Quote:It (police brutality) has nothing to do with race.  That's part of the point.

 

The other part of the point that Ray Lewis was making in his video is that it's time for blacks to stop blaming other people for their plight.

 

If you really want true and honest dialog regarding the issue, then do so openly and honestly.

 

What do you honestly think about the number of shootings and killings in Chicago that are black-on-black?  Is it the white man's fault?  Is it the fault of police?

 

Police brutality has nothing to do with race?

 

Do you realize going back to the Civil Rights Era, police sic dogs on minorities because of their race. 

 

Fast forward to now, there is a major police corruption scandal brewing with the NYPD

For whatever reason, you keep trying to equate Police brutality to Black on black crime which are 2 seperate issues. Do you want black people to be more vocal against crimes in our own communities and completely ignore police brutality and racial profiling?

 

Black on black crime is a issue that the black community must take responsibility for. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system continues to be a breeding ground and does not rehabilitate individuals, let alone reduce the recidivism rate of black males which is a systematic issue, and breakdown.

 

You can point the finger and say black people should behave better. ya ya ya, but the reality is African Americans have historically been at the bottom when it comes to earned income, and quality education, while being higher when it comes to welfare and poverty.
