And it is hilarious that he acts like white people SHOULDN'T know what the black community is doing about crime at the same time that white people are getting criticized for "not knowing what is going on in black neighborhoods."  You can't have it both ways.  You can't call white people uncaring for not knowing something and then get mad when they ask about something.  If black people are going to demand that white people stand up with them and help them then they are going to have to tell us what the problem is.

Well, if the ask is "why aren't blacks concerned about black on black violence," that is really a rhetorical question, not a question at all. I can see why black activists/educators might get made about that. And the anger is then about what whites COULD know but don't--and ignore because they think they already know.

Harriot was telling us what the problem is, or at least a part of it.
