  • 1 CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION “The Ultimate Weakness of Violence Is
    CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it... Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. 1.0 Statement of the Problem The purpose of this research is to examine the phenomenon of intra-racial violence from the perspectives of black men who have engaged in violent acts against other black men. Violence is an American problem, as opposed to a problem that is characteristic of one group. Zimring and Hawkins argue that, “it is beyond foolishness to regard American violence as solely, or mainly, or even distinctly a black problem. Excluding blacks, the estimated homicide [rate]…for the United States is well over three times the homicide rate of the six nations and twice as the high as the second highest, Italy” (1997:82). While this may be true, there is still a great disparity in crime statistics between whites and blacks, and for that matter black men and every other race/gender group. According to Zimring and Hawkins (1997), we live in the most violent society on the face of the earth. Statistical information demonstrates that African American men are disproportionately offenders and victims of violence (Paschall, Flewelling and Ennett 1998). In 2003, per every 1,000 persons in that racial group, 29 blacks, 22 whites and 16 persons of others races were victimized by a violent crime.

Betty met Roth at a dance and asked him during the course of conversation what he did for a living. The exchanges went something like this: Al (swelling out his chest and trying to look nonchalant "I'm a professional boxer." Betty (surprised): What a coincidence! My boy friend is a fighter—his name is Harry Mizler." Al: "Oh, that guy. I may be meeting him in the ring soon which will be tough luck for him. I’ll slaughter him." TIPPED FOR TITLE That story may carry more than one moral, but it may also have spurred Mizler to be at the peak or his form and outpoint the American by an overwhelming margin over ten rounds. Certainly Harry looked brilliant and besides being awarded a "Boxing News" Certificate of Merit was very strongly tipped to regain the British lightweight title. For the contest, made at ten stone. John Harding paid Mizler £250 and Roth £150. And to this day looks back at the promotion and considers it the best bargain he over made.
