Summary

The article addresses the issue of "Black on Black crime" by emphasizing that it is not a cultural trait but a result of economic deprivation rooted in systemic white supremacy, and argues for Black economic empowerment as a solution.

Abstract

The author of the article, Jaron Mays, asserts that the concept of "Black on Black crime" is a deflection from the real issue of systemic white supremacy, which is the root cause of economic deprivation in Black communities. Mays argues that crime is a societal constant in a capitalistic society and should not be attributed to Black culture. Instead, he suggests that the focus should be on Black economic control and empowerment to reduce crime rates. The article emphasizes that Black individuals should not feel responsible for the actions of "dusty niggas," a term used to describe individuals involved in criminal activities, any more than other racial groups are held accountable for their criminal elements. Mays points out the double standard where successful Black individuals are seen as anomalies, while criminal acts are often collectively attributed to the Black community. The author calls for a shift in perspective to recognize the many brilliant and positive contributions of Black people, and to target the systemic white supremacy that undermines Black economic bases.

WHITE SUPREMACY + STAYING ON CODE

“What About Black on Black Crime?”

Stop deflecting from the real issue

Let me make one thing clear, I have absolutely nothing to do with some dusty nigga killing somebody. If anything, I do my best to stay away from them as much as possible. My very first article, which was a hit by the way, thoroughly explains why I and many others should steer clear from dusty niggas as much as possible.

These Type of Black People Are Dangerous!

Yeah, I said it.

Black folks, understand that you have nothing to do with dustiness. We have to get off this thing where every dusty thing that happens, we feel we got to be responsible because white people told you you’re responsible for every dusty nigga.

YOU AIN’T, BLACK PEOPLE! YOU AIN”T!

There are killings in white society every day, all day. White folks ain’t responsible for that, they ignore it. Same with Asians and the gangs they have — Yakuza, Triads, and other Asian mafias. They don’t sit up and identify gangs with themselves as a group. We’re the only people who are told to identify the criminal element with us as a whole group.

That’s ridiculous. You’ll never stop crime in a capitalistic society – it’s never going to stop, Black people.

The name of the game is to get your resources together and get enough control so that you can reduce it and contain that shit. But don’t own it like that’s apart of our culture because it is not. Criminality is not a part of our culture.

The average Black person is not a criminal and we don’t co-sign that nonsense.

But whenever a crime or killing happens, we are told as Black people “well that’s something in your community that makes you do that.” No it’s not. That’s just a dusty nigga committing a crime.

We don’t have to own up and embrace some dusty nigga. That is not our problem at all.

Because when you have a Black person who’s out here doing something constructive and positive, we’re not allowed to own that as a group. That person is treated like an anomaly — which they’re not. We have so many brilliant people in Black society.

Now do we have dusty niggas shooting each other a lot? Yes, unfortunately. But that’s not a part of Black culture.

Should it be reduced? Absolutely. And how do you reduce it, we reduce that by having an economic base that we control so that when one person comes up, there’s not a bunch of jealous, dusty niggas hating from the sideline.

All of this goes back to resources and finances, we have to start controlling our resources and finances. We have to have an economic base. How do you have an economic base? You have to go after the people and target the people who sabotage our economic bases which are the white supremacists.

Systematic white supremacy is the root problem, Black people.

People want to put white supremacy on hold as if white supremacy is not the problem. “Yeah I know there’s white supremacy, but what about all this ‘Black on Black crime?’” The base of “Black on Black crime” is economic deprivation. That’s why when you watch the news on television or if you read the newspaper, you will see that most of these incidents happen in these economically deprived areas or by some dusty nigga who ain’t getting money like that who’s hating on another Black person who’s securing the bag (money).

It all goes back to economics, y’all. And our economic deprivation stems from systematic white supremacy. So we cannot ignore white supremacy.

These types of Black people are ALSO Dangerous!

This may hurt some people, but I’m just being honest.
