BLACK-ON-BLACK VIOLENCE: Philly Mayor Wants It to Stop

In a speech at the Aspen Institute, he said, “If the Ku Klux Klan killed 200 black men in the city of Philadelphia, I can assure you that we would be on lockdown. Every federal agency known to mankind would be up there trying to figure out what is going on. But 200 black men were killed in Philadelphia last year.”

Calling black-on-black violence "mass murder in slow motion," Nutter also called on the media to pay more attention to what's happening in the streets. “If it was a different kind of situation folks would be outraged."

The Angles:

• Do you agree with what Mayor Nutter is saying? 
• Some black folks don't agree that black-on-black violence even exists.
• Do you agree that the media isn't outraged by black-on-black violence? 
• Who's responsibility is it to stop black on black violence? The government's? The media's? The communities'? 
• Mr. Mayor, last we checked, you're in charge of the police.
