No I never brought it up first. Read again.
Edit I just said there were more murders and fun injuries in Chicago than the op. To make a point. Every so often a shooting thread like this pops up yet Chicago shootings usually always outnumber them. No one cares about Chicago shooting rates. I never... NEVER... Brought up black on black crime.
When is the last time you saw a thread about the number of shootings in Chicago? No one makes them. No one cares. Yet Chicago is one the highest shooting injury and death cities not to mention black on black crime in the country. That's why threads like this are funny. It's like... Am I supposed to be outraged? Shocked? Fuck that. Looks to Chicago and says "meh".
Look man. It's still repeating tired old tropes. I've seen the same comments from the usual right wing dbags on social media about whatever black athlete talks out against police brutality against african americans, they are out of line - WHERE ARE THEY ABOUT THE MURDERS IN CHICAGO! Same shit when it comes to mass shootings. WHERE ARE THEY ABOUT THE MURDERS IN CHICAGO!
It's like if you don't talk about black on black crime in Chicago you can't talk about anything else. It's ALWAYS Chicago too.
There are just different standards when it comes to white on white homicides though.
Chicago murders are also mostly socio-economic murders - poverty, gangs. Mass shootings are usually some fucking psychopath killing just for shits and giggles. Or white supremacy. That seems to be pretty common.
