News has always been about the UNusual.....man bites dog yada yada. Given that theme, when dog bites man it's not interesting unless dog kills man, especially if the dog is a pitbull. So the news merchants are allowed to completely ignore black crime. Everybody supposedly knows blacks are more likely to be criminals at some point in their lives than other races, right? Rules and laws seem to bore blacks, frustrate their inner ape who wants to overpower smaller, weaker monkeys and take what is theirs. The news merchants don't mind ignoring this in the least because of the narrative they're more comfortable with as blacks as the underdog,, pure of heart and soul, simply misunderstood. It's gone so far that the race of the criminal being sought can no longer be mentioned....only their weight, height, and gender, which is also being looked at as somehow violating stereotypes and hurting "diversity". So get used to it....black crime is no longer news....although:
As remains the case today, blacks in the past were overrepresented among those arrested and imprisoned. In urban areas in 1967, blacks were 17 times more likely than whites to be arrested for robbery. In 1980 blacks comprised about one-eighth of the population but were half of all those arrested for murder, rape and robbery, according to FBI data. And they were between one-fourth and one-third of all those arrested for crimes such as burglary, auto theft and aggravated assault.
Today blacks are about 13 percent of the population and continue to be responsible for an inordinate amount of crime. Between 1976 and 2005 blacks committed more than half of all murders in the United States. The black arrest rate for most offenses — including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes — is still typically two to three times their representation in the population. Blacks as a group are also overrepresented among persons arrested for so-called white-collar crimes such as counterfeiting, fraud and embezzlement. And blaming this decades-long, well-documented trend on racist cops, prosecutors, judges, sentencing guidelines and drug laws doesn’t cut it as a plausible explanation.
