Why Do White Liberals ignore the problems in the Hood? Why do Black Middle Class Liberals deny that that any problem exists?

I have had this question on my mind for at least 26 years. Why do White Liberals ignore that the Inner city has this high homicide rate?

These white liberals will scream for Gun control laws from the Mountain top  if a mass shooting happens in the Suburbs.  I wondered if these same liberals would scream about gun control when we were the victim of a mass shooting.

On March 9, 2016 in Wilkinsburg, PA two gun man slaughtered 5 people and since one of the women were pregnant they were charged with six homicides.

I was surprised that the only people who posted this story or even mentioned it were Conservative Whites and Hood Whites. As for the Black people they commented. Black people from the hood and black Conservatives expressed outrage and sympathy for the family and joined the chorus that we needed to do something.  Black Liberals blamed the white man and even the police.

The international press carried this story and even some Conservative press covered it. Black magazines like The Root, and The Griot—two online black magazines covered it. It was on these sites that the people of the hood saw black middle class Liberals tell people who lived in the hood that they should be ashamed for  telling people where they lived. They told us that black on black crime was a myth that we were foolish enough to believe this myth.  The people in the hood grew angry and refused to help groups like Black Lives Matter during their protests we weren’t going to join their protest when they denied that we were killing ourselves.

We watched as black Middle class young people called people racist or threatened to get them fired from their jobs if they did not stick to the story that black on black crime was a myth and that white cops were killing these black men.

We watched in horror as black middle class Liberals told our children that they had better not snitch on someone black. They really have no idea how it feels to watch several people die every year during the Killing season. They really have no idea how we need to start snitching when it comes to people committing homicide. We were angry that they would do that to our children.

So to the White Liberal—the black middle class Liberal is only a small percentage of the people likely to vote Democratic. They will vote for the Democrat no matter who is running.  The black from the Hood may not vote because he/she feels both parties are bad for them.  The other 10% of Black people are Conservative and tend to vote Republican.

Unless White Liberals stop listening to the small amount of people in your party and start listening to the larger community of people who live in these communities you will continue to lose.

To the white liberal Black on Black crime is NOT racist it’s a reality that millions of people every day have to live with.  It’s not a myth. White cops are not coming into poor black hoods and killing black men and setting up other black men. The fact that you believe this stupid foolish mess makes me wonder about you

You should never ignore gun violence because the victim and killer are the same color. You would never ignore a white killing another white. Why would you ignore us?
