Black-on-Black Crime: The Problem Starts and Stops at Home

by Jimmie L. Hollis

Black-on-black crime is tragic in more ways than one.

The terror felt by a black crime victim is stressful and degrading enough. Knowing that the violence came from the hands of a black thug only adds insult to injury.

Such crimes occur almost daily in black communities across our nation. Criminals rove our neighborhoods like wild dogs, causing women and children to barricade themselves inside their homes.

Contrary to popular belief, racism is not the main cause of black-on-black crime. I grew up ten miles outside East Saint Louis, Illinois during the late 50s and early 60s. It was a proud middle-class city where white and black professionals lived as neighbors. By the end of the 70s, all the white residents had moved out. So did many black families. Those who could not afford to move saw their city quickly overtaken by thugs, criminals, dope addicts, prostitutes and gangs - most of whom were black.

Residents soon found themselves trapped in a hell that caused them to fear even going out to the store. This wasn't fear caused by the Ku Klux Klan, but by blacks preying on their own.
