Regarding Racial Violence is There No Black Leadership?

The below article documents numerous accounts of black on white crimes.  We hear nothing from the high profile "so called" black leaders about these acts of terror/violence.  We hear nothing from the mainstream media.  Black on white crime is not news-worthy since it does not fit the liberal/progressive narrative of white oppression of blacks.  It may get local news coverage because of proximity but certainly is avoided by national media and black leaders.  The "so called" black leaders are quick to rush to cameras and microphones in defense of victims of white on black crime but are invisible when the reverse happens.  White on black violence fits their liberal/progressive profile of news-worthyness and must be addressed because it highlights the ongoing white oppression of blacks.  They do so notwithstanding the fact that a majority white electorate voted a black into the office of President of the United States.  

You will recall that a number of years ago black entertainer Bill Cosby attempted to raise public awareness of problems of crime within the black community but was slapped down by "so called" black leaders who were supported by the mainstream media.  Why did they do that?  Cosby is an educated (has a PhD), well spoken and popular entertainer who raised legitimate issues needing national attention, especially among blacks.  

I ask these two questions of the President:  Mr. Obama, if as you say you are the president of all Americans but without knowing the facts were so quick to support black teen Martin over Latino with black ancestry Zimmerman why have you not taken similar action for the more prevalent black on white crimes?  Why have you not made crimes of violence by all races be they intra or inter racial a matter of priority for your administration?  I am especially curious to learn your answers since most acts of inter-racial violence are black on white and intra-racial is black on black. 

By the way after removing the presidential context, I would ask the same questions of Attorney General Holder, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other black liberal/progressives.  It seems to me they all view matters of disagreement or conflict among Americans through a racial lense.  Although that is today's politically correct posture, rather than helping it hurts race relations.  In fact, it seems to me that such an approach is the very personification of racism.
