Well, get over the race thing, for starters. The high black on black murder rate? Lay off the orange man bad, blame Da white police propaganda shizile. For starters.
When whites get over the race thing we will. Concern yourself with the high white on white murder rate. Maybe whites need to drop their racism and whites need to stop believing white racist propaganda they make up about others. Last whites need to stop lying about being black online then starting threads with a question no one black asks whites.
What high white on white murder rate are you talking about, IM2? Oh, let me guess...you think that the reports of black on black murders is "propaganda" and isn't actually happening? LOL
The FBI numbers that show that approximately 85 to 90 percent of whites who are killed are killed by another white. That whites kill about the same number of people as blacks on an annual basis. That a white person is 6 times more likely to be killed by another white than anyone else. I know black on black crime is real. You seem unable to understand the reality of white crime and how it is actually far greater and done in many different ways.
White-on-White Crime: The Hidden Truth
The majority of homicides that occur are intra-racial, or between members of the same race. However, in the media, there has been heavy focus on just one group committing these crimes.
Black-on-black crime has saturated media coverage in recent years – but who’s talking about the high rate of white-on-white crime?
Ignorance or Denial?
Right in the midst of the highly-publicized black-on-black crime, there is a high rate of white-on-white crime happening in America. Is the media is purposely denying these facts, even though the violence has reached an alarming rate?
Whatever the reason, a 2011 FBI Uniform crime report showed that 86% of white American victims were killed by other white people, and also revealed that a white person was six more times likely to be killed by another white person than by a black person.
Snake Oil and Crime Truths
Edward Williams of The Root, says, “
when it comes to America’s past and present, lies and snake oil are sold in many colors.” Edward’s statement highlights the fact that black-on-black crime has become “accepted” in the journalistic and political arenas. In fact, the media portrayal of black violence leads some white people to worry about getting killed by a black person – when they’re actually significantly more at risk from other white people.
The media’s obsessed with black-on-black crime, but hardly, if ever, mentions concerns about white-on-white crime… or appears to notice that there is a problem. There is no outrage aired on the News at 5 from white communities, as we see in black groups when they protest, demand change for their community, and attempt to fix the problem.
According to Kush Azrael of the Call and Post,
“when the news speaks about gang-related deaths, it is treated almost exclusively as a black problem.” He went on to point out that The Bureau of Justice Statistics “showed that during the period of 1990 to 2008, 53% of gang homicides were committed by white offenders and 56.5% of gang homicide victims were white.”
You constantly hear through the media about Black and the Latino gang-related killings but the statistics show that the majority of offenders were white. There’s still no public discussion about a white gang problem in America.
According to the Department of Justice between
1980 – 2008 white-on-white homicide was at 84% and black-on-black homicide at 93%.
In 2010 and 2011 FBI reports, white individuals were arrested more times for violent crimes than individuals of any other race – and their victims are overwhelmingly other white people.
The Bureau of Justice statistics data on homicide trends has shown that white-on-white killings are at 88% and the percentage of black-on-black killings is at 91%, yet the perception is that the high level of homicides that occur is just a “black thing.”
Aside from the homicide trend,
the Bureau of Justice statistics arrest trends for 2010 showed that whites were arrested more than blacks for violent crimes, property damage and drug possession/use/abuse and manufacturing than blacks, and again, the victims are typically white as well.
