black on black murder [View all]



What republicans are really saying, aside from "look over here", is that black people are more violent than white people, that black people are animals.

Guiliani is a stunning example of this.

<snip>

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the controversy surrounding the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, does not exemplify a larger national problem.

"93 percent of blacks are killed by other blacks," Giuliani said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We're talking about the exception here."

"What about the poor black child that is killed by the other black child? Why aren't you protesting that?"

<snip>

"White police officers wouldn't be there if you (speaking to Dyson) weren't killing each other 75% of the time."
