How many TOTAL murders are committed by whites?
"Overall murder rates
have been declining since 1980 ā when the total rate for murder and non-negligent manslaughter was 10.2 per 100,000 people ā but violent crime is still a favorite talking point among lawmakers and newspeople.
"Whatās important is to change
how we talk about it. White victims tend to get close attention, while the murder of people of color is callously left unexplored. We can and should be investigating why communities of color suffer disproportionately high rates of violent crime, as these rates belie a lot of geographic and economic complexity. (To dig deeper, see
Krivo and Petersonās study controlling for neighborhood disadvantage, as well as the
Violence Policy Centerās recent study of black homicide victimization.)"
Stark racial disparities in murder rates persist, even as overall murder rate declines
"We can and should be investigating why communities of color suffer disproportionately high rates of violent crime"
right, but if you do mention it, you are told to butt out and pay attention to your own white community. Pointing out they need jobs, you get called a racist. Pointing out stable families statistically means black kids will have a better life... makes you a racist. Because if your white, your not allowed to talk about it.
fact is though, make the economy better and they will have a better chance. Put the Democrats in charge and they will make America into a Baltimore..... given enough time.
Murders in black communities are often left unexplored because many people there dont want to cooperate with police. Witnesses refuse to come forward, and often in these high crime areas, police are understaffed, working too many hours and become calloused by their perception of people who don't seem to care about their own community. (of course thats a generalization, but as long as your also making generalizations, thats just fine.)
