To hell with all of you, including Black people, who use ‘Black on Black crime’ to deflect from police brutality, the extra judicial murder of Black people, and systemic racism in America.
It’s an invalid argument.
It’s disingenuous.
It’s racist.
It’s disgusting.

So-called ‘Black-on-Black crime’ isn’t a valid argument against criticizing police brutality.
When white people use it, what they’re basically saying is, “you kill each other, why can’t we kill you?“
They never deal with injustice, they just deflect from it.

Black people care about crime within their communities and racism in the criminal justice system. We don’t have to choose one or the other to be vocal about.
Crime perpetrated by criminals is different than sworn police officers murdering innocent prople.

Gang members and criminals who perpetrate violence and murder people don’t have a criminal justice system protecting them from arrest and prosecution—police do.
Stop pretending you don’t understand this dynamic and the reason for our protests.

You don’t care about Black people killed in Chicago or anywhere else. Your mantra is a shameless attempt to use their deaths to advance a white supremacist narrative that minimizes state sanctioned violence against Black bodies and blames Black people for your hatred.
