Do people of color actually take matters into their own hands?
Irrelevant, my comment is about white people taking matters into their own hands by torturing and murdering black people, which is a specific case of the comment about communities enforcing laws for themselves. Speak to that, or go elsewhere to ask about other forms of vigilante justice.
There is an incredible amount of violent crime in black communities that other black people have done nothing to mitigate.
I am not in the mood to rehash the “black-on-black violence, what are black people doing about it” trope. It is not my responsibility to pivot to discussing your pet topic given that I was talking about lynching.
This is a blatant example of “whataboutism” rhetoric, and I’m not going to play along.

- maxerickson 5y agoThere's some ambiguity in the second paragraph of your first comment. I believe you are describing lynching there, but it is also possible to read it as a description of present day communities.
- a4isms 5y agoOk, I’ll adjust it. Thank you.
