Why isn't "White on White" crime considered a thing?
I keep hearing about black on black crime, as if its real. But why don't we ever hear about white on white crime, white on black crime, black on white crime, Hispanic on white crime, white on Hispanic crime, black on Hispanic crime, Hispanic on Hispanic crime, etc.
Why are black people being told to stop this alleged black on black crime so that others in a position of power can stop killing us?

Because they think that black people only care when a white person kills a black person. When there's tons of groups that I know of in Chicago that want peace and are rallying to end gang violence. But will the media ever show that?

Because white is the norm
White is the privilege
White is the position of power
White is the set of normativities that shape and form Blackness, queerness, and the like
Crime is white.
White has constructed all of these meanings.
Whiteness is terrorizing as it has plundered the lands of Indigenous, Blacks. But Blacks are non-existent. So are Indigenous. These "terms" did not exist prior to the era of colonization and colonialism.
Whiteness has made a an economy out of Blackness, Indigenousness, etc.

Black on black crime is a massive issue in the US, and on a per capita level, far outstrips intraracial crime among whites & asians for instance. It does need to be in public discourse 
Not that I agree with them bringing up the issue in the context of #BlackLivesMatter, which is about trigger happy police who are supposed to be PROTECTING black folks. They're just trying to derail the discussion.
edit: good lord that post above me I don't even know where to start

It has and never be a good deflection from people asking for police brutality to end. Black on black crime isn't a thing. Crime is. And we don't have the power to stop criminals from committing criminal acts. We do have the power and right to ask our judicial system to stop targeting and killing black people. The two, even though one of them isn't a thing, are unrelated and are always brought up in context of the other.

Stop taking the attention away from the real issue black on black crime is the leading crime in the U.S. and by far and has been since the last decade. I'm also a bit confuse as to why the "BlackLivesMatter" movement is always at its loudest with parades, protests, media, etc when a white person is involve but the moment a African American is killed by a "Latino" or "African American" there isn't even a whisper perhaps it's because it's to the point it's expected and that's why there is never a outrage and that in itself is wrong..  for some reason African Americans like to pretend that black on black being the #1 crime in America is a myth

How about those Hispanics that are "white skin" like white people (sometimes hispanics are whiter) are they also under "white privilege"

No one said that black on black crime is a ****ing myth. It's hard to fix an issue when schools are underfunded there's no ****ing jobs in the black neighborhoods. They most of the times live in food deserts, so even when they're at their ****** school they cannot focus because of poor nutrition or problems at home. Stop acting like it's an easy ****ing fix.

It is a damn myth. People like trying to sectionalize crime and act like we're ok with our people being endlessly killed period. The reason they think that is because the media doesn't talk about how black people are trying to fix their neighborhoods, so they roll up with this stupid rhetoric about why don't you care about black on black crime" as if we have the means to stop it from happening.
More white people kill mass numbers of people in this country than so-called terrorist. But people are more concerned about keeping the immigrants out. There's always a plan to combat what we should be doing to limit minority crime, but an excuse for when white crime is committed on mass scales.

Umm....
In 2013 alone the year end FBI report shows that 2,491 "African Americans" were killed and only 189 were by White People and 2,245 were by BLACK PEOPLE but where was the outrage, the rallies, the national headlines, the social media debates? No effort to fix was taken!
#BlackLivesMatter is only a trend when a white person is involved and that's very wrong you know it, I know it, everyone knows it. A Black life should matter at all times not only when its taken away by a white person..

The media has an agenda to depict black Americans as thugs. It's sad.

Like I said in my post, there are tons of rallies and protest about gang violence in Chicago. Just because the media doesn't show it, doesn't mean it's not happening.

When white people go berserk (mass shootings, etc) the media frames it as a 'mental illness issue' and the story is spun as a cry for help from misunderstood guy who didn't mean any harm. He was only lashing out bc he was bullied as a teenager! Everyone must empathize!

Its crazy.

BLM was started to combat POLICE VIOLENCE! The people dedicated to protect and serve.
Black on black crime does not give police the right to shoot!
And there are plenty of black people fighting black on black crime (google the Interrupters) it just doesnt fit your narrative

You preaching but this will still fall on some deaf ears. Black folks have been having programs and organizations to combat the crime in our neighborhoods for years but media don't cover this because it screws up their agenda to paint all blacks as criminals/lazy/complainers/docile etc etc
Everyone has crime, not just black people but what happens when the people that are SUPPOSED to be stopping the crime turn into the criminals? A police officer senselessy killing a civilian holds a whole different weight than regular civilians committing crime against each other. People can't see the forest for the trees.

BLM movement is low-key racist. It wasn't intended to be like that, but it went south really quick.
