Chicago Blacks

For the past 30 months innocent civilians in Sudan have been killed because of civil unrest. This is not prominent in the news and a deep search must be done to find out what is happening. Here are a couple of reports. Briefing ambassadors in the Security Council, the UN’s top relief official Tom Fletcher said “women and girls are being raped, people being mutilated and killed – with utter impunity,” adding: “We cannot hear the screams, but – as we sit here today – the horror is continuing.” “Tens of thousands of terrified, starving civilians have fled or are on the move,” Mr. Fletcher said. “Those able to flee – the vast majority women, children, and the elderly – face extortion, rape and violence on the perilous journey.” Some have suggested that this is not considered worthwhile news because the people are black. Once again it is case of Black lives don’t matter. On a much smaller scale this is happening in US cities. In Chicago in 2024 438 Blacks and 111 Hispanics were murdered while during this same time period 23 Whites were murdered. These statistics are buried in the back pages of the news. Once again, the question arises, would reporting be different if 500 Whites had been murdered.
