lego 44,165 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 ...Each Other'' WASHINGTON -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ® on Sunday criticized what he described as lopsided coverage of the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, calling on the media to stop focusing on racially disproportionate police forces and pay more attention to black people killing one another. "I find it very disappointing that you're not discussing the fact that 93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks. We're talking about the exception here," Giuliani said on NBC's "Meet The Press," referring to the Aug. 9 killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, in Ferguson by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. Brown's death, which sparked extended and widely covered protests, has become a symbol for racial tensions in the United States. Giuliani's comments, which were a response to a question from host Chuck Todd about the racial makeup of police departments, prompted an outraged reaction from fellow panelist Michael Eric Dyson, a professor of sociology at Georgetown University. "First of all, most black of people who commit crimes against other black people go to jail," said Dyson. "Number two, they are not sworn by the police department as an agent of the state to uphold the law. So in both cases, that's a false equivalency that the mayor has drawn. ... Black people who kill black people go to jail. White people who are policemen who kill black people do not go to jail." "It's hardly insignificant," Giuliani interjected. "It is the reason for the heavy police presence in the black community." Dyson and Giuliani's exchange continued back and forth, with the former mayor finally asking, "So why don't you cut it down [black-on-black crime] so so many white police officers don't have to be in black areas?" "White police officers won't be there if you weren't killing each other 70 percent of the time," Giuliani added. "This is a defense mechanism of white supremacy at work in your mind, sir," Dyson replied. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/23/rudy-giuliani-ferguson_n_6207608.html FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Angel 128 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm so happy Mr. Dyson shut him down. I saw the segment, and it was just so embarrassing. The whole "Black on Black Crime" excuse is just a derailment people use to shy away from the whole Ferguson situation and any other thing similar to it. Yes, it's bad, but don't try to justify the actions of a Black boy being killed because black people kill other black people. My god. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
