Okay. Lots of number crunching here... BFD. I've seen the numbers before. So what's your point?
Are you literally just trying to say "Black people are racist"? Or that "Black people are MORE racist"? Is that your whole point?
Or are you trying to say "Black people are violent"? Or that "Black people are MORE violent"? Is that your whole point?
Or just that MORE Black people are violent and racist than White people per capita?
Are you suggesting that the entire Black demographic is violent and racist? Or MORE violent and racist?
Are you trying to say that it's okay for White people to be violent and racist BECAUSE Black people are violent and racist?
Are you trying to say that it's okay for cops to kill Black people in cold blood in broad daylight on a busy street corner because Black people are so violent and racist? Because by golly gee they're ALL violent and racist???
What's your point?
First, let me ask you: Why aren’t you disturbed by these statistics?
You say BFD, like it’s not important that blacks annually comprise more than 50 percent of all homicide arrestees, and 58 percent of all juvenile homicide arrestees.
You’re not helping black Americans by rationalizing these crime rates.
My main purpose was to show the disconnect from reality that’s driving the riots, protests, BLM, self-hatred among whites and calls to disband law enforcement agencies.
It’s getting crazier and crazier and could provoke a violent reaction from conservative whites if they’re pushed too far.
Yes, I’m saying there’s more racism among blacks than whites.
Almost all of the police incidents that became cause celebres began with blacks breaking the law and resisting arrest.
That seldom ends well for anyone, including the roughly 370 whites killed by cops in, I think, 2018. One stat I’ve seen on Statista showed more than 95 percent of the 235 (?) or so blacks killed by cops in 2018 were armed (armed with what I don’t know), and about 85 percent of whites killed were also armed.
I’m not saying cops are always in the right.
But I also understand there are 700,000 sworn LEOs at the local, county and state levels. There’s bound to be a wide range of competence among them...
...and ability to deal with angry, combative people.

What ever the MSM / the sheeple are baying about, the exact opposite is true.
All we have heard about is black lives are under attack when in fact the exact opposite is true in the US.
He's saying that the country is burning because white on black crime and statues are being removed because of white on black crime and everything "offensive" is being removed because of white on black crime, when in reality the black on white crime is far higher. Yet you never see white people out there burning down cities and tearing down statues because of it. I honestly don't know how you could have missed that.

Because the White population is the MAJORITY race in America, they will be the victim of violent crimes more often than individuals from other races. Bigger target.

Good question. The Left never wants to talk about it, and I suspect must Leftists aren’t even aware of it.
You’d think that would be a huge news story, but no one in the MSM wants to touch it. It’s radioactive and will get you in deep, deep trouble with the thought police — even though it’s the truth. I used to think journalists were seekers of truth. What a joke!
Sadly, young blacks comprised 58 percent of all juveniles arrested for homicide and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2018. It’s all in the FBI UCR table 43B.

I hadn’t thought about skin color as a causative factor, but I have to dismiss it after considering the possibility for about 10 seconds. Indian Americans are some of the least violent people in the nation. Many are quite dark, almost black in some cases. So skin color is out.

Checking in to see if the op thinks skin color causes violent criminal behavior.
Seems like that’s what you are saying, is that right?
All other factors not considered, do you think blacks are predisposed to criminal activity?
Because that’s what you are saying here.
Have I misconstrued the point you are making?
Did you know there are more white people than black people the us? A lot more.
Also, I might have missed the white on white criminality stat.
I don’t think blacks are predisposed to criminal activity because most blacks are law abiding, decent people. But without a doubt, blacks commit a hugely disproportional amount of violent crimes in America.
Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the 70 percent or more rate of illegitimate births among blacks. I believe the rate of illegitimate births among whites has risen to 30 percent, so my race has little to be proud of in that regard. It’s just one indicator among many of America’s cultural decline.
I also think there’s more glorification and acceptance of violence among lower-income, less-educated blacks, but that’s purely speculative.
I suspect you’ll blame the higher crime rates on racism. I hope you do, because I can prove the absurdity of that theory quite easily.
Yes, I was aware that whites outnumber blacks by five-to-one. I’m about to show that blacks commit a higher percentage of violent crimes than their percentage of the population. But first, some stats you requested on same-race violent crime.
There were about 2,225,000 white-on-white violent crimes in 2018, or about 62 percent of all violent crimes committed against whites.
There were about 396,000 black-on-black violent crimes, or about 70 percent of all violent crimes committed against blacks.
Now for a few eye-opening stats from the 2018 FBI UCR table 43 re: all arrests nationwide by race. Keep in mind that blacks comprise 12 to 13 percent of the population and non-Hispanic whites about 61 percent.
Homicide/nonnegligent manslaughter:
53.3 percent black
27.7 percent white
Rape:
28.6 percent black
46.6 percent white
Robbery:
54.1 percent black
24.3 percent white
Aggravated assault:
33.6 percent black
40 percent white

I have not been kind to many cops situations, many were wrong, bad, WTF moments, but we need to also understand as to why does it happen more in areas were the social construct of these areas are dysfunctional in so many ways. The main reason is cops in general mirror where they work. Cops in Watts are going to be much harder on the population there compared to many other places because the people that live there are hard on themselves, grow up hard and dysfunctional.
The big elephant in the room is with BLM when they totally ignore the black lives that die about 9000+ per year from other blacks and save their protest/riot for these cop cases that equal about 10 per year. A couple of days after Floyd's tragic death in one day around 20 people were killed and another 80 were seriously injured in Chicago alone.
This is what everyone needs to focus on the most...

Chicago had 9 murders on FATHERS DAY. WTF? Gang members can't even take a Sunday off. The deaths included a three year old, a 13 year old girl, and two teenage boys. WTF?
I don’t understand what you mean. I’ve broken down the percentages of arrests of both blacks and whites for certain crime categories. I’ve stated the percentage of the population comprised by both blacks and whites. If blacks are 13 percent of the population you’d think they would commit no more than 13 percent of the crimes in any category, right? But they commit a much greater percentage than 13 percent of homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults. What is it that you don’t understand about these “misleading” numbers from the 2018 FBI UCR table 43?

The numbers in this post are more than a little misleading. I'd suggest that if all races were victims at rates proportionate to their particular demographic, this is roughly about what it would look like. One would need more info to make an informed opinion, something the OP clearly isn't interested in. I guess I could take the time to do that homework, but I'm also not the one making the claim, so....

I disagree with the term illegitimate, when describing births, or children. If it’s common to call another person illegitimacy in a culture. You could see where that would cause issues growing up, having self confidence, etc.

If you’re talking about the interracial crimes, I still don’t understand you. You’re saying that because there are five times more whites than blacks they should be victimized by blacks more than vice versa? OK, maybe there’s something to that, although I wonder why Hispanics — 50 percent more numerous than blacks — committed only two-thirds as many violent crimes against whites. Explain that one to me.
They have more graduate degrees per capita than any other race or ethnic group. Must be using white privilege.

To add one small point to this, does anyone know the most successful ethnic group in the United States from a financial standpoint? Nigerian Americans. That's right, black African immigrants are the most successful ethnic group. Just ask yourself why that is, how they can overcome when others cannot.
It's a cultural thing for sure.
I’m painfully aware that whites have big problems, too. Most of the many crimes committed by whites victimize other whites. More and more of our kids are born out of wedlock. We’re not reproducing fast enough. We’ve lost confidence in ourselves and respect for our own race and Western civilization. We’re fat, sloppy and much more prone to violence than our European cousins. Our boys are soft couch potatoes with easy access to pornography. Our families are increasingly dysfunctional.

I think it's pretty obvious what changed around that time. The War on Drugs. It disproportionately targeted young, black, men.
If your government is enacting policies designed to put your people in cages what motivation do you have to play by their rules?
Originally posted by: Edumakated
The issues we see in the black community with crime are highly correlated with the War on Poverty in the 60s. Welfare programs kept fathers out of the home. This drove the out of wedlock birth rate in black community from around 24% to nearly 75% today. It is widely known that on average kids raised without fathers do worse on practically every metric. When you have three out of four black kids starting off disadvantaged from day 1, it isn't going to end pretty. Another unintended consequence of liberal Democrat policies. In large swaths of lower income black communities you literally have feral black teens who are being raised by the streets. Their own role models of hustlers.
