A Real Issue .
Black On Black rrimp
by Kenyon C. Burke
Special To The Post
Why are the streets of our
communities plagued with ra
pes and muggings .in addition
to stealing what few posses
sions we have been able to
acquire for our homes? Who is
responsible and whom should
we look to for portection?
Is there something unique
about the balck community
that insists criminal acts a
gainst each other must con
tinue to make streets unsafe
for all, be they young, elderly,
male, female, of whatever ra
cial, ethnic or economic stat
us?
Reports of three separate
instances recently crossed my
desk stimulating these ques
tions. An article appeared in
the Newark Star Ledger (N.
J.) announcing that the local
chapter of the National Assoc
iation for the Advancement of
Colored People was changing
their meeting time and place
from the afternoon in their
recently acquired building lo
cated in the black south ward
to the downtown headquarters
of the YM-YWCA. Fear of
personal safety was sighted as
the reason for this change.
A black physician serving
the black community making
house calls to those who were
unable to travel to his office
was robbed so many times
that he was forced to purchase
two Doberman Pinscher dogs
for protection in order that he
could continue to make his
rounds.
A minister of a black church
in St. Albans, New York repor
ted that car theft, along with
stealing of tires and other
accessories reached such a
peak that the church has to
employ security guards to wa
tch the cars during services on
Sunday mornings.
The fact that one is no lon
ger able to safely attend a
NAACP meetjng and be assu
red that a doctor is permitted
to attend the sick without be
ing assaulted or just go to
church without being ripped
off, signals the seriousness of
the problem.
Of course, there are those
who would quickly argue that
these conditions are the result
of living in a racist society
that deprives us of equal op
portunity in jobs, education,
housing, health care and dou
ble standard of justice.
Somehow that type of ex
planation falls short of exlain
wives, sisters, brothers and
cousins are continuous vic
tims of personal assaults and
other often vicious crimes in
our own neighborhoods.
These conditions tend to
make a mockery of those most
deeply held values that saw
us through our very troubled
past such as love and respect
for those individuals and insti
tutions which were so impor
tant to our survival.
Fortunately, several com
munities across the country
are beginning to face some of
these realities and have initi
ated grass roots efforts in
organizing to counteract this
menance. Common themes
are beginning to emerge thro
ughout these organizing ef
forts are 1) while the police
have the ultimate responsibli
ty for reducing and containing
crime, the residents of the
community must not expect
them to do the job without
commuity assistance;
2) that the community must
take separate actions (from
the police) to get the kind of
neighborhood they want; and
3) that a community education
effort is necessary to get peo
ple to stop buying stolen goods
and thereby not contribute to
rewarding crime. .
