    call me crazy, but i would want to find justice on someone if they killed my kids/bestfriend/boyfriend/family etc.

    i think its a positve way to put people where they belong.

    Is this dude crazy??? Just sit back and think about it…If people “start snitchin”, I don’t know about you but around my parts…there will be a load of bodies just laying around the neighborhood. Promoting the slogan “Start Snitchin” is ridiculous because it damages the black community because we are most likely the main cause of crime..but if we start snitching there will be more retaliation. We have a African American serving the highest rank in America, so what we wanna do is bring the community together and try promoting our youth to be better people by going and staying in school. Instead of joining the Bloods or the Crips, because it leads to nothing but jail, prison or death. Trust me, because I’ve been there.

    Im sorry but if I see someone committ murder right before my very eyes then Im letting the police know exactly what I saw. If I have to move or hide then so be it. Snitching is just another way fear is instilled in us so we will forget our responsibility to ourselves and to each other. Whatever happend to looking out for one another, caring about the next person. This is a damn shame. Call me a snitch if you want…..oh well but I will be able to sleep at night guilt free.

    I’m stuck between the two. Snitch or be quiet? I know if it was a child or one of my loved ones who were the victim then I would mos def step up to the plate. This question really makes you dig deep into yourself. On the other hand we are so use to minding our own business to protect ourselves and our loved ones. It is very fearful to have that kind of responsibility on your shoulders. What to do? SNITCH OR BE QUIET? I know which one is right but I also know which one is safe! But is playing it safe always the best thing?. I just don’t know. I guess I will have to be put into the situation to really be able to decide!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nondescript000/ nondescript000

    I’ll snitch to high heaven if I have to. I don’t care whether I’m threatened or not, I’d rather die fighting for truth and justice then be quiet and live in guilt and fear. We have to stop these punks who are ruining the lives in the black community. The Cosa Nostra aka Sicilian Mafia have ruined and continue to ruin the lives of many in Italy and Sicily specifically and most businesses and government functions are held hostage by their criminal activities and threat of retaliation. We don’t need that kind of mentality here..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/510BlockRastah/ 510BlockRastah

    All yall are stupid specially the black community they don’t know the differences between snitching and doing there up standing citizen rites. Let me break it down if you are in the life of crime and something happens your not suppose to tell the cops nothing because your in that lifestyle and more then likely your going held your own business. Now if you are just a regular person that goes to school and work and such then your suppose to go to the police cause your not in that lifestyle because you are following the law its just that Popular culture for blacks is hip hop(Rap) which has messed up all this little squares minds to thinking there gangsta cause they listen to the hottest artist on the screen who more then likely is lying about what he has done in his raps and making black people think that they suppose to not snitch if they are not in the criminal lifestyle what a shame

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/headbussa_misha/ headbussa_misha

    al sharpton is the police dont snitch just because a police will try to cath a black man doing wrong before he even try to catch a white one prime example you know what dui is well look up dwb driving while black colleges have did studies on this matter of fact i learned in college that a cop will stop a black man before a white based on sterotypes so i say dont snitch util everything is equal they the police let them do their job

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jayhoage25/ jayhoage25

    this has to be the dumbest slogan ever. He needs to pick something better..Nobody likes a snitch

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/flyy_mami_2004/ flyy_mami_2004

    In order for this to work, there has to be a more efficient and enforceable way to protect the innocent people in the community.

    P.S.
    I am tired of the stigma placed on snitching. People who are on that “nobody likes a snitch” soapbox are simple and may be going nowhere fast. If you are doing something that I perceive as possibly harmful to me/my kin like selling guns on the street, and that thing can be punishable by law, I have every right to “snitch” on you; YOU SHOULDN’T BE DOING WRONG!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SaphfireDove619/ SaphfireDove619

    We have to take responsibility for taking care of out community. Our children. Nobody will care for you if you don’t care for yourself. Although when we were kids, were told not to “tattletale,” we’re not talking about childhood pranks. We are now talking about felonious behavior. When it’s your family, you want someone to stand up, then you have to reciprocate. Being a mature adult also includes being having a moral code of conduct.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/alpha111906/ alpha111906

    wake up the uneducated. There is nothing wrong with “snitching”. Stop acting like children. Criminals will keep murdering because they know that the idiots in the community won’t snitch. Anyone watch that episode of the Boondocks? Yep, I didn’t know how stupid black people can be…I thought that was fiction, but I guess we all see why blacks love to stay poor, uneducated, and oppressed. WAKE UP. SNITCH!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cayenne86/ cayenne86

    oh my goodness people.. we need to start opening up our mouths and speaking out against violence as a community. We don’t say anything out of fear. If more people spoke up, there would be less crime because no one wants to get caught. Our communities are horrible and they’re that way because our communities have stopped speaking up for ourselves.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Legs4Weeks/ Legs4Weeks

    Maybe the slogan can be worded better but the idea is excellent. Others have commented that there will be dead bodies piling up and that snitching is stupid. Living near Chicago, and having neighbors being killed while doing nothing wrong, I think that “snitching” is the best thing a person can do. I am more afraid to not tell what I see because if he shot my neighbor for no reason why wouldn’t he shoot me? A criminal is a criminal and very rarely do they follow the code of conduct anymore. With anyone being fair game we as a community need to stand together to protect ourselves, our parents, and our children.

    On new year’s eve i witnessed a guy that i met in the club get gunned down in his car… over a GIRL…. Where I am from i know snitching would get you six feet under but i snitched that night… the killers saw me and most likely know that i told… i even testified against them… they could have had me killed but i felt good that two killers would be behind bars… just stand up for whats right… we can’t hide forever…

    I AGREE WITH HIM!!!! WE CAN’T HOLD BACK SO CRIMINALS CAN CONTINUE ON WITH WHAT THEY DO!!! WHETHER YOU SNITCH OR NOT, MURDERER OR A CRIMINAL WILL COME @ YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!! CUZ IT’S LIKE THIS, IF THEY FEEL LIKE YOUR GONNA SNITCH LATER ON, THEY’LL GET RID OF YOU. IF YOU DO SNITCH, THEY STILL CAN GET YOU!!! AND PERSONALLY I FEEL LIKE THIS….. IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIER GONNA GET YOU CUZ YOU SNITCHED…. THEN YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN GOD IF YOU NEVA HAVE B4. GOD IS REAL AND CAN PROTECT YOU BETTER THAN ANY MAN CAN!!! AND IF YOU’RE ALREADY A CHRISTIAN, THEN YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS YOUR BACK AND ALLOWS THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND IF IT’S YA TIME TO GO, THEN BE RIGHT WITH THE LORD!!! ALSO, LATER ON IN LIFE, IF YOU WITH HOLD INFO, THAT’S MOST DEF GONNA HAUNT YOU!!!

    Snitch to who-Whitey? Al Sharpton is a Turd. He fkin down with Cointelpro-fkin sellout. He’s been getting paid to get black folk arrested doing those protests for decades.

    Him and Jesse always kissing and hugging Bush and Clinton n tryna get a piece of the spotlight. They’re on the Mans payroll. I consider them an enemy to the black community. Whoever follows these ppl that dont give a damn about you but use their own ppl for a profit are idiots sorry but your getting played.

    personally, i would rather work to get our streets clean and rid of violence versus BS-ing myself into thinking that keeping my mouth shut about violence committed by black folks is the better way to go. if that means i have to work with white people to do it, then so be it. at least they have a plan to get and keep streets clean versus the rappers who want to brag about their criminal pasts but don’t want to get caught or the sissy ass felons who want to commit crimes but try to strike fear into their neighborhoods about not “snitching”. its retarded.. people want to have a safe neighborhood and want their children or themselves not to be treated like criminals but they don’t want to do the work to get that beautiful future.

    im tired of black people. i really am. stop b***hing about crime if you aren’t going to do s**t about it. if you won’t be apart of the solution, then you must be apart of the problem.. so get off Al’s back and shut the hell up.. if you don’t like his efforts, then what the hell are you doing to help?? NOT A DAMN THING..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mrsdrobinson/ mrsdrobinson

    All I know is Snitches get stitches or like the great Nate Robinson said, “Snitches get they tongues cut out”! Most people aren’t gonna open their mouths about anything unless it pertains to themselves or thier families.

    @nondescript000 Your clearly uneducated and ignorant to the truth. Dont attack me-ask yourself if these folks are so helpful to our community-why havent we as a whole progressed from their efforts. While your @ it-read a damn book and google Cointelpro because while your running your mouth-you probably dont even know what it is. Get a damn mind of your own and do your reseach cause Ive done mine. I dont talk out my ass Im stating recorded Fact. Talk about ignorant-look in a damn mirror buddy.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/such_a_fn_lady/ such_a_fn_lady

    @nondescript000 Just to give you a head start- Cointelpro is what spread drugs and guns in the black community. Black Agents working for Govt. to help bring our people down. Wake yourself up from the bubble sweetie-its whats killing us and constantly placing black men in jail just to name a few. On that note-go ahead and follow Al and see where it gets you. I could care less about ppl who refuse to educate themselves and want to attack other ppl for speaking the truth. Ppl who are swayed by popular opinion are usually led in the wrong direction. Have a nice day.

    Ya’ll just dont understand how this system works. SMH. The welfare mentality will always depend on THEM to ‘keep our streets clean’ and to allow them to feed us what we need like children. When are WE gonna take responsibility for our own streets-our own community-start owning land-building our own homes-growing our own food-etc. This slave mentality is never ending. Get the hell off the plantation so we can have our own shyt!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xxkrystallinaxx/ xxkrystallinaxx

    Are Jazz and nondescript the only educated ppl here? What ignorant person thinks that keeping our mouth closed when young black people are brutally murdered is the right thing to do? If that’s the case, we don’t need Jesse Jackson bringing us down, as you may think. We’d be doing it to ourselves. “Snitching gets people stitches”? Oh my Lord… Whose side are you on? All of you who make uneducated statements like that, really, whose side are you on? You can’t be serious?! Please tell me you’re not serious!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/such_a_fn_lady/ such_a_fn_lady

    @ xxkrystallinaxx You’ve got it all wrong luv. We Know that whoever killed someone needs to go to jail. But @ another black male or whoevers expense and especially if one is not sure if the right person is gonna go down for the crime or more black ppl can be killed behind it?

    Did we forget about the young man in GA who was sentenced to death recently and was in jail for yrs behind a crime he didnt commit and got ‘snitched’ on by the actual killer. Even when it was proven he didnt do it by eye witnesses who were coerced by the cops cause “they dont care which ‘n**ger’ goes to jail as long as they can get rid of a few. And they dont care if the real murderer is still out of jail cause maybe he’ll make Their job easier and kill a few more of his own kind. THIS is the problem my dear. A corrupt and Unjust system that doesn’t really care and would much rather see black folk killed and the rest in jail.

    Yes the victim needs justice-but @ what cost? Its really much more complex than it seems and with the Constitution currently Null and void a fair trial in any circ**stance black or white is scarce and iffy. This is the real world and you need to know whats going on in it. Superficial judgement w.o. details based on facts and reality spells trouble. I have a defgree in Paralegal so know alot about the Justice system..do u?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ebony_Punk_Princess/ Ebony_Punk_Princess

    The thing with snitching is that yeah you can get mofos locked you and off the streets and if enough people do it in one community yeah you will see an improvement, problem is you will also more than likely see a decline in the community’s population because retaliation is inevitable and people will lose their lives, people will lose loved ones, people are just not willing to go through such things. A more effective route would be if people raised their children right, stop shaking you asses in the club (and i say this because most parents these days are fairly young and had children before they completed their youth and fun) and realize that you have responsibilities now. Then maybe just maybe more kids will be in school and not on corners, and killing each other, and other B.S., and if fathers would stop running away from their duties, people might just have a chance at life!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nondescript000/ nondescript000

    @such_a_fn_lady…
    You think a paralegal degree gives you the authority to know how the system works….you’re a legal assistant..not a lawyer… Well let me give you a little education. I hold dual law degrees in law degree in Criminal and Defense Law and I definitely know the history of how the justice systems is skewered against minorities in this country. I am an active member of ‘The Innocence Project’ (www.innocenceproject.org) which helps overturn unfair convictions using DNA evidence. I don’t need a misspelled education from you about the history of justice in this country. I’ve lived it. I have also lost a half brother and two first cousins to gang violence in the my ‘hood so I know first hand what I am talking about when I am addressing this topic.
    It’s one thing to rail against the injustices of the legal system that’s broken, it’s quite another to encourage the continued violence rote on our black community. Your ignorance, stupidity and callousness is amazing even for one who claims to be a “paralegal”. You are the one who needs education, get your head out of your @$$ and stop making excuses for the killing of people.

    No I am not racist nor do I believe that someone has the right to kill and get away with it. But i believe this is touching something broader and I feel strongly that I am correct. If you disagree thats cool, but form an educated opinion b4 u judge my comments by reading here. Thanks.

    @such_a_fn_lady..
    I read your blog and I made a quick comment. However, your initial comments here were irresponsible and that got me heated. I have read comments from others that are really ignorant and I see why in 2010 we are still where we are.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/such_a_fn_lady/ such_a_fn_lady

    @nondescript000 Where did I ever “encourage the continued violence rote on our black community?” or say that it was ok to do so?

    I understand this is a touchy subject and it can get emotional-but throwing insults @ me and being petty clearly displays your immaturity and Ignorance. You dont know me @ all. Paralegals do a majority of legal work for Lawyers dear-so therefore spend more time with the work on a more personal level. You should know that if your involved. And thats not to discredit the yrs of Law school a lawyer must partake in-but my lawyer professors have admitted that they dont remember shyt after they get out of law school and have to re-learn through experience. They go to their Paralegal to Re-site what they must prepare. An Educated fool is still a fool. Education doesnt alot common sense and some folk are just good at memorization long enough to pass an exam or prepare for a case ‘Performance’-so come again luv.

    I am not your enemy-so attacking me is futile. I am for the empowerment of our ppl and standing together as a ppl-so since you know so much about how this system is “skewered” you should understand @ least partially where some of us are coming from on the Snitching topic. Getting all twisted up and attacking me because I am stating an educated judgment-whether you agree or not is counter-productive.

    If you cant state your opinion without being pompous throughout your whole post-then your just spewing hot air. I have stated clearly why I feel the way I feel. I am not asking you to agree-nor do I care whether you agree-that is your individual right-since you have your own thought process. But you are wrong to attack me for having my own thought process or attempting to discredit my statement by making a back hand statement that I am ignorant when you dont know me or how intelligent I am.

    I am not your average my dear and take pride in the fact that I take the time to Read, learn and evaluate before forming a judgement or opinion. I didnt say that I was a Paralegal out of arrogance-but rather to state that I have knowledge of the system. Your attitude toward me is unnecessary in order to state your case. And furthermore I find it interesting that I am your main focus when I am not the first or the only one who stated they don’t agree with the ‘Snitching’ idea. You have proved yourself ignorant just by the blatant name calling with no basis on fact to back your claim. I suppose you know my GPA now too huh. Puleese. I have no respect for someone(especially one who claims to be a lawyer-laughable) who makes an insult but no viable argument to back it up. Isnt that what lawyers do?? I think you need a new day job buddy.

    @nondescript000 Well like I said I understand this is a touchy subject and can get emotional-for me included. So i take no offense to you getting ‘heated’. But it is wrong to call ppl ignorant off of a short statement without clearly knowing where they’re coming from.

    No hard feelings. If you are angry or disagree it will have to ramain that way. But I stand by my opinion wholeheartedly as is my right. You have the right to yours as well. Peace.

    No hard feelings either, we can agree to disagree.
    As for calling people ignorant, i’m actually calling their statements ignorant especially if there’s not background information that goes along with it. An ignorant statement is just that, ignorant.
    I subscribe to what Chris Rock said once which is that they should make bullets crazy expensive like $5000.00 and that would significantly lower gun violence since people would think twice before shooting with an expensive bullet.

    I agree, think about it, two children died! I know people care, but the question is are they scared the person who did it will come back for them, which they can’t if they are locked up, OR if they just don’t want to “snitch” and i’m not trying to be rude but some people may just wait to tell what happend AFTER the reward is raised past $20,000 dollars. Just for the money.

    The bottom line is if you see something in your community and it affects the community including the livelihood of your family it’s your duty to report crime. Not to snitch only encourages crime. Look some people just don’t care about nobody not even their families. So you think they care about you? People say they fear that snitching will lead to other violence but not snitching will lead to further violence. Develop some courage and clean the community up or just leave the community if you are afraid to snitch. Why live in fear. But also realize that the next victim could be you are your love ones. Be Blessed and Save your community.

    Snitching is never a good idea. Especially when you have heartless people out there who wouldn’t think twice to end someone’s life (i.e. Ava). People as selfish as it may seem, will not put themselves in harms way and become selfless and speak up about what they know. It seems like the philosophy of anti-snitching only applies to those who are ex-gang members on Gangland.

    Yes snitching can save our community. But once you snitch, Who’s going to save you?

    F**k the dumb s**t.This isn’t TV.This isn’t a movie.Somebody murders my neighbor, family member or anyone….and I know who did it…f**k it..I’m singin like a bird.
    Now if you are going to jail and you’re offered a plea and you take it so you can tell on your charge partner…you’re weak…but if you see a murder and don’t say anything…you’re just as weak!

    Mr_Midwest2 lol that was a good answer and question. Who’s going to save you being a SNITCH. THATS SO SMART!

    A snitch is not the same as an informant. A snitch is a rat, a criminal that is too weak to do the time for the crimes they committed. Sharpton needs to know what he’s asking of people. If a criminal snitches on his cohorts it doesn’t mean he is such a good and holy person that he wants to help the police. For instance, if a child molester knows info about a serial killer and snitches on him and is set free…is your community any safer? If you think so then you have serious issues. All it would mean is that you won’t be murdered BY HIM but your children are still at risk. Think about it for a second.

    Lets just remember who we’re snitching to: The same system who will shoot and taser an innocent black man and let the accused(police) get away with it. The same system that lets an innocent black male be sentenced to death even when they find out he didnt do it. Am I the only 1 who sees a problem with this?

    The Gazelle running to the Lion to tell the Lion who killed his buddy. Im not saying its right not to report crime in a Just system-but if they are not coming forth chances are theres a legitimate reason. One being They Dont Trust This System That Has it Out For Their Kind Perhaps & that Doesn’t give a Damn About Them or seeing another black person criminalized.

    They may be afraid that if they go to report the crime they may be Accused of committing the crime. Police do shyt like that ya know-accuse the innocent. Lets remember they dont really care which one goes down as long as one more is dead or in jail to fund their prison system.

    When this system starts treating our people fairly then maybe more folk will trust them in a situation like this. Noone wants to get their ass beat in interrogation to “admit that they did it” just so the police have someone to blame. That 20k is a hoax-lame bait. And Al Sharpton has been sending his own ppl to jail for decades.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blacktino007/ blacktino007

    I think whats missing here is what exactly IS a Snitch: Another criminal that tells on another criminal for whatever reason. Thats just disgusting, and its going to get you F@cked up in most places.

    That being said, if you are just a regular witness, and NOT a CRIMINAL, you have every right to report what you have seen, and its these people that live in fear or are just to callous to report crimes to the police that is the problem that needs to be addressed.

    To those talking about protection, I don’t need it. I don’t have any qualms about puting a few bullets in anyone, anytime or anyplace – in defense of myself or my family. LOL I also am not out in the streets commiting crime, so if i see YOU doing some sh*t around me, you best belive its going to get reported.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blacktino007/ blacktino007

    I agree…as far as criminal to criminal…I’m guessing it’s a code amongst thieves, but me not being of the sort. I’m straight up telling! I have a community I live in. Children and some respectable and decent people. No one wants to deal with the extra unnecessary. So when the extra unnecessary presents itself in front of me, I’m trying to stop it the best way I can. I show no loyalty to anyone trying to take away from people that worked hard the right way to get what they have. I promote snitching to the fullest and show no fear about it.

    If somebody bodies my moms or pops or someone close to me and some one saw it i dont care about no rule or stupid street code i wanna know who did it. “No Snitching” is code that most people dont even live by. Besides REAL snitching is when you are doing something illegal and someone else is doing the same thing your doin. you rat to the cops cuz they hustling better than you. to stop them you run to the cops so you can get their business or clients thats real snitchin. i dont care its a new day we got a black presidents and we need to stop being niggas and start being people. ya’ll niggas act like if this was ya kid bro or sis and somebody knows what happened ya’ll be like “dont say nothing cuz your snitchin” “dont tell the cops who killed my lil bro” stop being so ignorant lame ass fake ass niggas. its time to grow up. dumb ass niggas.

    I believe it was rapper/actor Ice-T who said that most folks in the streets had it all wrong about the “Stop Snitching” meme. It wasn’t always about keeping silent to the police or providing witness information to law enforcement in terms of violent crimes or thefts against others. According to T, ‘stop snitching’ was originally a code amongst low level street dealers keeping quiet and not giving potentially crooked cops leads. With the popularity of the sloganed T-shirts, apparently folks got the wrong message.

    Man, I say snitch, snitch, snitch, and snitch. I ain’t lying to law enforcement, and I’m certainly not going to keep quiet when I see wrong going down. The last thing our communities need is UN-cooperation in curbing crime.

    THE WORD SNITCH …. MAYBE ANOTHER WORD..WILL APPEAR FEARLESS N POSITIVE….. HOW ABOUT….WITNESS CONFESSION…… I READ ALL THE COMMENTS A LOT IS WILLING TO DO THE HUMAN THING…… THE REST FINDING ALL SORT OF RUBBISH…. EXCUSES MAYBE BECAUSE SOME OF YOU COMMITTED SICK CRIMES…. IF YOUR GOING TO BE A WITNESS…. SEEK OUT A LAWYER ADVISE… AND DONT ATTEND POLICE STATION BY YOURSELF….. YOU PPL HAVE NO STRATEGY AT ALL….. THERE IS NO REASON IN THE WORLD…. TO NOT REPORT A CRIME… ESPECIALLY THESE TYPE OF CRIME

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AngryCornflakes/ AngryCornflakes

    Well i am conflicted on this one … first off i had been involved at a time where i was asked to be a “witness” cuz my house was broken into so i called to police and told them EVERYTHING i knew which was barely anything at all and i asked them to dust my house for finger prints the two officers that came simple dusted 4 areas and by areas i mean FLAT SURFACES when my ENTIRE house was turned inside out and told me that’s the extent of their “dusting” and it only gets more “detailed” when someone is actually “Hurt” my mother was distraught on the couch and this is the “protect and serve” that they offered me?? Meaning that i would have to be killed or my family hurt before they would make an attempt to stop something like this from reoccurring?? SOOOO i took matters into my own hands as far as “protection” a year or two later i was attacked and was stabbed twice then at the hospital i encountered 2 more officers who while i lay bleeding out asked me a series of questions repeatedly and in different ways. AGAIN the questions really had less to do with helping me catch the attackers and more to do with “filling out a report”…… Now you may judge me as you will but i’ve never did a crime i didnt have to do (take that as you may) i’ve NEVER been “locked up” for a crime other than being “black/male/5’11″ on any given day so my interaction with cops are minimal and unjustified and MOST if not all of the officers i have encountered have already been taught to be biased whether to be my skin or the situation. SO to tell a man coming from where im from, dealing with what i deal with is damn near impossible. Police are taught to “read” situations. They are also taught (subliminally) that the majority of black males are hostile and possibly criminals the sad thing is these are facts but yet ALL SITUATIONS are to be judge separately and that is something they are NOT TAUGHT or at least NOT ENFORCED so. The “black male/5’11″ community now sees any interaction with police to be a hostile / tense situation. Why would they (black males) snitch they already see you as “just doing your job” and only “dealing with the incident” so they see it like this” if i help you’ll just file it away and ill be stuck looking into the criminal’s eyes every day” and who wants to deal with that???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackdiamond184/ blackdiamond184

    I got mixed feelings about that. If you snitch you better live a nice clean life and never end up in prison. Petty s**t like weed and stolen property is nothing blow a wistle at but hard drugs and crime that destroy peoples lives and communities maybe it is a good thing if your family is affected by it otherwise just mind you own business.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DXPeace/ DXPeace

    Start snitching to who? Should we snitch to the same
    police who shoot us down, profile, harass and abuse us?

    The call has went out for Black
    communities to organize defense
    ministries. Al Sharpton has a
    radio show and he should use it
    to inspire Black communities to establish defense ministries
    so that we may fire the police
    departments.

    Hey Al…You wanna tell something, tell the police they are fired and tell them to take them Black stool pidgeons with them.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hellovanilla/ hellovanilla

    It’d be nice if people actually knew what snitchin’ was before they object to the stop snitchin’ campaign lol. It’s pathetic that you have people who’ve done horrendous nonsense like murder 10-20 people as a hitman for a criminal crew and then they get only 8 years or something because they turned a bunch of other people in.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Analya/ Analya

    Oh yes, I definitely agree, people should start testifying and tell everything they see. If it comes to the point where people are running the streets making people’s lives miserable and some people are scared to sit on there front porch because of these evil doers, those people should be locked up. Just because a group of people make awful decisions in there life doesn’t mean the whole community should have to pay, by living in fear. I say if Im going to be scared to walk out my front door, because these people are terrorizing people and I’m not going to be at peace anyway, why not tell and get them off the streets. They can’t scare everyone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Analya/ Analya

    Yes, I agree; snitch snitch snitch, our baby’s lives are being ruined, they can’t play outside or walk to the store without being threatened, scared, or victimized and before you know it they are picking up on what they see. If people don’t want to do the time, don’t do the crime. So if you worry about being snitched on, get a grip, change your life for the better and stop doing what you are doing. So once again I say SNITCH, SNITCH, SNITCH!

    I don’t know how I feel about this. Let the police do their job. With all that CSI bulls**t, the police should be able to do their job without the help of the public…If they were doing their job in the first place instead of trying to keep black people down then this problem might have never occurred.

    If this start snitchin s**t actually does launch then…people need to start snitching on these white politicians and congressman stealing money from the public. But na…noones sayin snitch on them aint it…people out dere dyin either way…from victim or being the victimizer…

    And now that the police have something to do, they are gonna ride all night in Dade County and Broward County and pull over everyone until they find someone to pin the shooting on…making that s**t hot niggas need to think…i feel u…times is hard…tryin to rob a dice game tho…damn

    Im sorry it had to be a git that died tho cuz he didn’t do nothing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Analya/ Analya

    Some of these people who are against snitching are the same people that never do anything to help the community, they don’t vote, they are scared to strive for a better life, but yet they always want to blame someone else for what is happening in their community, and wait for something that is free and yet they wont help themselves. Those are the same people, that thinks blacks can be more than what they see and that is plain ignorance. Wake up people, help the community that you live in, and SNITCH! Tell it like a parrot.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/such_a_fn_lady/ such_a_fn_lady

    You same ppl who are FOR snitching are the same ppl who dont give a fk or say shyt when a cop shoots, beats to death or gives the death sentence to an innocent black man and the court system lets them get away scott free. Ya’ll dont got shyt to say then-cause u scared to challenge the system or the police but quick to send another black person to jail to save your own ass.

    You don’t give a damn about the community when the Police are brutalizing the ppl in it. Ya’ll get in line and shut the fk up then.

    I think a MUCH better idea could have been created instead of “Start Snitching.” No one, at least the n**gas I know, would follow it. You might as well make a t-shirt that says “Be a RAT, it’s OK” and have a big azz rat on the front. The word itself has too much negative connotation. The real problem lies beneath the people who refuse to point criminals for the safety of themselves and their families. As for me if i witness a crime I will give information. However I would think twice if the safety of myself or family would be put in jeopardy because it’s not worth it.

    yes, people need to start snitching. I mean honestly how many people have to die before we get the message. murderers need to pay for their actions so that they won’t be out on the streets to kill somebody else’s child, brother, sister, father or mother.

    dumbassez took ‘no snitching’ too far anyway. It was supposed to be G code for not tattle telling on someone for getting their grind on via drug sales. It was not ever meant to protect murderers, rapists, etc. It was like saying you know aint’ no work out here, and much of the work out here is not going to brothas so if u see him on the block – shut up. Where are the retards that came up w/no snitchin means don’t tell on any criminals at all anywhere ever? LOL- ppl are so dumb.
