The point of noting black on black crime is because certain segments of the Black community would have everyone believe that it's whites killing blacks, especially white cops killing black men. Whites did terrible things to blacks in the past, no doubt about it. But great strides have been made in eliminating that and making life fair for all groups. But that doesn't sell when certain groups are trying to get power. Fear sells. When prominent blacks say they feel like they can be hurt just leaving their house they have been sold on this idea and if they believe it and express it average blacks are going to believe it too.
