In 2009, white offenders killed 209 black individuals. Meanwhile, that same year black offenders killed 2,604 black individuals.Notice omission of how many whites were killed by blacks?
The paucity of logic is no longer astounding. In fact, you almost come to expect it from Race baiting apologists.
George Zimmerman's inexcusable act of violence is something that is being highlighted in this case.
I noticed in the title, Trayvon was murdered. Another defamation artist at work here.
And just what might be the reason this author pretending racial balance forgot to mention black on white crime, especially when it is adjusted for percentage of the population?
94% of murders of black people are committed by black people. 14% of murders of white people are extraracial. IOW, 13% of the population killed 692 whites while 72% of the population who killed 254 blacks. Hence, blacks are more than 15 times more likely to kill whites than the other way around. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2005
So what this author is doing is telling "his people" that their problem with killing each other vastly outweighs murders of black people by "white racism" while ignoring the evident problem of black racism against white people.
What a guy.
I noticed the author leaves out the number of murders of whites by blacks, a glaring omission if you want an honest discussion of this subject.
Black on black and black on white crime are higher than white on black or white on white crime.
There is a disease in the black community that is being ignored......intentionally.
The inference and evidence point to any confrontation being involuntary on Zimmerman's part. The most likely intention zimmerman has is to maintain visual contact, and to avoid confrontation.
I’ve no problem observing him and calling 911. Getting out of the car and following him on foot was obviously a major error. You allude to another issue in your description of the fight, the very real risk of being disarmed. Which would also argue for staying in the car
This is something that the country cannot, no matter how hard many people may try, ignore.
This is the base of the reason for this belief of the writer. He is completely wrong. Martin died because he chose to be a criminal.
We don't know that yet. He was not arrested because the police thought the shooting was in self defense. This was a purely NON-emotional decision.
This entire story is a story because of the enormous fire of hatred felt by the Black community against Whites. There is plenty of violence between young Black men...no complaint there.
But when the a young Black man (carrying on his shoulders the reputation that young Black men have built up with their violence) is discriminated against because of that well-earned reputation, his community screams bloody murder.
Of course a young Black man in a hoodie is discriminated against. But it isn't because of race. It's because his reputation for violence has preceded him.
But that discrimination isn't the real reason this story dominates the news. This story is powerful because it permits those in the Black community that hate Whites to vocalize their deep-seated hatred. And it gives those who fan the flames of that hatred (Al and Jessie at the front of the pack) to fan it and watch it grow.
I know of NO Whites that hate blacks...not one! Every White person I know believes that ALL people, regardless of the race, deserve the opportunity to achieve whatever they can in America.
But I will say that if Black people continue to scream their hatred for Whites, that belief in fairness among Whites will eventually start to erode.
If you scream your hatred for someone loud enough and long enough, eventually the hated person will to begin return that animosity.
To quote Daffy Duck, "Lets try that again..."
The overwhelming proportion of murders of blacks is committed by other blacks.
The overwhelming proportion of murders of whites is committed by other whites.
Any questions?
Trumaine? Trayvon? These names are simply odious. They sound like names you would give a pet or a doll, not a person. They scream “I’m from the ghetto!”
There are two paths, but they are very different. One leads to life. The other to death.
They are already in total backpedal and retreat mode.
Attempting to railroad Zimmerman is going to set off a Hispanic backlash. If that happens, it will be the same thing for the Democrat Party as Scotty reading the last three digits of the self-destruct code for the Enterprise.
I think the lightbulb over their heads about this went on
yesterday morning sometime.
When it’s convenient to the race mongers Hispanics are referred to as “people of color”. When one commits a crime against a black he is referred to as white.
Yeah, I gotta question...
in “cross-racial” murder statistics, given that whites outnumber blacks by 8 to 1, what is the ratio of white killing black to black killing white?
Shouldn’t it be “representative” of the 8 to 1 ratio?
Wrong
9-11 was "a terrible tragedy for all Americans".
"The death of Trayvon Martin" is indicative of a cancer among a subset of the population
that's metastasized as a result of a socialist plantation politics and white guilt.
Full stop.
martin died because he was an idiot. Never assault an armed man.
LLS
Is he saying that a lot of blacks get shot in self-defense? But why would that be unjust?
Trayyon attacked Zimmerman. He paid for his attempt to inflict grievous bodily harm on another human being with his life. Sucks to be him.
