Thanks to Captain Obvious for speaking the truth. I felt compelled to repost it in a separate thread. "The answer isn’t looting, no. The answer isn’t rioting, no. But the answer also isn’t preaching to black people about “black-on-black” crime without full acknowledgment that most crime is intrarracial." This is complete bullshit. Black on black violent crime is exponentially higher than interracial crime. Jeffrey Dahmer would have had to eaten several hundred black guys a year just to keep up with the crime in Chicago. The following is somewhat dated, but I seriously doubt the percentages have changes much. http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.html Crime Rates Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife. Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate. The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic. Interracial Crime Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black. Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery. Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa
Yet the press ignores this. They'd rather report sensationalistic journalism. Does the typical black on black killings really mean anything to readers? Sadly, no. But a white killing a black in any way that might be seen as controversial is HEADLINE news and reporters will camp out there for days/weeks. And the amount of black on white crime is also not highly reported. Why? It doesn't sell newspapers or increase viewer ratings. Journalism has fallen to such lows it's not much more than the National Enquirer in most cases. 24/7 TV coverage with little meaningful news to actually cover, so they resort to the equivalent of 'reality TV' news stories.
Regardless of what you think about the organization, the methods and data are footnoted and explained. Of course, it's easier to do pull an ad hominem (attack the source) than do the research.
I'm not attacking anything. I'm suggesting that this data be verified rather than be accepted without question. I'd make the same suggestion with regard to any organization that appears to have an agenda.
Verified. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-43
Actually, the reason the media doesn't report black crime on white or black on Asian crime is because it would be ostracized and be called racist. This is a travesty. It hides the fact that blacks and Hispanics commit far more than their share of crime, it prevents society from holding them accountable, and prevents people from taking appropriate personal safety measures.
Great. You can start with your hundreds of politically-driven posts on here. Much of the data, "facts" and flat-out conjecture hasn't been "verified." And all of them have an agenda. Get busy. After that, you can go through all those sites we're not supposed to question: HuffPo, CNN, ABC, NPR, anything ending in .gov. Get real busy.
