The national uproar of citizen protest against police brutalization of black suspects have now achieved a unique distinction by including several leading medical universities. We are clearly at a watershed moment revealing no signs of dissipation.

However, on no protesting lips do we hear the one single ugliest element of American criminality that shames our nation as does no other, which is the contemptuously disgraceful specter of what is commonly called "black-on-black crime." The National Crime Victimization Survey established in 1972 irrefutably established that black Americans are nine times likelier to be violently affronted by other blacks than white Americans are likely to be victimized by other whites.

The United States suffers the highest criminal violence rate in the world and more than half of all reported victims are black. The gargantuan number of black people killed by their own race overwhelmingly dwarfs the number killed by police. That is the proverbial "elephant in the room" that nobody, not even cops, dares mention in our polluted atmosphere of political correctness.

That people as wantonly victimized by violence as are African-Americans should prefer to prioritize the demonization of their solitary guardians is a fascinating sociological phenomenon. As they say, irony abounds.
