Just my two cents...but if you drug-tested all murder suspects upon arrest...I suspect that ninety-eight percent would show something illegal in their system. No one wants to face up to the fact that illegal drugs are the overwhelming contributor to what we have in our jails today.
Whenever people say there are more blacks in prison than whites because of racism, I ask them if there are more men in prison than women because of sexism.
No matter how they answer, my point is made.
Where does one start with an author who does not understand simple math?
Blacks killing blacks at very high rates. Whites kill whites at very low rates. So, the problem remains that blacks are most likely to be murdered by blacks. T
he fact the author can’t grasp this is proof he is not the least bit interested in the facts or cares one white about the plight of blacks.
It serves a higher political goal — leftist policies, Democratic politicians, and bigger government — to constantly stir up strife with phony, if not idiotic arguments like this one.
The statistics from the FBI are clear and murky at the same time.
90% of whites are killed by whites, while 90% of blacks are killed by blacks.
What is murky is where Hispanics fall into the mix.
The number of Black and White murder victims are almost the same. What doesn’t get mentioned is that blacks only represent 12% of the population.
The 2-1 ratio might be accurate but there are 8 times as many whites as blacks in this country so as a proportion of population blacks are 4 times as likely to be responsible for violent crime as are whites. The writer must assume a high degree of math ignorance among his readers.
Rarely.
The majority of white victims and white offenders know one another unlike the random killings by out of control blacks.
Most whites who are killed by other whites I suspect are domestic violence situations.....
Offer an example (NBC editing not included) or STFU, race pimp.
guess the mutt never heard of ratios...Yes in terms of absolute numbers it makes sense that incidents of white crime out number incidents of black crime. But to be worse than black crime statistics wouldn't the figures have to be incidents of white crime outnumber incidents of black by more than 10-to-1?
Having made his 2-to-1 point he asks "Given this mathematical truth, would anyone encourage African Americans to begin shooting suspicious white males in their neighborhoods for fear that they'll be raped, assaulted or murdered?"
Nowhere did he answer no.
Instead he says millions of black boys and girls like [Trayvon], harbor a reasonably founded fear of whites. . . so that's why the black teens cross the street when they see this old geezer approach them on the sidewalk.
I think part of what the author wants is to make it anti-PC to say "black-on-black crime."
Well at least he didn't remind us what New York Congressman Major Owens "revealed" that to this day sharks follow ships crossing the Atlantic from Africa because during the slave-trading days 250,000,000 slaves were thrown overboard on the way here. (I think it was only 250 million.)
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are the blind leading the blind..
Most blacks are as blind as the KKK...
Except as the KKK aided by affirmative action..
American Black culture is a cartoon, a nasty cartoon..
When an author starts out with a falsehood, I lose interest in reading any more.

Ever hear of the Civil War, WWI and WWII? I would say there is a long history of white on white violence.
I went to read the article, just so I could say some negative things about it (since clearly it is BS just from the title).
But I see many of the commentors at “The Root” site are going a good job debunking this author’s misguided statements.
So, that’s good I think.
Good job Root commenters!
Most people who are murdered are killed by a member of their own race. I have often heard that most murder victims are at least acquainted with their killer.
But the point of this article, that whites commit MORE crimes than blacks, and that they most often kill other white people, while true, really misses the point.
Blacks are murdered far out of proportion to their percent of population and they are overwhelmingly murdered by other Black people.
It is really a “beam in your own eye” situation. “Community activists” get all riled up about “whites” murdering blacks, but even if you eliminated ALL those deaths you’d still have a pile of corpses.
They really don’t care about those black crime victims AT ALL.
If I was a black person, this would infuriate me.

All over the world blacks kill blacks at greater rates then whites kill white, then whites kill blacks, then blacks kill whites.
Yes, white people kill white people and black people kill white people. But we don’t whine about racism. The racism now prevalent in this country is black against white.
The whole argument of black on black violent crime has the feeble sound of white politically correct groveling. If blacks rather condone than correct a culture of violence within its own community, whites can do little. How do whites get the standing to oppose - by word and deed - black on black violence louder than blacks?
What whites do have standing to oppose - by word and deed - is black on white violence!
So, why is that the very argument not raised when racist black demagogues scream "It's open season on black people!" or "racist profiling?" Why are establishment politicians and media so determine to censor that subject? Why?
Because there are 7.8 times more black on white violent crimes than white on black ( FBI Crime Stats Link) when there are 5.8 times more whites than blacks in the population (US Census Link). This means that the reality that they choose to conceal is that, therefore statistically a given black is 45 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa.
What rational human beings with the basic instinct of self-preservation can ignore that?! Whites, that do not live in the protected bubbles of the establishment politicians and media, know this instinctively and anecdotally - even when the actual statistics are kept from them.
Not until the black community and the establishment politicians & media deals with - rather than conceals and condones - black on white violence, will so call "racial" profiling end!
It cannot be said enough: Zimmerman is as white as Obama. Hoe come Obama is not a “white” president.
