Crime Killed a Quarter of a Million Black People, 1990-2021

Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting, to drug dealing and mugging.

The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested, imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to spread conspiracy theories falsely accusing the criminal justice system of systemic racism.

What all of these racist conspiracy theories popularized by politicians, the media, and the entertainment industry ignored was that black people were also far more likely to be crime victims. Even as the BLM riots got underway, black people in surveys were strongly opposed to police defunding. The opposition was so vehement that Democrats not only abandoned the issue, but claimed that they had always been opposed to it and ran against their own position.

"One study counted 286,075 firearm deaths among black people from 1990 to 2021. That’s over a quarter of a million deaths. Some of them are due to suicide, but suicides are much lower among black people than white people, and the majority of black gun deaths were homicides." The only thing missing is how many of these black deaths were from other black folks? Meanwhile, anyone who thinks leftists care about minorities rather than just using them to achieve their own goals needs to wake up and face reality.

Wrong. BLACK Criminals killed 250k+blacks. Until they can clean up their mess black lives will never matter. Scott Adams is right. They have to correct themeselves. Trillions of dollars and decades of patting on the head by .gov has ruined black Americans. Today’s Africans come here and just shake their head at American blacks’ antics.

The vast majority of Black murders are committed buy Black perps (95%+).

Plenty of arguments via stats that those abortions also lowered future crime stats and potential murders.

More than 20 million Black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country.

Why not just blame the black people that killed them? Blaming their murders on “crime” and guns is pretty friggin’ retarded.

And 99% of those killed were killed by fellow blacks...0.5% were killed by whites and 0.5% were killed by cops.

And a doomsday device would kill all life on earth and stop crime completely.

From the article:
...A Pew survey found that while only 33% of white Democrats wanted to reduce crime...

Why would anyone be against reducing crime?!

Compliant blacks are the pillar of democrat party power and leftist control. They are the justification for every power-grab and social-engineering scheme the left has.

Nothing else matters, certainly not the “body count.”

I wonder when blacks will ever figure this out.

It the same for Whites. The vast majority is white on white murder.

Thank you! Crime did not kill anyone. People committing crime did and blacks are committing far too much crime relative to their population per capita. Patting them on the head, as you rightfully point out, is not the solution.
