(21,506 posts)The post I was responding to originally wasn't interested in any of that either.
I said in those posts that there were a lot of factors involved in it. That does not negate the fact that it exists. I am not blaming anyone, there are myriad factors contributing to it. All I am saying is the idea of describing it accurately as black on black crime as some sort of racial slur that can never be said is nonsense.
Whether or not you like it those numbers do mean something. You can describe it any way you like but it is undeniable and needs to be addressed. The people in Chapel hill recognized it and did something about it I applaud them for that. I would think they have proven that the violence is not necessary in spite of all the underlying factors that contribute to it.
