Black On Black Crime Growing In Memphis

Memphis- It's a subject most people don't like to talk about, but many in the African American community say black on black crime in Memphis is out of control.

"I hate to hear breaking news cause I always think who got killed this time," said Hickory Hill homeowner Freddie Askew.

What angers Freddie Askew even more is that the number of African American victims keeps piling up.

"Jim Crow didn't destroy us, racism didn't destroy us, it is us destroying us," said Askew.

This isn't a hot topic, is it? The problem isn't just Memphis, of course. It's the same all over the U.S. A few people talk about it, very few, but basically it's simply ignored. While I think it is incumbent on blacks to take the lead in talking about the problem it is the responsibility of all of us to look at the conditions and programs that contribute to the problem and do something.
