Black Men : Black Boys are not Innocent like Other Boys - Study

[Blackbird]

One public perception that seeks to exterminate the Black boys.

"Children in most societies are considered to be in a distinct group with characteristics such as innocence and the need for protection," study author Phillip Atiba Goff of UCLA told the American Psychological Association. "Our research found that black boys can be seen as responsible for their actions at an age when white boys still benefit from the assumption that children are essentially innocent."

"While this study is new territory for psychologists, it is just the latest in a string of evidence that shows how black people are perceived differently in the public eye. During the murder trial of George Zimmerman last summer, Jason Silverstein wrote a piece for Slate emphasizing a percieved racial empathy gap in America. He cited research showing that people who watched others undergo a painful experience felt that pain more acutely themselves when the victim was white rather than black. It's not that black people's pain gets disregarded by others, he points out, "The problem is that the pain isn't even felt."'

Is it really about race? You bet ya.

This all speaks to the objectification of Black people and the continuation in American society as a permanent fixture. To even quote cold statistics is a form of objectification.

According to the philosopher Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if they are treated:[1]

• as a tool for another's purposes (instrumentality);
• as if lacking in agency or self-determination (denial of autonomy, inertness);
• as if owned by another (ownership);
• as if interchangeable (fungibility);
• as if permissible to damage or destroy (violability);
• as if there is no need for concern for their feelings and experiences (denial of subjectivity)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectification

White men and guns

More killings
It isn’t only White Americans like Dunn who kill with firearms, but the number of White men committing murder over seemingly strange reasons is increasing. It is easy to look at these individuals and label them as deviant, but these apples aren’t falling far from the nation’s tree.

The Second Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees a right to bear arms, was meant to give every White man the right to police the enslaved and indigenous populations.

Blacks killed more often
Every now and then, an unfortunate White moviegoer or door-to-door salesman will be killed, but the bulk of these cases involve gun-loving White men who kill Black people.

"The meaning of ‘thug’

The word "thug," as Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman pointed out recently, has become "an accepted way of calling somebody the N-word." In Michael Dunn's letters from jail, so racist they banish any doubts the murder was racially motivated, Dunn stated, "This jail is full of blacks[sic] and they all act like thugs...This may sound a bit radical but if more people would arm themselves and kill these **** idiots when they're threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior."

"Today, a Black man is killed every 28 hours in the United States by police or vigilantes, according to a recent study conducted by Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. And most of these Black men will not receive justice, for the systemic and institutional racism inflicting our society does not stop at the courthouse gates. On the contrary, the criminal-justice system works overtime to disadvantage and disenfranchise Black people."

wow

You got that right. So when white people point out that Black on Black violence is a major issue in the Black community, what they are really saying is the right they feel to actively perpetuate continual genocide against Black people because we are thugs and criminals with no right to live in the first place. It's interesting that alot of the murders committed by white folks is against Black folks but we are the thugs.
