How much of the homicide in the Wash DC metro area is NOT black-on-black?
I have no idea if the man who got shot is black or not. I hope he wasn't shot in his "manhood." That would hurt.
I will pray for him.

How many sexual predators, spouse murder for hire conspirators and money embezzlers are not white? See there is a stereotype for every race. What is the point of mentioning it?

Isn't most of it black-on-black? Young black men killing other young black men.
White-on-white homicide is nowhere near the rate of black-on-black homicide.

I'm sorry. I'm stating the obvious. Everyone knows this. Blacks & whites.

Was wondering...Sounded like 10 or more shots-lucky person, considering.
No cops for like half an hour-What's up DCPD, one night you keep the whole block up w/ your loud generators and search light and next night-MIA.

In predominantly white parts of the country it's the same thing and there are white folks shaking their heads at that. But regardless of color, it's usually always a senseless tragedy, which makes it worst.
