My interpretation was that our society is so unjust to black people that many are forced to commit crimes. Perhaps because they’re hungry or can’t pay the rent or something like that.

Sounds like some serious justification on your part.

So I ask you: Who are the true victims of racial injustice in America?
Wouldn't higher crime rates be an indicator of injustice?
Unless there is any implication of racial motivation behind these attacks, this doesn't help your argument.
I mean really... your argument is: whites are horrid people who treat others bad so others are justified in criminal retaliation....
Since you’re so much smarter, what did I write that was wrong? Specifically. And now I’m a white supremacist for stating indisputable facts? I’m not saying the truth can’t be used for racist purposes, but can the truth itself be racist?

Here’s a link to a U.S. DOJ report on 2018 violent crimes. www.bjs.gov...
The violent crimes researched in the study are rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.
Go to Page 13, Table 14 for a breakdown of interracial violent crimes (not including homicide or nonnegligent manslaughter).
The table shows about 548,000 violent crimes committed by blacks against whites in 2018.
In contrast, about 60,000 violent crimes were committed by whites against blacks in 2018. That’s only 11 percent as many as blacks committed against whites.
So I ask you: Who are the true victims of racial injustice in America?
LMAO you read that completely wrong and got so many stars and flags 🤣.
Victim........Race of offender (highest percentage)
White..........White
Black...........Black
Hispanic......Hispanic
Asian............White/Black/Asian
Side note, white supremacists always leave out the demographic population of the US when analyzing crime statistics.
I like your ideas, though I think there has to be a movement within the black community to change self-destructive behavior. And fathers must marry the mothers of their children, or better yet, girls and women should either abstain from sex until marriage or use contraceptives/condoms.

Neither do I. Maybe a few half ideas... I'd start by tackling the high rates of lead-poisoning plaguing inner cities. We cannot hope for any better if we don't stop poisoning and compromising minds. Then focus on schools, creating courses in schools that actually teach real valuable life skills like child care, cooking, shop classes, consumer economics, etc. We need to prepare our kids to be responsible and productive adults, and that means giving them the skills necessary to actually be responsible and productive adults. I think in some/many cases, a boarding school -- perhaps even military schools -- could be beneficial in teaching many of these kids the structure and discipline they need but are lacking in their homes. Especially in single parent homes. Perhaps mentoring programs for both boys and girls, and even men and women, who can benefit from the experience and wisdom of others who have mastered their fields.

So which part of society is so unjust ? The programs which hire or admit students of color as part of their quotas ? How about the NFL which pays multi million dollar contracts to players of color ? How about the desegregation program bringing people of color into different schools and bringing white kids to black neighborhoods?

African-American prisoners who are convicted of murder are about 50% more likely
to be innocent than other convicted murderers. Part of that disparity is tied to the race of the
victim. African Americans imprisoned for murder are more likely to be innocent if they were
convicted of killing white victims. Only about 15% of murders by African Americans have
white victims, but 31% of innocent African-American murder exonerees were convicted of
killing white people.
The convictions that led to murder exonerations with black defendants were 22% more
likely to include misconduct by police officers than those with white defendants. In addition,
on average black murder exonerees spent three years longer in prison before release than
white murder exonerees, and those sentenced to death spent four years longer.
Most wrongful convictions are never discovered. We have no direct measure of the
number of all convictions of innocent murder defendants, but our best estimate suggests that
they outnumber those we know about many times over. Judging from exonerations, half of
those innocent murder defendants are African Americans.
The best national evidence on drug use shows that African Americans and whites use
illegal drugs at about the same rate. Nonetheless, African Americans are about five times as
likely to go to prison for drug possession as whites—and judging from exonerations,
innocent black people are about 12 times more likely to be convicted of drug crimes than
innocent white people.
In general, very few ordinary, low-level drug convictions result in exoneration,
regardless of innocence, because the stakes are too low. In Harris County, Texas, however,
there have been 133 exonerations in ordinary drug possession cases in the last few years.
These are cases in which defendants pled guilty, and were exonerated after routine lab tests
showed they were not carrying illegal drugs. Sixty-two percent of the Harris County drugcrime guilty plea exonerees were African American in a county with 20% black residents.
The main reason for this racial disproportion in convictions of innocent drug
defendants is that police enforce drug laws more vigorously against African Americans than
against members of the white majority, despite strong evidence that both groups use drugs at equivalent rates. African Americans are more frequently stopped, searched, arrested, and
convicted—including in cases in which they are innocent. The extreme form of this practice
is systematic racial profiling in drug-law enforcement.

No, I did not say or imply any interracial crime had a racial component.
I’d be willing to bet racism is a strong factor in most such assaults.

Yeah it's racist when clearly white people commit the majority of violent crimes and you and others are saying blacks do.
