After the killing of Scott LaRock in the late eighties, KRS-One started the Stop The Violence Movement to try to curtail the plague of Black on Black violence.According to a Northeastern University study, Houston is at the top of the list of the 28 U.S. cities with the most homicides by and of young Blacks from 2000-2007.

Houston based rapper Bun B. (of UGK) is now involved in the relaunch of the Movement.Hakeem Green (now the Movement's director) states;
"We need to step up to the challenge to stop the violence.
Barack Obama is not the answer; we are the answer.
He (Obama) represents a certain energy we must fulfill"
Since most racists blame ALL of our country's problems on Black people.
The reduction of Black-on-Black violence would be seen as in the best interest of the country as a whole.

Same old story. Where is the call for an end of black-on-white violence?
You did realize that black-on-white violence is over 100X more likely, per capita, than white-on-black violence?
Am I a racist for pointing that out? Is it racist to call for an end of black-on-white violence?
If so, why?
You see the double standard?
