Black-on-Black crime is a topic that it is not talked about and it’s time that someone picked up on it.Contrary to popular belief,Black-on Black crime is a thing.And it’s nothing new,as blacks were being killed by blacks all the way back to 1977.Matter of fact,more blacks were killed then,than people in general during the ENTIRE Vietnam War which took a whole 9-YEARS.According to the FBI,in 2016 90.1% of black victims of homicide were killed by fellow black people.And in 2015 6’000 black people lose their lives to other black people.In places like Chicago(nicknamed Chiraq),where there are many gangs,gang violence is a big factor in black-on-black crime with gang members killing their rival gang members.And 48% of members in gangs are African-american.For example,up and coming rapper black LA Capone was a member of the Chicago street gang,Black Disciples,and he was shot and killed in 2013 by his rival gang members who were also black.
