Let’s face it, Black crime makes White folks ( and alot of us! ) scared! It doesn’t mean we’re America’s only criminals but does recognize how closely crime and Black have been associated in the public imagination. That said, crime also makes White folks rich. Profit motive may explain why urban anti crime programs like Weed and Seed never make any headway.
Either that or the problem is bigger than bureaucrats can admit.
Black crime is a windfall for politicians, agencies and criminal justice vendors offering everything from privatized food services to probation and even for-profit prisons.
A Black community that goes ” Batman ” or ” Malcolm X ” against crime is simply bad for business!
Remember, less Black crime means less jobs for law enforcement; prosecutors; the judiciary and conversely, fewer defense attorneys, social workers and others would be needed to assist the accused.
Black crime, it seems, is good for the economy, even one gasping from lengthy Recession. The fact it makes the inner city nightmarish doesn’t even rise to collateral damage in most mainstream minds.
This paradox is a manifestation of America’s Original Sin: Black people as commodities.
Self-loving Black people must find their ” super ” and become bad for business as usual by reducing crime among us. **NOTE: “Finding your ‘super ‘ ” is my phrase for creatively asserting yourself regardless of internal or outside opposition.
Until Black crime is reduced mind-by-mind and house by house others continue laughing all the way to the bank while all we get are more tears.
” They ” don’t want Black super people and the tragedy is ” they ” include politicians and spokespersons who look like would-be hostages and heroes in the inner city!
We have no choice but to find our “super” like Harriet Tubman did and steal away from an urban death culture making it so profitable to harm each other.
Black crime may be good for America’s profit margin but the costs us lives and quality of life.
