The Washington Post is usually squeamish about reporting on black mob violence. But at least one of its contributors is not.
That is how we learned the reason why a group of 12 black people robbed and murdered a man at a Washington Metro station in November.
Otherwise, it could have been like the T-shirt says: “It’s a black thing. You wouldn’t understand.”
Before we get to the The Root article to explain it all from “an African-American perspective,” let’s turn to the U.S. Attorney for a few details of this lethal episode of racial violence.
It was a Friday night. And 12 black people from Maryland decided they were going to rob someone. An iPhone if they could. But with 12 people to share the loot, no one pretended this was just about money.
So they set out for a night of mayhem from the Metro Station in Hyattsville, Md.: Squirrel, J.R. Vez, Man Man, Isaiah, A.W., D.T. and others whose names we do not know because they are charged as juveniles. Squirrel had the gun.
First they needed a soft target. The Adams Morgan entertainment district of the nation’s capital had the two necessary advantages: Public transportation and a plethora of affluent victims that would not fight back.

““We must try to understand the context that produced it. It isn’t simply that these young black men are evil. In so many ways, we have failed them. I am not absolving them of their responsibility for the crime. I am simply holding us responsible for the world that produced them.”
Umm.....not sure if I agree with that.
I don’t buy that apologist garbage at all.
So they were from Maryland, not DC. I wonder which county.
Some say we’ll be like Greece. I think USA might have some very unique problems with these thugs around if they don’t get their welfare check?
WE didn’t fail crap the Black community has failed it’s own!
I am absolutely sure that I don't agree with it.
if this is true, this excuse can be used by everyone. which makes it entirely meaningless.
Am I to assume the victim is white?
Oh so all this violence is just cathartic for oppressed blacks?

Per the Metro map, there's an easy transfer point from the Green Line (Prince George's County) at Fort Totten, to the Red Line (Woodley Park - Adams Morgan).
Here in the SF Bay Area, BART is known for being a conduit for crime, unfortunately. Anecdotally I've seen a spike in problems on the "spare the air" days when pubic transit was offered free of charge. I think some management types decided "spare the air" was good, but better when disengaged from the offer of a free bus or BART ride.
the writer assumes blacks couldn’t take care of themselves. how....racist of the author. blacks were just fine as a community before the great welfare state run, expanded, and preserved, by white liberals and black socialists, destroyed their culture by removing black men from the house and destroying the black family. now we have feral packs of fatherless males and baby making welfare mamas as the norm for the “black culture” in urban areas.
No shortage of black racist crime against whites though
Been an issue in my world since early 80s
Dumb whitebread hipsters seem to have just caught on
Must be a yankee preachy thing
Our moderates have most come back to FR....skunks they are
Nowhere to anti freep
Bet they hate this whole notion

Go to hell, Eddie. People who “think” like you are a huge part of the problem. Flippin’ moron.
You should write him or email him.
You are absolutely right.
People who excuse these predators because they are black, and make up excuses for them by saying WE have failed them are a great part of the problem.
There are thousands of them and they are all Obama voters.
White guilt. Anyone without white guilt is considered a racist.
Zimbabwe, South Africa........we’re right behind ya!
Be careful. Everytime I mention Zimbabwe or Robert Mugabe I am labeled a racist.
The media protects and coddles criminals because it is on their side and approves of what they do.
