It seems very hypocritical of any white person in america to tell Black people how to express their pain and the pain of 400 years that their ancestors suffered. You pick your battles all the time. White America does not protest the pedophilia in the catholic church; they don’t protest the failure of white pastors to discuss racism on Sunday morning; they don’t protest the plethora of white serial killers; they don’t protest the drunk drivers, most of which are white. Therefore if Sharpton and Jackson are fighting their battles by fanning the flame as you call it, then they too, have the right to pick their battle in the manner they wish. Until America is ready to address the holocaust and white terrorism against Black people in America for hundreds of years, no white person can talk. You suffer what Tim Wise speaks of: The pathology of white privilege. You apparently haven’t listened to Neely Fuller, Amos Wilson, Naim Akbar, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Dr. Umar Johnson. By the way, Black people can not be racist.
@Mick Thigpen, the source of these stats were clearly stated on air when he talked about it. They are the bureau of justice statistics. A gov agency where they track things like these. It is not just some stats pulled out of thin air, these are legit.

Are you high? Not smearing everybody, (unlike sharpton, obama, jackson and many more) but your essay is one of the problems. Everytime black america is shown facts or criticized its always somebody else’s fault. No responsibility for anything, and 9 times outta 10 white folks are the “so called” problem. It’s always “whitey’s” fault, or the “man” is holding them down, or (my favorite) “WHITE PRIVILEGE”. That one alone gets me fighting mad, that’s why my family work everyday and pay more and more in taxes while getting less and less respect from our “civil servants”. That’s one hell of a privilege, and what do you call affirmative action, and government contracts that get put to the side for minorities and women. Being criticized is not bad, it makes you feel bad, so you will want to get your stuff straight. Also, why does everybody always go back AT LEAST 200 years when they are defending African Americans? I don’t know what it’s like being black and blacks don’t know how it is being white….And NOBODY knows exactly how it was 200 years ago! I could go on for days but let me get to the last of your idiotic essay, your an obvious lib cause you go to naming off some of your “superior liberal intellectuals”. On to your final point every race has some racist and always will, but how can you come out and say blacks can’t be racist. Who is always shaking the crate, the rev.s, obama, and every democrat. I don’t have to go back decades, this is NOW. Finally, don’t try to belittle Jason on hear, saying he picks and chooses his battles. He would destroy you in a debate, which is why you didn’t call and share your thoughts with him I’m sure. You might have a little since after all..lol OUT!

What is the source of these homicide statistics?
The US Bureau of Justice is the source
