Our communities, the black community, are some of the most violent and crime infested communities in the nation. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever. We can change this reality. It won’t happen overnight, but we can turn things around.
First, we need to acknowledge that the people who rob, carjack, murder, assault, or rape are not our brothers, sisters, or our friends. These are thugs. These are enemies of the black community, and they should be treated like enemies. These thugs are fundamentally no different than racist who attack black people. Bottom line, we can no longer afford to be soft on hardened criminals irrespective of their race.
Snitching is one of several ways we can take back our communities. But snitching is just another word for doing the right thing.
Here’s something to thing about. What if your sister, mother or daughter was brutally raped or carjacked? What if someone saw what happened? If someone saw what happened, wouldn’t you want that person to tell the police who hurt your loved ones?
Every day, people are robbed, stabbed, shot, murdered, raped, or carjacked. They have loved ones, just like you. Don’t you think they also would want someone to tell the police who committed a crime against their loved ones?
Not surprisingly, thugs are the only people who oppose doing the right thing, or snitching. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. But, if we want to live in a safe and secure neighborhood or city, all of us have to man-up and woman-up. Otherwise, criminals will continue to escape justice and continue committing crimes because no one wanted to snitch.
AN EXAMPLE OF A COMMUNITY DOING THE RIGHT THING
Just over a year ago, in Macomb County, in Michigan, a 14-year-old white girl was found murdered. In response, the police received over 600 tips. The people in that mostly white Detroit suburb, who provided the tips, didn’t worry about being called a snitch. A horrible crime had been committed in their community, and they wanted the person who did it to be caught.
The people in that city in Macomb County had set a standard of decency for their community, and they were not going to accept anything less. We should do the same thing.
We should ask ourselves, “Why aren’t urban residents just as responsive to crime as the people in suburban Macomb County? Are Whites more willing to fight crime than you?
Snitching is just one way to make communities safer. To be totally effective, the people in the community will need to form partnerships with the police, and we need to start neighborhood patrol groups.
We cannot make the police the enemy, be soft of criminals, refuse to snitch, and be surprised our communities are infected by crime. That’s delusional.
Snitching has been useful to fight racial discrimination:
If it wasn’t for so-called snitches, many employment and housing discrimination lawsuits never would have been proven.
If it wasn’t for snitches:
• Racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan could not have been infiltrated and prosecuted.
• So-called snitches have been used to bring down corrupt politicians and drug smugglers.
• Snitching resulted in the capture and murder of Osama bin Laden and Saddan Hussain.
One of the most powerful ways to deal with crime is for people to do what’s right, or snitch. They mean the same thing. When citizens work with the police and do what’s right, their communities will become safer, because criminals will know they can no looking act with impunity.
For every crook, there are thousands of good people, but good people act as if the numbers were reversed. Good people have to stand up and band together against crooks who have destroyed so many neighborhoods. All of us can do something even if it’s just an anonymous phone call.
Criminals may be low-lifes, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. They have cleverly and successfully made it seem almost unpatriotic and uncool for people to do what’s right and report crime. It’s one of the oldest con jobs under the Sun. Only criminals benefit from a no snitching practice.
