Why do white people love hearing about negative things about black people? Like black on black crime--- yall are obsessed with that?
@anonymous you just proved my point

P.L.
It helps them to justify their racism against black people. Sad, isn't it?

I'm certainly not "obsessed" with "black on black crime" but I do think it's worth mentioning occasionally, in the interests of balance, that nine times more black people are killed by other black people than are killed by the police.
Why are there no "BLM" posters when THAT happens? Why is it OK when blacks are killed by blacks?

All people are always more relaxed when they read or hear things that reinforce the views they already hold. That's why white-owned TV stations curate their news items to appeal to their audience - and if that audience is assumed to be mainly white, their news will tend to dedicate more time and more video content to black crime (even though most crime is committed by whites, in most jurisdictions). The white audience isn't necessarily cheering each time they see another black mug shot, but they ARE internally nodding their heads, feeling "Yes, this seems right...it all fits the way I've always seen things to be". It doesn't make them uncomfortable by showing them something that doesn't fit their assumptions and pre-judgments.
ALSO, there is a tendency among argumentative people on BOTH sides of the American Black-White divide, to try to focus on, or to repeatedly bring up, any evidence of shortcomings or problems they think exist on the other side, as a means of justifying their continued low esteem for the entire group - and to escape any sense of responsibility for dealing with the threat that the divide itself poses to the entire society. That's why SOME white people love to bring up negative issues in any black community...it's also why SOME black people love to bring up negative issues in any white community. It's essentially an EXCUSE. (As in "I don't have to think about how my ignorance and dislike for all my fellow-citizens of THAT skin color is damaging our shared society and culture - because THEY are no good.)
