identical. For example, Black Widow and Black Canary are two female superheroes from Marvel and DC graphic novels respectively. These two female crime fighters play key roles on their teams, have great skills, and are exceedingly agile. However, which character is the better superheroine?

Black Lives Matter which began as a hashtag, moved the black lives matter from a hashtag to the streets. Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes. It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within some Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cisgender Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and
life for black people in the United States of America that has always remained consistent is white racial hostility. A history of slavery, segregation, unequal protection of the law, and second class citizenship inflicted by a white power structure that dominates on a national level has created a harmful reality for black people. Every aspect of black public life must either be under the control of or in opposition to white supremacy. Every state-sanctioned institution works to use black bodies as
reflected the truth behind how white men feel about black men. From the Black Codes, to the Jim Crow segregation laws, to the war on drug policies, to stop and frisk, to now stand your ground there has been no evolution. Emmett Till, Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, and Justin Davis are all illustrations of this.” - David Banner David Banner’s statement speaks bounds of how society has progressed in attempts of ending discrimination against black bodies.

Black on Black crime, has always existed, just like any other group that commits crimes among each other. Wouldn 't it make sense that if black people live around other black people in "black neighborhoods", that they would most likely kill other black people? Doesn 't take a rocket scientist.

Black. A noun meaning a person belonging to a race of people who have dark skin : a black person. There is a stigma behind the word black as most non black people seem more comfortable with words such as African American or colored. Black seems blunt, in your face, politically incorrect even, but it is unapologetically exactly what I am. As a black person, most of my youth has been spent trying not to be defined by the color of my skin, but unlike Caucasian skin, it is something that cannot be ignored
To be sure, there were numerous black protests in the Americas as well. Revisionist historian Herbert Aptheker has done an admirable job of refuting the claim of many early white historians that slave rebellions were rare in the colonies, and that the black slaves were docile, disinterested, or indifferent to freedom. Neither slave songs nor folklore indicate that blacks either liked or were indifferent to slavery. Black ancestors took advantage of every opportunity to make it clear that they were
Black crimes in America are caused solely by the actions of black people. The previous statement is said throughout both rural and urban American, and it is based off of uneducated and racist ideologies.
