In a game of "change the subject," Ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuiliani appeared on NBC's Meet the Press and stated vehemently that the REAL problem these days is "black on black violence," which has nothing to do with the topic he was discussion, which was Ferguson, Missouri, in which a WHITE cop shot down a black unarmed kid, which has led to white police harrassing black protestors.
From MSNBC
The conversation erupted when “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd began discussing the disproportion of white police forces to the communities they serve in areas across the U.S. aside from Ferguson, including Newark, New Jersey and El Paso, Texas. ”All of those places could become future Fergusons,” Todd said.
Giuliani quickly pivoted the conversation, arguing “the fact is, I find it very disappointing that you’re not discussing the fact that 93% of blacks in America are killed by other blacks. We’re talking about the exception here.”
Georgetown Professor Michael Eric Dyson chimed in, saying “First of all, most black people who commit crimes against other black people go to jail. Number two, they are not sworn by the police department as an agent of the state to uphold the law. So in both cases, that’s a false equivalency that the mayor has drawn, which has exacerbated tensions deeply embedded in American culture.”
...“What about the poor black child that is killed by another black child? Why aren’t you protesting that?” Giuliani asked.
“Those people go to jail!” Dyson fired back.
“White police officers won’t be there if you weren’t killing each other 70% of the time,” Giuliani added, as Todd attempted to ease the heated volley.
“This is a defense mechanism of white supremacy at work in your mind, sir,” Dyson replied.

— BWD (@theonlyadult) November 24, 2014Hey Rudy Giuliani, most white murder victims are killed by whites. Cops don't swarm white neighborhoods looking for white-on-white killers.

— Raw Story (@RawStory) November 24, 2014Every time a white cop/vigilante kills a black kid, racist asshats like Giuliani trot out "what about black on black crime." Every. Time.

— Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) November 24, 2014Seriously, how much of a White supremacist do you have to be to actually believe that murder is something only Black people commit? WTF?!
— Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) November 24, 2014Add White on White crime to your lexicon, because it's a thing too. Just FYI.
— Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) November 24, 2014Racists are quick to scream Black on Black crime, but when you mention mass shooters' White on White crime they go dead silent. Telling.
