04/15/2008: "Blacks killing blacks disproporitionately sets back fight against racial discrimination"

What is relevant is this: An FBI analysis of homicide reports from 2005 showed that 45 percent of homicides were white-on-white and 42 percent were black-on-black.

At first glance, that statistic seems meaningless until you consider that there are nearly 200 million white people in America and only about 36 million black people.

The amount of violence that persists in the black community is debilitating to the community and equally detrimental to a culture that has been clamoring for equality even before the ink dried on the Emancipation Proclamation.

How can black people be expected to receive equal treatment when we can't even treat each other as equals? How can we demand to be respected and to be treated civilly when so many of us disrespect each other and act uncivilized?

[ We are not "equals" and there is no way to eliminate discrimination. ]
