Of Trayvon Martin: “Why Don’t Ya’ll Care About Black On Black Murder?” (http://allhiphop.com/2012/03/26/of-trayvon-martin-why-dont-yall-care-about-black-on-black-murder/)

This is for those folks who ask the question “Why ya’ll don’t care when Black folks kill Black folks all the time?”Black people are just as hurt and concerned and angry when Black men die from gang violence, driveby shootings and “being caught up” every single day, as we are when white racist representatives of governmental institutions (that are supposed to protect and serve us) and ordinary white racist citizens murder us in cold blood.
Black people are just as hurt and concerned and angry when Black women die from domestic violence – murdered by those who say they love us – AND gang violence AND driveby shootings AND “being caught up” as we are when white racist representatives of governmental institutions (that are supposed to protect and serve us) – like Mitrice Richardson and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department – and ordinary white racist citizens murder us in cold blood.
BUT:
1. If you are dependent on the mainstream media to tell you that, you will not see it; they have no stake in that.
2. If you are dependent on Black media, you may not see it there either; they may not have the resources to do it consistently.
3. If you are not in close proximity to Black institutions or Black people – in other words, if you don’t know the folks that know – you are OOL – Out Of Luck.

In answer to your question “Why ya’ll don’t care when Black folks kill Black folks all the time?” I say this: ”How come YOU don’t you care?” It appears that this question ONLY gets raised when Black people vent their RIGHTEOUS indignation and anger over unjustified, racist murders.
SNIP
Good questions hiding in this ... How come no one cares about the daily things, and will only go into bleeding heart mode if it makes a national headline ?
A disgusting display of society, IMO.
Yet,
How do you fix this politically ?
