But this racist crap in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is too much.
Everybody recognizes that most homicides in town are black-on-black crime. But some also believe the frustrating inability to get things under control is linked to the refusal of African-American residents living in violent neighborhoods to help cops put the bad guys behind bars.
Apparently Those people are responsible for all the crime. I suppose our blatantly racist culture with its' glorification of violence and drug culture has nothing to do with it. Most of that racist rap music is bought by white people and sold by Uncle Toms.
Where is the analysis about the uneven application of the drug laws? Despite the fact that the rate of drug use does not differ based on race, people of color are over-represented in the jails. The drug laws support a corrupt system that benefits the pharmaceutical industry and the prison-industrial complex at the expense of black and poor communities.
This whole article misses the entire point and it misses out on why the "Stop Snitching" movement is so popular. The police and our criminal justice system are corrupt from top-to-bottom. Rape is under-reported and under-prosecuted and now the media is clearly on the side of rapists, thanks to the NiFong fallout of the good-ole-boys-will-be-boys case. Of course a group full of boys that pay a black prostitute to strip are completely innocent darlings. The justice system goes after drug users and potheads, not dangerous criminals. The police would way rather bust a pot grow-op than deal with the global scourge of domestic violence. They are part of the problem.
Do you think I would report a fellow pot-smoker for the crime of smoking the wrong plants? Of course not. Would I report a violent criminal? (For all the good that might do?) Yes I would.
Even those people are capable of understanding the difference between a violent crime and a harmless act that the government considers a crime. Read the rest of the article and be prepared to experience your head exploding thanks to the reckless promotion of dangerous, hackneyed stereotypes.
