The I-Black War......another War on Terror

It appears that our resident commenter, "Sergio" is always on time with pertinent articles such as the one below. Afronerd (and to a larger degree, Afronerd Radio) as of late, has been accused of "putting down" Black folk. What many consider to be putting down, others have correctly deduced as being constructive criticism. This next story is another tragic example of a community that is spiraling out of control with the decent amongst us being caught in the storm. If we continue to deny that a number of lower tier African-American people are espousing a nihilistic lifestyle, the deathtoll will continue to rise with no end in sight. Now on to the story in question-here's an excerpt from the Chicago Sun Times:

What are we to do now? That question nagged me every time I thought about the family of Blair Holt. Blair was the 16-year-old Julian High School junior who was killed Thursday when a 16-year-old gang member opened fire on a 103rd Street CTA bus.
Michael "Mario" Pace, an alleged gang member, has been charged with one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder. Kevin Jones, 15, who allegedly gave Pace the gun, faces the same charges.

How in the hell does a 15-year-old boy get his hands on a gun?

As is usually the case, the intended target of Pace's hatred -- which was apparently driven by an ongoing rivalry with another gang member over a girl -- walked away without a scratch.


But Blair, an honor student, was shot when he used his body to shield a girl from the gunfire. He died during surgery. Four other teens were wounded in the armed attack.

War among blacks is too easy to ignore
