appears that he did physically confront Zimmerman.Todays media ia so far left and bias in just about anything that it reports and does so openly and wrecklessly without concern for consequence.It is up to us not to quickly jump to conclusions simply by what we're told.Trayvons parents turning his death into a marketing event and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jacksons involvement also diminished much of the validity and sympathy in this case.Those two fools play their own people for the spotlight.Sharpton and Jackson are two of the biggest rascists there are..afterall..if you had any real concern for people and race relations should'nt you be present and outraged regardless of the persons race?Apparently to Sharpton and Jackson white people don't matter...their silence as well as this presidents is deafening when crimes against white people are committed.As for the new black panthers and the neo-nazis..it seems these are both a collection of losers who never grew up..got jobs and made something of themselves.Its so much easier to blame everybody else for your ineptness and at the same time run around in army fatigues making believe your some kind of soldiers ready to fight a battle.Go join the military and see what bloodsheds all about..then you may be more reluctant to want to kill and hurt someone out of immaturity and ignorance.

    Black on Black crimes is a serious problem. 90% of Black men arrested are unemployment.
    The crime rate among employed Black Americans is quite low. The lower the unemployment
    rate the lower the crime. rate. Every American that wants a job should be able to find one.
    If it were up to me I would take $100 billion dollars and hire 5-10 million Americans.

    Whether you are truly concern or simply wish to distract. It should be noted.
    that White on White crime occurs every day, but rarely discussed.
    Over 11,000 homicides a year in this country.
    Suicides out number homicides 3-2. Number 1 victim, White men.
    Number 1 method. Gun shot to the head. Again Rarely discussed.

    First, anyone posting stats should also post very credible source links from where the information was obtained. "Chicago"

    Secondly, I understand your comments but it would be extremely wise to gather much more CORRECT information before commenting and/or expressing your anger. Black on Black crime is addressed frequently in local black communities. You may need to fault the news media for not giving national coverage of each and every march, rally, silent protest, etc. And as sort of mentioned, how many black on black "KNOWN" murders have not been arrested, charged, and convicted? Just think if Zimmerman would have not gotten out of his vehicle to follow Martin. Would Martin still have been shot? He is said to have been a "Captain" of the neighborhood watch program. He should have known better not to follow Martin to begin with. Just think if the police would have done a better job in handling the case from the very first day.

    How much of your anger is directed at Zimmerman or the Sanford Police?

    From the Sanford Police Neighborhood watch handbook.
    www.sanfordfl.gov/investigation/docs/NWProgramHandbook.pdf

    "10. Remember always that your
    responsibility is to report crime. Do
    not take any risks to prevent a
    crime or try to make an arrest.
    The responsibility for
    apprehending criminals belongs
    to the police department."

    Thirdly, how does "OBAMA" get introduced into the It's happening much too often in issues like this. These problems existed long before anyone know Obama.
