Two brothers of reality TV star Antonia “Toya” Wright were shot in a drive-by early Sunday morning, police confirmed.
Rudy and Josh Johnson were shot just after midnight on Sunday, July 31, as they sat in a car in New Orleans’ 7th Ward.
Both men were shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene, nola.com reports.
About an hour later, a man was gunned down in the Seabrook neighborhood of New Orleans East.
Police believe the murder cases are linked, but they are not releasing any information on the cases.
Wright reportedly received the news of her brothers’ tragic deaths while onstage at an event in Atlanta.
The 32-year-old mother-of-one is the ex-wife of rap mogul Li’l Wayne, 33, and the mother of his eldest daughter Reginae Carter, 17.
Wright divorced Wayne in 2006 after 2 years of marriage.
Rudy and Josh made appearances in the BET reality shows ‘Toya: A Family Affair’ and ‘Tiny and Toya’.
Wright, who was especially close to her brother Rudy, expressed her grief for both brothers on Instagram.com.
Rudy’s girlfriend is reportedly pregnant with his baby.
Tameka and her estranged husband Clifford “Tip” Harris, Jr., aka T.I., were among Wright’s celebrity friends posting condolences on social media.
T.I. caught flack from his social media followers when he urged social justice activists Black Lives Matter to make black-on-black crime a top priority in addition to protesting police brutality.
T.I. tweeted, “For us to really have an argument in the BLM movement WE MUST show that Black Lives Matter to Us!!

@TreasurelsIand @Tip Why do blacks hate talking about BOB crime?

The misguided miscreants on Black Twitter reacted with anger and indignation at T.I.’s suggestion that they show Black lives really do matter by protesting black on black crime, too.
@Tip haven't you said you'll kill ppl in your songs… Don't use those mens' death as a way to push some BS statement

T.I. was on point with his statements regarding the killing of Toya Wrights brothers. I'm in full agreement.

Wright and her estranged husband Mickey “MempHitz” Wright were married in 2011 and separated in February 2015. They appeared to give their marriage another try on the Marriage Bootcamp reality show on WeTV.
Sorry all of this is happening to toya right around the time of her divorce to her husband. Jesus give this family strength.
I agree with the statement T.I. made. He has had his fair share of problems but it shouldn’t take away from what he said. RIP to her brothers and prayers for their family. I know they must be going through it!
So sad. RIP to them.
Truly sad! Although I wonder what the motive was NOTHING justifies being murdered in this fashion. I feel for Toya and I feel for Black America. Enough is enough! Any coward can pick up a gun. A real man knows how to battle with his words.
T.I. was right. This is terribly sad. Heartbroken for her and her family…
Sidenote…K Michelle expressing her concerns via social media seemed disingenuous. Especially considering that you were recently playing clips of Toya and her husband on Marriage Bootcamp at your shows in an attempt to ridicule her. Sit your unfortunately shaped behind down.
T.I. caught flack from his social media followers when he urged social justice activists Black Lives Matter to make black-on-black crime a top priority in addition to protesting police brutality.
^^^^^^^
Sigh ??
Now. Rubs hands. when these guys are found, AND THEY WILL BE due to Wayne and Toya more than likely pitting up a high reward, they WILL go to prison. They will. When someone alabaster kills us they get a GFM and a paid vacation. ALSO, there are boots on the grounds everyday in communities making sure people are safe and strategizing ways to combat crime. I gues you on the TIP of TI this week, huh. Ask him he still goy guns in his house.
Mannnnn…. I’m trying to decide if I want to go in.
Kmichelle really pissed me off ?sending her fake condolences wen jus a mere week ago she was using this womans pain(divorce) as a part of her bullshxt asz concert!!! ?i feel horrible for Toya!!! ur siblings r ur closest blood relatives outside of ur child(ren). i couldnt imagine?????? i hope Wayne made his way to them!! (her & reginae)
All my skin folk ain’t my kinfolk. New blacks get on my nerves
Curtis Scoon needs to drop the S.
But why are her condolences fake? There are some people that I do not like. At all. However, if they suffered a loss, I would offer my condolences. People act like they are 2 damn years old.
Right! I’m glad her ex friend called her out on it. She was just taunting her but all of a sudden a change of heart because her brothers were killed??? Girl PLEASE!
very sad and unfortunate…
2 more black men deceased due to violence
???
Prayers go up to the family. People, we have to stop the killings, hate, jealousy, and envy that is seen in the back community. This is getting ridiculous, and is leading to our own destruction… ??
OH MY GOD! REALLY?!?! A Mother just lost two of the children she gave birth to! A woman just lost TWO of her Brothers at the same time! Two uncles, cousins, Fathers, and friends were lost and people decide to make this a political statement even before anyone one knows who, what, and where it happened! Is it really that difficult to just give one’s condolences and shut the hell up! Jesus Christ they haven’t even been buried yet!
If she wanted to express her sympathy she should have done so privately. She does too much.
they were fake bcuz K is flaw af! & she did it for the world to c!!! everything she does is a show! that long winded rant was uncalled for. im not the only person who feels this way. only person whos been acting like a 2y.o is K tbh
Black on Black Crime is Serious…. He just stated the obvious but isnt it very hypocritical Coming from a man that has opened a strip club. So funny men who prostitute black women talking about black lives matter. Vh1 channel lack of logic.
I can’t fathom the pain. Sending prayers up for her and the fam.
Or even with hands. People don’t fist fight anymore. A bunch of punks with guns. It sickens me.
ALSO, there are boots on the grounds everyday in communities making sure people are safe and strategizing ways to combat crime.
^^^^^^^^^^
This right here! These folks want to hop on the BLM bandwagon but have no clue what the movement is about.
He got guns. “Can’t nobody protect me, but me” – ti
Why post Tips post and idiots that agree with him? They add nothing to this post. Ugh.
Looks like everyone expressed their condolences publicly…even the ones that were closest to here and could have simply picked up the phone. You’re entitled to your opinion, I just think it’s immature as hell.
Do black lives matter when he cheating on his wife with multiple women. The image he showing his sons. His daughters. Sandra you wrong for including that. It coulda been another post.
Sorry about this senseless tragedy. Prayers and sympathy to the family.
Sad situation to lose 2 siblings at once. These streets don’t love nobody! Young men in society better wake up….RIP
It’s ignorant. All races kill their own race more. Black on black crime has always been a deflection. Do things need to improve? Absolutely. That neighborhood needs to stand up and make sure the killers are off the street.
Do black women lives matter to the “kings?”
T.I. is a joke to me.I’m sick of T.I. and faux intelligence and words of wisdom. Period. He constantly raps about guns and gun violence. And according to him, he raps about his life…it’s not fictional art. He’s 40 yrs old still dressing like a 19 yr old, sleeping with prostitutes, publicly embarrassing his family and his BLACK wife, constantly disparaging people that have less money than him, etc.
I just…
Uh, T.I. if you want to make black-on-black crime a priority then do it yourself instead of whoring around and making outside of your marriage babies.
If it’s so serious then HE should do something about it instead of asking someone else to do it.
Lost Negro Syndrome.
BOB crime is a myth. Like a magical unicorn with skittles coming out of its anus.
Good Morning Roses.
I prayed for her yesterday when I saw the news.
The heart bleeds for her and her family, can’t imagine a double funeral.
My prayers to her and her family.
You know what kill me with folks? Ain’t shyt Tip said was wrong ….. So what if he talked about shyt in his raps…. FOH… He ain’t shooting nobody and besides a ninja can’t change for the better?? hell I am sick of the crime period too shewt
I think the chickens are coming home to roost for all of the coons I see. Lol they should have put that mirror right up to his face.
It is very dangerous to live in new Orleans, what a shame.
“misguided miscreants on Black Twitter reacted with anger and indignation at T.I.’s suggestion that they show Black lives really do matter by protesting black on black crime, too.”
I skimmed through looking for this. I knew it would be there. Black on Black crime is punished by the law. No need to protest. As Black people, well, real Black people like myself and many of your loyal readers? We’ve always been against Black on Black crime. If we weren’t force fed crack cocaine, forced into impoverished neighborhoods, project communities,,,Shît, if we weren’t only just a few decades removed from slavery…Yeah, anyway? Not going there. Sure someone already explained in the comments?? Tiz why I keep coming back?
Prayers for the family. My sis was murdered last year, its a horrible feeling to lose someone so close to you.
Ain’t not damn thang he said was a lie … Truth is truth… No matter who do hell it comes from… Be open and receptive instead turning your nose up to it… Trust me it set you free??
So this isn’t about Rudy or Josh ?????
How did this become about tip?????
Toya may you have great strength from the Creator to help you deal with your pain.????
smh…..
Beyond sad…
B.O.B crime is an issue in the Black community that needs to be addressed. We are losing our brothers to street violence on a daily. However, it should not be linked to murder by cop….two separate issues that need to be approached, discussed, mediated, and resolved differently.
It’s every parents nightmare to lose a child, but to lose two to murder is unbearable. RIP! ??
I don’t understand why people don’t get that. It’s simple common sense. SMDH Geshhhh
Sending my condolences to you & your family. :hugs:
This is a clusterfukk. Kimberly (K.Michelle) cant express condolences? I thought that was mighty big of her. And she SED that she couldnt do it privately bc her and Toya had BLOCKED each other…eons ago.
Damn folks. Just DAMNIT.
Thank you.
True. TI is the last person who should be getting on a soapbox lecturing black folk about anything.
Bc folks didnt like HIS condolences EITHER. Im so sick of damn folks IDK what to damn do.
Black on black crime is punishable Mkay. Police who kill blacks go unpunished.
I agree you can hate someone guts but still never wish they would suffer a loss like this.
I read that on the alley. People were like can’t she find an email address to send it to her privately. I laughed because who the hell cares. She wasn’t the only one saying something publicly. They had beef but if you can set aside the bull for a real issue then do it.
Folks I truly cannot stand, but if they suffered loss I would be like damn Im so sorry:
Dub11 stepmama.
My OWN stepmama.
Me and my ex hsuband havent always been on great terms. His mom is hovering at the door of death for months now.
Stupid ass ex that I met on a gossip site.
My old boss. I cant stand that hoe.
Shyt.
I’m jus like oh ok tip is rite… But for the post to be about these guys getting murdered, why not show how much they loved their babies and family… Instead of ppl arguing with tip ?
Reading some of these comments makes me want a damn drink and it’s not even 10:30 in the a.m.
Why does she have to do it PRIVATELY is my question? She BEEN doing stuff public like. Why private now? Folks are being damn unreasonable.
Jenie, I disagree. Here’s why: For decades, there are unsung heroes in Black communities around the country who work tirelessly to stop the declination of their neighborhoods such as a group called New Era Detroit and Mothers Against Senseless Killings in Chicago, so we do fight, but because it’s not plastered all over the media, people don’t know.
We need to wise up to the false narratives that Black people don’t care about our communities because for decades, we’ve been fighting. Many don’t know because they don’t seek.
I have nothing for any “celebrity” who made condolences social media to social media.
It is and has always been addressed.
How many black on black murders are actually solved? Really, I have never ever heard that black on black crime is solved. Lots of murders go unsolved involving blacks as victims.
Awe man. I am so sorry. God bless yall.
?….? SORRY for your lost babe ? praying for you and your family Bama.
They dont hear you tho . If Susey lost 2 uncles the focus would be solely on that but our dumb asses gotta up when Try one shot Lil Darryl, Kean while Tyrone in jail .
Thanks.
People just want something to complain about. If she had done it privately then they would’ve been asking her why she didn’t say something publicly. They just refuse to be happy.
Thank you
He ain’t saying that… Plain and simple stop the violence between our own race first… How can you unite when it’s divided by violence and expect for things to change…. It’s starts with you first… If you are a black life… Which I am and I know I matter and so does my daughter and I make sure she do…. Period… That ninja told no lies in statement and that’s fine you disagree … Cheerio my dear… ? truth is truth bottom line….
Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Your welcome yall stay ? strong
Lord, Jesus! My heart breaks for Toya, Reginae and the rest of the family. R.I.P. Rudy and Josh. ;-(
This is terrible. Praying for comfort for her family.
TI needs to shush about black on black crime. When white people go crazy and kill their friends/neighbors, what are the chances that the victims are not white? People commit crime in their locality, percentage wise it’s pretty much the same thing. Not good, but definitely not the same as cops targeting and killing people of one race.
I get this. But how we know they not sending flowers to the fune? Donating money behind the scenes to the families? Setting up scholarships for the kids left behind.?
We dont. We just dont.
Come though luv.
May GOD strengthing you Toya.
I wonder what the motive was?
LFor us to really have an argument in the BLM movement WE MUST show that Black Lives Matter to Us!!!!!<<<< Reasons why this is BS!
1) So in order for us to demand that the police not gun us down in the streets we must FIRST stop all violent crime in our community?? This logic is asinine. Why is it that we as a race always feel the need to justify the actions of others?
2) His statement implies that we have not shown that black lives matter to us. This is incorrect. I have said several times on this very blog that there are hundreds of organizations dedicated to reducing gun violence and holding perpetrators of gun violence accountable for their actions.
3) I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand the PURPOSE of BLM. Every organization has a mission. When your cable is acting up, you don't call the energy company. When you injure you toe, you don't get upset and demand to see a cardiologist at the hospital. Black Lives Matter is not an organization focused on the crimes occurring within the black community. They seek to hold LAW ENFORCEMENT accountable. You sound really dam stupid every time you mention BLM when an incident like this happens.
I’m through. if you can’t tell the difference between criminals killing criminals and the law enforcement killing civilians than I am done. irony is…the folk who bring up BOB crime typically hold yt folk on a pedestal & compare yt to blacks all the time….but they fail to see that yt folk NEVER bring up white on white crime in the few instances that they are wrongfully killed by officers. yt can call for justice but we can’t? speaking as a person who has never even held a gun, black on black crime is not the issue, its illegal…just like them guns u got caught with FOH tip.
He has a glorified prostitution establishment using black women. He is going to give out lectures about the black lives. That is why its the biggest joke when peoples life work dont reflect any of the BS they are talking. SO many Celebrities and the Entertainment industry is so Fraud.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Good point. And the “no snitching” code in the hood just makes a lot of these killers get away with murder.
Chile anyways today was the first day school Chile… You talking bout happy ????? yeah ninja!!!!
I thought that was big of her and can understand why she did it the way she did it. She had no choice and phuck K ex bff too. That long diatribe she wrote on IG for what, even if she did any of the things that dumb woman suggested the message could have been missed. Now the Kang and Kween of the Souff… tuh! They had a show together, you had to IG her about the loss of her brothers?? You ain’t have no other way to reach Toya?
I read they had an argument in a club with someone. I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Sad nonetheless. ?
The idea that Black people have not fought and rallied to alleviate BOB crime is fallacious, and I wish we’d quite repeating falsehoods and start investigating facts. Blacks have always and will always fight crime in our neighborhoods. Just because you don’t see it mentioned in the media, doesn’t mean it’s not going on behind the scenes. If people bother to do research, they would see that there are grassroots community activities doing their damn thing in their communities, so let’s stop this b.s. about we don’t care. What do you think the Black Panthers were about.
Another thing, if the police can’t do anything to stop crime (crime will and always has been a part of the fabric of America, so it will never be alleviated), then there’s only so much we citizens can do. My question is, what are you and I doing about it. We can talk until we are blue in the face, but every time BLM movement is brought up, the BOB argument comes up. When criminals commit crimes and are convicted of them, normally they go to jail. On the other hand, when police commit crimes against the people they are hired (on our dime) to protect and serve, they aren’t held accountable, so let’s stop comparing apples and oranges. It’s really getting old.
S/N: People better be worried about all these White drug addicts floating around.
Thanks
THANK YOU!!!! It’s so frustrating to have to feed people information because they don’t bother to research. People just repeat what they’ve heard and don’t bother to read and get information. Lazy.
I knew some idiots were going to turn this into a “see that’s why cops kill y’all , y’all kill each other. Blk lives gotta matter to blk ppl” Mfs sound so stupid . Why we can’t just send our condolences? Why we gotta justify our hurt ? BC that’s all it is , simple minded mfs making up excuses bc their minds can’t conphrehend to very different issues. Are some of these mfs so shallow that their minds can not separate two different issues . Do y’all go to breast cancer rally’s & say “stop crying , cancer must be cured as a whole before we just focus on breast cancer .” NO , you font do it bc it is asnine . ugh ppl make me sick .
I’m bout to make a margarita … I ain’t got time for this shyt …. Me and bew bout to lay up ??
Yeah, I figured it was gonna be some kind of personal beef, since it didn’t seem like it was a robbery motive.
Such a senseless loss of life… Not to mention 2 more black kids now who will be growing up without their father.
Not just lazy ..stupid
agreed…folk act like death isn’t supposed to trump petty drama….I don’t like the bad habits bm, I’m pretty sure I would express condolences & keep the kids for her if her frigging siblings die..gawd damn, we really on new age petty in 2016?
Thank you
Hey Sis. I replied to your post down below. We typing each other at the same time.
We don’t know and knowing them I’m sure it is happening. It came off odd to me and a whole host of them did it.
It’s dangerous to live anywhere, no one is exempt from senseless violence.
I was sad to hear this about her brothers. May God be with the family and friends of these two young men and give them peace during this time. Keeping them all lifted up in prayer.
Its simplesimple…muders are based on promxity. Its really that simple .
This post is already out of hand. I’m going to go listen to The Definition of … Fantasia. I’ll be back later.
Thank you! You just said it best. Death trumps petty drama. Folks always wanna complain about something.
I’ll have one with you. Mondays are hard enough as is.
lucky you…first day of school meanwhile I’m on a so called vacation and all these kids harassing me.
If little white boys were out getting killed by the police for no dam reason, I bet you $100 that NOT one single person would say, well first the yt folks need to stop the yt on yt crime. Or if Asians were being targeted and murdered by police, not a single person (even on this here blog) would get on here talking about some dam they need to unite and stop the Asian on Asian crime before we step in to keep the state from killing them in the streets.
Smdh.
I expected better with that album but lonely legend… Chile that is my cut… Tina Turner steez all the way Chile… Yes Gawd hunty enjoy ?
I liked most of the songs on that album.
Amen???!!
Goodt to know. I hope I do as well.
So sorry for her family. R.I.P. OAN: BLM and BOB crime are two separate issues. The twain shall not meet.
You would think it would be that simple. But apparently it’s not. I guess people want black people (and only black people) to get in their cars and drive 20 miles to the other side of town and kill some random yt folks. I mean that is if they make it over there without getting gunned down by the police first.
Thanks. Not bad so far but we’ll see if it makes the ballad rotation.
And it can be addressed some more.
Child intellectual laziness is the worst. Especially in 2016 when you literally have access to everything at your fingertips. You literally don’t have to go anywhere to get some knowledge and people still want to be dumb as hayle.
Jenie, all violence must stop regardless of race, would you not agree? America was born in violence, and violence will continue as long as people’s hearts are dark. Nothing’s going to change that unless that person decides to change. None of us can control the actions of another person. We can only do what we can in our corner of the world. I told you that there are countless groups fighting for change, but you choose to remain ignorant. That’s on you. Also, what are you doing about it? Are we mentoring? Do you volunteer? What? I do. I gave you examples, but you continue to parrot the same fallacious rhetoric. Truth and opinion are two different things. If you choose, after I explicitly gave you the facts, to choose the believe the lie, then that’s on you.
duh…cuz folk REALLY believe we are less than. we gotta kiss azz and suck dyk simultaneously to get basic human rights… mind u no new laws need be written, all they gotta do is enforce it in the case of blue on black crime.
I bought it but wasn’t impressed but she is an excellent artist so I will support …. It’s just okay for me though … You may love it…. I made it my shyt too
I pray that God strengthens and keeps your family.
we gotta kiss azz and suck dyk simultaneously to get basic human rights
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Child….
Honestly, I expected more from Fantasia’s career as a whole. As talented as she is, it doesnt seem like the people around her have gotten her the kinds of songs that would make her career as successful as a lot of us thought it would be.
They lost their fathers sons brothers let’s stay FOCUSED on jus that ?
????????
It is! There’s no excuse for it! Intellectual laziness has made people deaf, dumb, and blind. They aimlessly walk around with blinders on and willfully stay ignorant. I’m afraid for our children.
She did the same thing she accusing K of doing.
T.I. is 100% right. We have to start valuing each other. Without respect for each other, “they” will never respect us. We need to stand up and shout “Black Lives Matter” every time a senseless murder occurs, regardless who the perpetrator is. #Stoptheviolence #RIP #Jesushelpus
That’s what I don’t get everyone who should’ve done it “privately” her so called close friends didn’t! Toya didn’t! The baby momma didn’t! So why should a person who doesn’t even have access her “privately” send their condolences? HOW? (K even said we blocked each other long ago do to beef, and also stated they never even met)
So sorry love
Some ppl dont have the mental compacity or empathy to just focus on that ..
new orleans still being new orleans….
Excellent performer though…. That’s her saving grace…. Very passionate …
It’s too early for some of the ignorance in this post. A post about death. 2 lives lost. How we get to TIP? He is a non-MF-factor in this here situation.
GM though ?
Not sure how human lives have come to have so little value. Is it materialism and being conditioned to actually value stuff and $ more than human lives or thar were so detached from our spirituality we can’t see the god /goddess in each other
I know Toya’s pain all to well as 2 of my brothers were killed due to senseless violence. May the Lord be the strength that she & her family needs during this time cause there are going to be some days where it’s hard to move on. RIP Rudy & Josh!
Sad to say murder has been around for a very very long time . is there a certain quota we should go by before we can make basic strides in humanity ? Maybe if only 100 blk ppl shit each other then could we be mad at cops ?
I don’t have an issue with K saying something. Pain will make folks put up the Petty hat. Plus, y’all act like K was being petty for no reason.
TI is an idiot. They don’t need to “respect” us but they need to obey the law and enforce it equally. That’s the point. I could give a fucc if they like or respect us but it would be nice if they were required to uphold the law.
I really don’t like seeing people talk about BLM in the same sentence or conversation of “black on black” crimes. Yes, black people should not be killing each other. The question is why are they killing each other? Historically, how did black people get their hands on drugs, and guns?
This why black people are so separated. Black on black crimes is sponsored by other races who don’t think blm.
No because the angry, bitter, miserable, life isn’t going their way people don’t have the act right in them to do so
Agreed..
I was wondering what the motive was. Was talking to a male friend Friday and he was talking about teaching his son how to fight…he said he didn’t know if it was worth it because boys/men don’t fight anymore. They solve issues with gun play.
You ain’t lied Nucy GM boo
Even if she didn’t say a word, folks would STILL have a problem with it….Just can’t win.
Anyway, I do offer my condolences to Toya. I cannot fathom what she and her family are going through.
Gm luv ???
I see… This shiit is sicknin? welp GM doll…
My deepest condolences for your loses. Death is a hard thing to swallow. So senseless.
“?Pass the Courvoisier?”
Morning my Oppressed & Cursed brothers and sisters, who don’t realize that Black-On-Black violence and white-on-Black violence is because of the Curses put upon us which is outlined perfectly in Deuteronomy Chapter 28
Israelunite dot org
Dam babe I’m SORRY for your lost as well ?
Hey Sweet! Iwas away and couldn’t get it. My Tasia better make me proud. OMW to get her album in a few.
Sidenote:even my petty has an off switch. Only used in very specific situations. LIKE DEATH.
we gotta kiss azz and suck dyk simultaneously to get basic human rights
*****
But they don’t hear you though ?
True…and even if they do fight at first, if they lose, their pride wont allow them to accept it and leave it at that. They’ll come back later with a gun to settle things.
That graphic though ??????
Morning luv!
All boys/men should know how to fight.
Yup. “She couldn’t put her petty aside one day and say something nice??
Sending my condolences to you & your family. ??
So sorry love. So sorry.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Their last post…. AND GOD WAS ALL IN IT unlike these simple comments ? rest well Rudy and Josh ?
“Without respect for each other, “they” will never respect us.” Respectability politics doesn’t work. It’s as if we are saying, “It’s our fault others don’t respect us.” No, it is not. White supremacy has nothing to do with us. I’m sure Martin, Malcolm, Edgar and the rest of our freedom fighters respected themselves. That didn’t stop them from being murdered. Other’s respect for us has nothing to do with us, but everything to do with a group who believes we are 3/5 human, criminals, sexual deviants, and overall inferior.
All perpetrators are not considered equal. The police are supposed to protect and serve, not kill us. We get no justice when they do it, but criminals more than likely, if convicted, will serve time. The violence won’t stop. We live in a world that celebrates it. We see clips of violence every single day from the news to the Internet. In fact, these clips often go viral. How can America say, “Stop the violence,” when it’s genesis began with a violent take over? How can we say, “Stop the violence,” When caught on tape police violence and shootings are looped over and over again? It’s hypocritical because America planted it’s violent seed, but then is perplexed at the fruit that grew from it.

I will never understand why some blacks need acceptance from their oppressor. Why are u soo eagered to make them like or accept you…..I stay off social media for this reason mainly. Its so embarrassing, and disgusting. To see black folks beg, plea for white approval….smh..

Do they know who killed them? If not, how we even get to Black on Black crime. Even if it was, yall folks running off the education of TIP University (really community), are really dumb, fo real.

I love thinking people! Yes, that’s what the statistics don’t talk about. One of the worst areas in my lily-White hometown is a trailer park filled with White folks. Even White people avoid that area. If a survey was conducted, it would show that that area’s crime is perpetrated by predominately White people. That’s what happens when a demographic is populated by certain groups.

Death can make people see and do things that they never thought they would. I love me some K, good and bad, will admit when she’s wrong. Tiny did it in social media and has her phone number, that’s cool though. Can’t please everyone. Shouldn’t even try.

1. No matter how much we (blacks) love each other or respect ourselves, BEIGE PEOPLE DON’T GIVE 2 S – H – I -T -S about that. Their agenda was and still is to destroy us. They make you look a certain way in the media to make the rest of the world hate us. We can walk around here in suits, evening gowns, all married, all educated and no killings amongst ourselves and THEY STILL WOULDNT GIVE A F – – K ABOUT US! #facts….In fact they would HATE IT if that was to happen, because they don’t want to see us prosper AT ALL.
2. Random black people are not going around shooting other black folks. Majority of black murders come from gang violence, so the correct term is GANG ON GANG violence, which btw continues because the police/government LET it continue. It could easily be stopped or heavily slowed down, but the drug war was built to specifically destroy blacks, plus it brings in a lot of money, so they are not trying to stop it.
3. A few years ago, I was watching a video/documentary of T.I. (I believe it was called BEEF, not sure) and if I’m remembering correctly, he was bragging about how impeccable his rap sheet was…..yeah bragging about his role in the destruction of his own people, so yeah T.I…… I’m gonna need you to have a jail cell full of seats and STFU!!!

Addressing with do what? Actions/solutions are what matters. We can talk until Jesus returns, but if people aren’t doing and solving problems, talking is in vain. Oh, BTW, crime rates have gone down.

How do you know that???? How do you know their heart how!?!?

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to heal and find some peace. Stay strong.
police brutality and black on black crime are two different issues entirely and expecting fair just treatment from law enforcement should not be predicated on whether or not black people harm one another. crime is an occurrence that happens among all races and is the reason we still have a police force. crime/killing should not cease to exist for these officers to do their jobs properly (and if in fact it did cease to exist there’d be no reason for them so that lame argument TI and others attempt to make is dumb).
on a side note, I agree with the posters who pointed out that TI has profited from black on black crime himself so he’s a bit hypocritical. before fame he sold drugs and was the very violent stereotype the police have constructed for black men. and after fame, he has continued to perpetuate and glorify his old lifestyle by rapping about it in his songs..
Thank you.
So TIP got a flock of fools behind him? OK.
So did Monyetta and Rasheeda.
WTF is up with that? I hate that sh*t too!
I was just telling my step daddy this . We are the only ppl who fight to be included . We beg for jobs instead of creating them . Foreigners come into this country & create something for their kids . Look at our neighborhoods ..Arabic’sArabic’s own the corner stores ..Chinese own the nail shops . Mlk said it himself ” he feared hr had integrated his ppl into a burning house .” Imagine if we would’ve marched our reparation , we’ve the group that has been oppressed & not paid . Imagine if we would’ve fought for our own land ..
You’re welcome.
Thank you
it’s not materialism, it’s rising cost of living, inflation, limited resources and fewer opportunities. there is less violent crime when there are opportunities for more people to succeed. the past twenty years we’ve seen our middle class continue to erode away under crippling debt and fleeting job security. this is also why there is more tension among racial groups.
T.I. needs to read this verse here because it fits his life story very well:
“Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed” Proverbs 13:21
This why he’s ALWAYS in some trouble ( and got the nerve to call himself troubleman )…but as I was saying, he’s always in some trouble because of his sins
we all got sins, BUT our thresholds with God are different…God can decide to Kill this person faster than He does another
Actually she was in Baton Rouge at an event and they aren’t sure the murders were linked. Sorry it was aggravating me, but anywho RIP to her brothers. Smh that’s so surreal.
You right, I believe he realize that too, we should have never integrated. Just like native in this country, they have own land, own courts, , its sad.
My ex best friend and I hadn’t spoken in 2 plus years until I lost 1 of the most important people to me, she showed up at my door. Held me, cried with me, sat with me. We still aren’t cool but for that, we have a mutual respect. Death does that.
The code comes from fear actually. You still have to live with these people so I do understand why it’s there. I don’t agree with it but snitches get body bags.
if they are not keeping God’s commandments ( not that mess they tell pple in sunday church) , this is what God says about it:
“Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
John 9:31
..hey….the longer black people continue to ignore the Word of God, guess what? we gonna keep getting jacked up from all angles
I’m still in the healing process. It’s harder than most people think. I always hear time heals everything but that’s not always true for some. I just take it day by day & pray that today is better than yesterday
We are an oppressed people, some will find the way others will remain stuck, its just is, I guess….
God help them!
When I saw this family on national television, I hoped they would make it, particularly the boys. Especially, when their father came to see them and talk to them, basically supporting Toya – who was trying to empower her brothers by letting them know their worth. But I also knew too, this was BIGGER than Toya. I hope she does not feel ANY guilt in ANY way. I want the best for my family too, but I know when we make it EVERYONE cant go. Everyone don’t share the same vision of getting out of bad situations and making them better.
Although I know there is more to this story than being reported, I just pray that the Mom, Toya and siblings pull through this difficult time.
Lots of birds… chicken heads and pigeons you say? LOL
He realized it @ the end ..he was killed bc he was taking the USA to the United Nations for crimes against humanity.
Yessss, what do we have now?
Exactly. I’m like do you understand that in a few decades we can’t undo 400+ years of a mentality. Shit put people in poverty and this is what you get. I watch forensic tv all the time and white people stay killing for damn insurance checks.
FACTS
I feel the same about Jennifer Hudson… their voices are too big and people don’t know what to do with them.
I can’t do Fantasia for more than 2 minutes. That girl just bothers me. She can sing tho; her presence is what is lacking. You’ve gotta connect to your audience – I can’t connect to her.
What time zone you in? You mean mimosas right?
You do what you must, to feel how you need to, so you can heal. I pray you heal as best you can.
Apparently no one can tell Black folks anything lol. If TI came from academia, someone on here would be yelling: “but he don’t know the streets” lol
If anybody is qualified to talk about violence, it’s the people who actually went to prison for such acts. Unless y’all two did a bid, Idk why you’re so upset with his statement. It’s true from his perspective. Let it go, we all won’t agree with this.
I love you.
Girl , its exhausting trying to explain something so simple ..???
I recall from watching her reality shows just how together & tight they were (her siblings & even parents). She always seemed protective of them & was pushing the younger to finish school & whatnot. Prayers to them in their time of grieving & healing. I CAN’T & NEVER want to imagine the pain she’s in but I hope the Lord provides strength & protection for them all.
Nothing but them…
Yup, his followers carry a Dictionary/Thesaurus combo.

The new negroes ..
#hollering ……Sit your unfortunately shaped behind down….#disingenuousForSure
****Lord-God, please cover the Wright family & friends with your loving, caring, arms and show them that You continue to be in charge. Give them the peace of knowing and believing this, dear God. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.***
….don’t! Too early in the week. Conserve your mental & physical energy, I say……
Really. Why is when we kill each other it is LABELED black on black crime. When white folks kill each other it is labeled as a crime and race is not included. White people kill each other 24/7 and I don’t see any emergency need to do something statistics on that. I don’t see Bill/Rush/Sean/Stacy talking about it in rotation 24 hours a day as if it is not a problem in the white communities. I never heard a white person say I feel left out when things are labeled black on black crime. As soon as they see something positive like Black Girls Rock all of a sudden white folks feel left out. Can’t have it both ways white people. You wanna join us when it is good but when it is bad you want to be separated. Excuse me T.I. who was you gonna kill buying guys illegally in a parking lot at night. Couldn’t wait to do it the next day when the gun stores open legally. You even made a song called “HURT” where you can hear the gunshots go off as part of the song. Now you got up and decided to be self righteous and blame BLM for this. You took part in Roots for 30 minutes and now you got a conscious. WOW!!
HELLO. just like Snoop complaining about Roots, looking like Aunt Jemina with that scarf on his head and prostitute black women as well.
Let me preface this statement with “I/we don’t know all the facts about how or why these young men’s lives taken. Also, praying the Lord will grant this family strength to get through these difficult times.” Honest question since we’re speaking amongst family, if/when young black men meet their demise as a result of involvement in illegal activity are we to look at it through the same lens as say innocents getting hit by stray bullets (i.e. simple “wrong place/wrong time”)? Isn’t the take away here that we need to govern ourselves accordingly, stop promoting these morals and lifestyles that continue to denigrate our black community and make “doing better”/progression the only acceptable narrative? AND WHY THE HELL DOES BLM FIND IT’S WAY INTO EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE??? BLM becoming like Jesus is in every conversation concerning black folks no matter how unrelated! “Sista Odell got Diabetes”…”How we talking about BLM and our suga don’t even matter to us”
WOW…i am so sad to hear this. My heart and prayers to the family
Bottom line!! I don’t know why people can’t comprehend this concept. This is the reasoning that the BLM movement was built upon.
Exactly if people read k Michelle tweets instead of trying to go in on her she said we may never be best friends but I don’t wish that pain on anybody and as a sister in Christ prays for her healing
some blacks are beyond pathetic…that being said, when you live a life of street dealing the outcome is tragic
Sooo sad! Glad to hear that Toya reconciled with her brother that she had been fielding with… That is some solace. What a terrible blow . I’m praying for her Mom losing two sons like that ! Lord it’s awful!!!
It really is. There just comes a time when you just surrender and realize they choose to stay where they are. Too much energy expended to try to convince them otherwise. ?
Right not to many black murders don’t go unsolved they make sure they solve those with little evidence to put whom ever behind bars within a month. Its different then BLM, police kills with all the evidences, to witnesses to cameras, still get to walk free with a pat on the back and back to work they go.. But people don’t look at it that way.
Amen…
Toya was actually in Baton Rouge LA at Allure when she received the news, not Atlanta. Sad as hell. This violence throughout the nation must end.
Right, not to mention al the races who make up the white race .. Jewish, German, Irish, Scottish.. They all white of course OUR numbers going to be higher!! But actually they kill eachother at a way higher rate. But again they White , down with white supremacy.. and they are in charge of everything including the data.. Oh and why they aint talking about all the Meth heads they got, where is the war on them.. Oh yeah , they white, and wouldn’t you believe they get free treatment and all typs of programs. You wont see it on the News because they control that too.
We ARE killing each other at alarming rates. Call it whatever, its happening. Young white men aren’t killing each other, women and babies senselessly day in and day out. Young white men don’t make up the majority of the incarcerated population. We got to accept responsibility. Stop pushing this BS in our music and stop glorifying that lifestyle. It IS our fault and only WE can fix it. Pointing fingers won’t solve anything. Call to action!
I fail to make the correlation between outside babies and speaking out against senseless violence. Whatever his moral character, he is right.
TI wasn’t going to kill anyone, Why cant Black Folks like Guns? maybe he wanted a collection, who knows, and who cares. Its only Black folks who are judged on their pass. Its hard for Blacks to get guns legally, we want to protect our family too. I guess people cant change, wow!! He also went to jail and paid his debt with his freedom and money. You just like them white folks, I bet you forgive Them for slavery too. FOH!
Funny…I never see these “boots” where I live. I hope TI still has guns. Shit is crazy! He should protect himself.
Im responding to MyNamels not you hottlanta
Thank You…. How fraudulent… Their art reflects anything but Black Lives Mattering a more appropriate title for them is Money is the only thing that Matters when rappers are concerned.
Right! We cant even see how they conditioned us !
Because its her blog, perhaps?
No he’s telling an organization what they need to do while ignoring his own back yard.
Do.you.understand?
Yes! Shame on TI for forcing those women to get naked! He ….AND Hugh Hefner should be burned at the stake. He saw a business opportunity and took it.That’s adult business and those women are grown. He’s not making them do anything and they’d be naked somewhere else if he closed his doors. But Hus message is true, substantial and worthy of discussion.
Exactly!..????
???????????????
Right. They always judge your moral character when they can’t accept the message. What does any of the myriad excuses you all have brought up got to do with what he’s saying? He is right. Even a broke clock is right at least once a day, if that helps you. Why reject the message? Because it forces you to look within and none of us want to do that. We want to bury our heads in the sand while blaming everyone else for our problems. So over it.
It still doesn’t have anything to do with it! but I will not go back and forth about it.
Yes, if we’re smart enough to know we’re still suffering from the effects of 400 years if oppression then why aren’t we smart enough to fix it? Waiting on THEM to fix…will be ANOTHER 400 years. Killing each other isn’t fixing it. Yes, the police kill unarmed black men. We can fight more than one cause at a time. Personally, I don’t think one is more important than the other. They’re EQUALLY outraging but arguing over it is WASTING TIME when that effort could be directed to actually FIXING THIS SHIT! ALL OF IT!
She said she couldn’t DM Toya because they both have blocked one another. I don’t know, me personally, if I had been publically beefing with somelike that, I wouldn’t have anything to say, good or bad about their loss. If K. Michelle is genuine, this lil shat her and Toya got going should be squashed. Not saying they are going to be best friends but after offering condolences, and then go back to showing Toya’s marriage breakdown on tv at your concerts would be pretty fake.
Well perhaps you can put some on.
Me too.
How is he prostituting women? What does that have to do with black on black crime? Its a money making establishment. Oh I see just let the White people profit off Strip clubs where WE dance. This is a black profitable business.
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t catch the name of your mentorship program or advocacy group.
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t catch the name of your mentorship program or advocacy group.
Because the WORLD is thinking it. A lot of you are in denial. It may not be politically correct, but “others” legitimately ASK how can BL matter to us, when they don’t matter to YOU? Its the old adage, you teach people how to treat you. I’ve encountered so many others that think they need to talk a certain way simply because I’m black. Whether we like it or not, you can’t change peoples mind. One idea of us is constantly pushed and we’re doing zero to change that perception. It’s NOT PC, but it’s TRUE. It’s that uncomfortable conversation none of us, both black & white, are willing to have. I resent being thought of as “hip hop”, but can I blame folks for this assumption? No. I can educate them and refrain from engaging in BS behavior, thus contributing to the problem. That’s where “LOOKING WITHIN” begins. STOPPING the BS behavior and upholding all of the WRONG values. Worldstar HH, for one.
So who is actually doing these driveby murders? Its been reported as well as in the Past. These white folks come in the hood and commit these crimes too! Don’t believe me, look up White supremacy. Oh and watch Hidden colors, Part 1,2,3,4
Wonder where we learned that from? the boys in Blue do it and white supremacy has been doing it for centuries.
Proximity? That’s all? Anywhere there’s poverty and LACK OF EDUCATION, crime will flourish. Add in drugs, disruptive behavior being glorified, fathers missing from the home, grandparents raising children, no communication, parents no longer “parenting”, images on TV, removal of spirituality, low values & morals and you have what we have here. So many factors. Where to begin is the problem.
If wow crime was anissue, I’m sure someone would bring it up. Why are we so concerned about how the next us treated and so unwilling to admit there’s a problem? All of these gymnastics but young BM are dying and being incarcerated in DROVES!! Not THEM, US! Who cares what they think or are doing to help? WE MUST HELP US FIRST! There IS a problem! Get your head out of the sand!

They lived their lives in the streets and we are shocked they were murdered? It is a very sad situation but not surprising

Sorry , but this is stupid to me ..completely stupid to me . Why do you care so much abt what they think ? You know once upon a time we were on our own land , with our own culture & they still raped & murdered us . Do bc they are ignorant bc they stereotype you , you want to educate them & show them you’re not like the rest if us
Why should I have to prove that I am an individual . Ppl will always kill ppl it is apart of life . if you keep waiting for blk ppl to stop killing each other to get justice you are going to be waiting a very long time . When white ppl are murdered do we make excuses , do we bring up how many times they’ve killed each other ? Bc you do note white ppl kill white ppl than any other race , right ?

If you keep waiting for your oppressor to save you, you’ll be just that…. Waiting. Its NOT in their best interest to help us. I can’t believe this is your complaint. What do you expect the ENEMY to do? Is this stall tactic? We should help ourselves. Its time to cut the shit and stop with the excuses.
This is very heartbreaking..im the oldest of 2 brothers and id lose my shit if i lost my brothers especially at the same time..many prayers.goes to this family
I have TWO non profits. One for formally incarcerated women and re-entry into society and a sickle cell foundation. Yours?
Exactly!!! Well said.
How do you know WHAT I do? Where are YOUR solutions, keyboard warrior?
I never said he wasn’t apart of the problem. I do agree with his statement just as I would if someone else said it.
It STILL does NOT negate what he is saying.
Do YOU understand?
Clearly NOT!
T.I’S STATEMENT IS CALLED GROWTH AND MAYBE AN EPIPHANY SOMETHING ALOT OF PEOPLE NEVER EXPERIENCE. BLACK ON BLACK CRIME IS A PROBLEM ESP WHEN WE ARE THE MINORITY AND OUR MURDER RATE AGAINST EACH OTHER EQUALS THAT OF THE MAJORITY AKA WHITES. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU AND OTHERS CAN’T SEE THAT AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I’M SO SICK OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY ALWAYS WANTING TO CALL OUT EVERYONE’S DIRTY DEEDS BUT WANNA SWEPT OUR BS UNDER THE RUG LIKE IT’S GENOCIDE TO SPEECH OF OURS. SMH!!! THE STREETS ARE COLD AND BUCKETS ARE STILL FULL OF CRABS. THE BS MUST STOP!!! R.I.P. TO TOYA’S BROTHERS AND MAY GOD GIVE ALL OF THEIR LOVE ONES PEACE AND STRENGTH………..JENNY JONES!!!
EXACTLY!!!! THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT MLK, JR HAD EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIRS BUT DOES THAT TAKE AWAY FROM ALL OF HIS GREAT, GREAT DEEDS FOR HIS PEOPLE AND A ZILLION OTHERS. PEOPLE HATE THE TRUTH. SMH!!!………JENNY JONES!!!
BLM movement was not created in response to black on black crime…two different situations…js
What’s “misguided” about pointing out the obvious? T.I. has piled up millions by encouraging the same kind of violence that claimed Toya’s brothers. In fact, wasn’t T.I. arrested while stockpiling guns in preparation of a murder? Remember the “no pop, no sound” comment he made in those secret recordings–an indication he was likely going to murder someone in their home?
You can’t excuse ignorance, and anybody that makes excuses for T.I.–who is just as responsible for black murder if you ask me, as racist police officers are–is just as ignorant as he is.
T.I. was quite hypocritical to call out BOB when he is a major arbiter and benefactor of it.
What are the names please I know someone that could use your help. Very interesting you claim to do two non profits because if its fully operational and legally accounted for I’m surprised you have time to run two. I never claimed that I worked for a non profit but I actually mentor young teen moms that have to go to alternative high school. See the thing isn’t about one generation turning over centuries of systematic racism, its about everyone doing their part. Whether it’s going to college and getting a good job, fathers raising their babies or minorities becoming leaders.
Let’s face it: this is a lost generation with many more to come. Black America once had virtuous, illuminating figures to look up to such as MLK, Jr., and Barbara Jordan and so many others. they’ve passed on and been replaced by T.I., Young Jeezy, and Nicki Minaj??
No other culture glorifies its troubled elements the way in which we do. Block parties and clubs packed when T.I. drops a new track filled with references to drugs flowing through poor BLACK neighborhoods. Where are the block parties for the young men and women of color who graduate with honors from Morehouse, Spellman, Harvard??
Let’s not pretend our problems don’t run deep. Blacks don’t even control commerce in our own neighborhoods, of which Koreans, Chinese, Indians, Jews and Arabs have full control. And its not getting better, because so many of youa re enriching these people by spending thousands of dollars per year on fake hair products that do nothing aside from propping up your false sense of beauty and to hide your deep seated insecurities.
And also, so you can look “cute” in church on Sunday–where the preacher finishes fleecing you of whatever the Korean hair merchants didn’t get out of you.
BOB is just part of the problem. It is one of the many symptoms of a failed social structure
#blank stare# lol some of you people need to cut it out. Serious Denial
There are already organizations that deal with black-on-black violence so why should BLM# have to focus on black-on-black violence when they prefer to focus on holding police accountable and as I pointed out T.I. needs to clean up his life before pointing the finger at someone else.
There is a NEED to protest black on black crime because even if the perpetrators are punished by the law, the effects remain the same: fatherless children, likely to grow up in poverty to be raised by the streets and suffer the same ill fate.
Also, many more black on black murders go unsolved than they are solved.
That’s right TIP you tap-dance for your white audience like the uncle tom you are. The eight-time felon you are. I suppose all those machine guns and silencers he was purchasing in a parking lot were to harm whites and not his fellow blacks? How about that time he was fighting in the club and got his best friend murdered?
At 12 am Toya’s brother should have been at home in bed with his pregnant girlfriend – not running the streets. Live by the gun, die by the gun. Hard to feel sympathy for those types.
If he wasn’t gonna kill nobody he should have waited for the gun store to open the next day when the sun was up like any respectable citizen if he didn’t have anything to hide. People who collect guns go to gun shows. Is he paying you or something. Wasn’t his daughter just recently caught at the airport with a gun. Let’s keep it real since T.I. is feeling a little poetic this morning. Toya brothers were thugs who REFUSED on purpose not to contribute anything positive to society and you want me to cry for them. This girl is parading this pregnancy around like it is a badge of honor. Now dad is gone and money can’t even get a Social Security check because dad NEVER had a job. We gotta take care of that baby. Let’s talk about that. T.I. said he was a cool dude. Really T.I., how cool would he be if he got your daughter pregnant. You wouldn’t like it because it would be too much like looking at yourself in the mirror because the chickens have come home to roost.
These black guys join the gangs ON PURPOSE. T.I. needs to address that.
SOOOO DOES THAT BRING BACK HER BROTHERS OR THE THOUSANDS PROBABLY MILLIONS OF OTHER BLACKS KILLED BY OTHER BLACK PEOPLE? I FORGOT IT ISN’T A PROBABLY B/C THE BULLET OR KNIFE CAME FROM ANOTHER BLACK PERSON, RIGHT? LORD HELP US ALL………JENNY JONES!!!!
I feel ya boo! I think the only reason someone would purchase a illegal weapon is because they couldn’t get one legally. So what then? He has a right to protect his family, don’t you see he dammed if he do or don’t. What would you do, not protect your family because THEY say you cant own one? With that being said , he can still care about black on black crime.
T.I. needs to go somewhere and sit down. He knows good and well if he saw some guys looking like them walking in his GATED community he will call the police. That is how he feels about black on black crime as long as it is not in my neighborhood. Who wants to hurt his family for him to do such a thing after midnight since he is living such a righteous life. I don’t feel I need to get a gun.
Thank you. Folks been on the ground rolling tackling black on black violence before BLM.
Well I didn’t either but now I feel different. #staystrapped #shootfirst #wakeupblackpeople
DAMN!!!! Now that was a line for the ages. Well put.
I would go to a gun store to get a gun when the sun is up, not when the moon is up. Protecting your family is doing things the right way to keep you from going to jail for doing things the wrong way. I am sure picking up that gun in Roots brought back some Bankhead memories for T.I. He was like yep I am home.
understood
Margarita … Eastern me and new get down like that… We glad these chilled back in school Chile ? turn up… Why we both ended up sleeping instead lol ?
Who are these Folks that are tackling it? I bet you don’t know any. Because no one is on it!
Right!
Yes they are Honey, at higher rates than is black folks! White people ARE killing babies, woman senselessly. And the meth epidemic is Crazy, they wont show the deformed children they producing. But the Media only focuses on BLACKS to further push the propaganda that we are all savages.. Its called white supremacy sweetheart. White men get slaps on the wrist for crimes Blacks get Years for. Come on you cant be this blind. And its the Media that’s pushing and glorying the lifestyle, ever heard of Hollywood? If you are Black please go watch Hidden Colors 1,2,3,4. Research white supremacy. They make the laws to keep us disenfranchised, and impoverished. Are you black? How old are you? This bothers me a lot that you feel this way.
Yes, this is sad. But Isn’t this what WE do (kill eachother with words and weapons) then get mad at white people for calling us out on it?
Do #BLACKLIVESMATTER to us??
STOP SPEAKING THIS TRUTH! You’ll be labeled as White or a Self-Hater. Please keep your eyes closed and just fall in line with the other sheep.
Thank God! I’m getting a little life now, knowing that not ALL black folks arent blind to the truth
Gangs are Family! Not all gangs are Violent. Who you?
“Because the WORLD is thinking it. A lot of you are in denial. It may not be politically correct, but “others” legitimately ASK how can BL matter to us, when they don’t matter to YOU? Its the old adage, you teach people how to treat you….”THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID LUV..i am not concerned what the opioions of others & again it makes no sense to talk on the magical unicorn of blk on blk crime & sterotypes..2 separate issues.. I agree what you for the most part but at the end of the day they are two separate issues. GOOD DAY
White on white crime. T.I. Let’s discuss since black on black crime is so bad. Comment on this

Mother Denied Parole After Broiling Her 14-Month-Old Daughter alive in a 600-Degree Oven
An Alabama mother sentenced to 25 years in jail for putting her 14-month-old daughter in a 600-degree oven has officially been denied parole this week.
Despite previously claiming it was an accident, Melissa Wright, 40, pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of her daughter, Ashley Smith, in 2003. According to WSFA, Wright “removed the racks out of the oven, turned it to broil and waited for it to heat up, and then put her head first into that oven.” When her father heard Smith screaming, he quickly ran to the kitchen.
Smith suffered severe third-degree burns and received over 25 reconstructive surgeries after she was pulled from the oven by her father. Now 15, she argued against Wright being released from jail early because she believes she might still be a threat to her niece and nephew, who are currently both still very young.
“I honestly do not trust her and I’m afraid for their safety,” she said, according to Us Weekly. “I can’t imagine anybody being in as much pain as I was in… I do not hate Melissa, but I do not love her. I forgave Melissa.”
According to People, the state’s parole board rejected Wright’s request for an early release on Tuesday, and she will not be eligible for parole again until 2021.
John Kennedy was the king of affairs when he had his mistress Marilyn sing Happy Birthday to him while his wife was there. Does that take away from what he does. His dad also made money illegally during prohibition did the government take away those illegal profits. Yet if I lived in public housing and my brother sold drugs and if he got caught, even though I didn’t know anything about it I will have to move. Yet the Kennedy family has generational wealth off illegal liquor.
Why aren’t you on it. What is your excuse. Oh my bad you waiting on someone else to start it while you come on this board and discuss your dissatisfaction but yet you do nothing.
You are an idiot just like she is.
Hey , you said people were on it, I said they don’t care. I don’t have an excuse, it took a while to Wake the Fcuk up to all this BS about my Black people, and white supremacy but Now I see. Propaganda will having you believe anything they want. I definitely will not forget where I came from when I make it, and I really want to start something. Your ignorance is astounding!

Of course we are. Do not discount those of us who fight the fight, administer the programs all while trying to stay alive for our own families. “These folks’ work unpaid overtime and may not be on your radar. No, we don’t have the power needed to address such an endemic psychosocial issue, but what have you done today? I wasn’t born in an urban area and don’t have family in gangs. I put the work in.
No. You can’t see it. Waiting until you “make it” is an excuse to say “let someone else do the work”. I began at age 17.
When I say make it, I mean when I can make a difference, and You do need Money to do it. So let me rephrase. I cant make people stop killing eachother, but I can do something. You’re right!
What you doing Anji, I can be down with your group!
Smart enough? It takes more than intellect. I didn’t put this burden on my people and while I may address it and fight against it, all of my and other organizations cannot stop this without a concerted, genuine effort by our government. I can work with the walking wounded but I can’t fix the social construct that creates the cycles that systemic hate produced. We’re not waiting on “them”….maybe we’re waiting on “you”.

Sincere condolences on the lost of your sister.

lol…I feel like that…they want blacks to collectively perform a miracle before we get equal protection under the law.
Where to begin is not a problem. Choose 2-3 areas where your contributions may matter the most. Being stagnant is the true problem. For me it’s been decades and I often slide over to other issues to assist dependent upon time and need. I support BLM when they need although that isn’t my focus.
May you be blessed on your journey and take the best care of yourself. Healing has no time frame or measure.
VH1 school of rationality! Very 2016 way of thinking.
there is no shame with black people… Black lives matter!
Thank you
I’ll be the idiot dog bitch and you can keep being the white man’s victim and ghetto life sympathizer.
Nefarious activity caught up to them? Sad, but you have to look at she got out, but they didn’t. Did they want to or gave in to what they knew as keeping it real? I guess.
Why DO black people get mad when someone says anything about black on black crime? I don’t get it. Will her mom leave now? Then the flip side is if Toya doesn’t have this mindset, y’all can’t stay here. Sorry. Phuck that. I got gutter hood family that I just don’t deal with or visit. FB is close enough.
Yeah I follow her on IG and she was really pretty heading to her event in Baton Rouge that night.
Nope. We view as it is, as Im sure Toya did. Like damn, their schit finally caught up with them or they were caught slipping. If my sister got out the hood, you better believe I’d be trying to get her to pay for my education or trade school, etc, to get me out the damn hood too. Aint nothing great about any hood. Nothing. Some people are good, but mostly, it’s crime ridden and bs n i gger mentalities. I want no part of it. Why? Cuz I don’t do n i gger ish.
his gf so pretty. condolences to her especially
Ctfu!!! You mad?
Why are you comparing us to White people. I don’t give two shits about what White people do to each other. It’s a moot point. TI’s comment spoke to how WE treat each other and it is the TRUTH. Who gives a fukk abt white on white crime!
No bitch, just learn your place; the bottom.
I knew you were. Lololololololo
Well said!
I couldn’t agree with your statements more. We are always looking for someone else to blame. We are our own worst enemies.
but white men are tho please don’t think that only black men are out her killing look at the data more black men might be in jail because that’s how the system was
God black people, we dont have to argue about every goddamz thing. Tip is right. He’s not the only black person to say the same thing. WE need to matter to us FIRST and FOREMOST.
Y’all feening, how do y’all know who killed them. It could be a person of any race. How do u know if the murderers was black. You don’t even know who murdered them. It could be anybody. Dont assume they was black without facts. Nobody know wuts behind the srory.
