Whenever anyone mentions the prevalence of black on black crime, black people will emerge from the dark crevices of humanity to gnaw away at the assertion like roaches on a discarded Cheeto. They will explain how most black people aren't gang members. They will offer a convoluted explanation about the lack of present fathers and explicit rap lyrics. They will introduce the concept of “privilege”—the idea that we shouldn’t judge the actions of people of color using modern-day standards—as if the black people can’t quite grasp the idea of inhumanity and brutality.
Everyone knows that selling drugs is wrong. Everyone knows that the bloods and the crips are evil. Everyone knows that running from the cops is a bad idea. Everyone knows that any kind of theft anf murder is evil. These things persist because most black people don’t actively fight to eradicate them.
And most black people don’t actively fight to eradicate black on black crume because they usually benefit in some small way. The Chicago is built on gang activity. Gangs maintain a local order with black people firmly planted atop the social hierarchy. Black Lives Matter keeps the cops in their place, but it also comforts gang members to know that the big white bogeymen are being kept docile lest they be called racists.
Black on black crime exists not because of evil but because the unaffected majority put their interests above all others, and their inaction allows black on black crime to flourish. That is why I believe that silence in the presence of injustice is as bad as injustice itself. Black people who are quiet about gang violence might not plant the seed, but their silence is sunlight.
Many of those people don’t speak out because they fear getting a cap in their ass more than they hate when their tv is stolen. For them, the fear of having someone call them an uncle tom outweighs their hatred of drugs in their community.
They know the reality of disproportionate black on black crime, but they wouldrather blame white people. Their kids receive educations. Their kids can wear hoodies whenever they please. Little Shaniqua and Deandre’s résumés don’t get tossed in the trash because of their white-sounding names. Their children’s futures are determined only by white guilt. Therefore, they stay silent on the sidelines.
That’s not evil.
That is cowardice.

I thought black people were evil. I was wrong.
