They have one narrative for you. White men are bad and a threat.

HELL NO!!!!! DEATH BY HANGING OR THE CHAIR!!!

Black Americans have a 10 times higher rate of murdering white Americans than the reverse. This is a simple statistical fact, easily verified from FBI and census data. But odds are very good this comment will be deleted and I’ll be booted for 24 hours for saying so.

Easily verified?

Yes, thank you for providing half of the picture. You see there that blacks in America murder twice as many whites as the reverse. But I was talking about murder *rate*, which takes into account the size of the population in question. White people in the U.S. outnumber black people about 5 to 1, therefore the *rate* is 10 times higher.

Well that's a bit more than half.

So per capita then.

As seen in the chart, most of those murdered are by their own race or ethinicity.

Given that 'Whites' are the majority, it would make sense that there would be that much more possible situations in which they could be killed. More Walmarts are more likely to be shoplifted from than Joe Bob's Dry Grocers for a reason.

What's surprising is the number of 'Blacks' killed by 'Whites,' given this 5:1 imbalance.
After all, while neighborhoods that are majority 'Black' tend to be mixed to some degree, 'White' majority neighborhoods tend to be more exclusive, even the poorer ones.

Reasons for murders of course aren't included in the tabulation, nor number of arrests vs conviction. Most murders are probably 'collateral' crimes - occuring as secondaries to robbery, assault, rape, drug deals gone bad, etc - all which tends to be local.

Even though closer to half as much murder, given that 5:1 ratio, it's a higher number of 'Blacks,' expected to be murdered by 'Whites' since there's that much smaller a population for the situation to arise, and "Whites' tend to not be overly eager to venture into their neighborhoods, meaning an even smaller segment of that population would have had to venture into other areas where they might be targeted.

Then there's number of arrests vs convictions, which skews the numbers to some degree, given that until 2017, more 'Whites' were arrested for capital crimes, yet more 'Blacks' were convicted
- and that's just arrests. Not included are the numbers that were never caught or charged. 'Blacks' tending to get scrutinized more by law enforcement further skews the number to some degree as they are more likely to get arrested with less evidence.

So yeah, the number of 'Whites' killed by 'Blacks' (who tend to be poorer, poor folks having a greater tendency to commit crime) is shocking, but the number of "Blacks' killed by 'Whites' is even more of a surprise considering the smaller population to access.

What's shocking is the mental loops you use to justify a clear cultural issue, which only exacerbates the problem.

I'm almost tempted to ask what this "clear cultural issue" your amazingly informed deflection to is, but partisan hack ignorance can be so boring to indulge.

Hope the shock didn't debilitate you toooooo bady!

The clear cultural issue hooliganism in the black community and living and working near Minneapolis I am guessing I am more familiar with it than you are. But keep pretending you have an informed opinion and are not partisan when I can guess exactly how you think on every issue, and you have no idea who I am or what I believe.

Wait, did you say "justify" before? Of what, 'Whites' murdering 'Blacks"?

"hooliganism" is a culture? What is this, The Whisky c. 1979?

Save your illustrious anecdotes for your annual backwoods militia meetups.

Again of the two of us only one of us probably works with and has been around minorities. One of us probably has a broader scope of differing cultures as well.

When I said justify I was referring to you trying to make the numbers of black violence sound reasonable. That is the very definition of justify. So go back to your grooming at whatever college you attend and prepare yourself to push papers, pretend you are smart and preach from your high and distant podium of worthlessness :)

Oh, and who would that be, Mr LivesSomewhereThatIsNotMinneapolis?

You are a silly one, aren't you?
But feel free to continue pulling whatever deluded fantasies dipped in partisan hackery for the lulz out of the vast expanse of nothingness jammed between your plugged ears concerning that which I did not say.

Oh, and do go on with your gun culture rant, the 2nd Amenders here luv dhat shit.

That is gold medal mental gymnastics to say that white people murdering fewer black people is somehow worse. You tired from the workout?

And no, you indoctrinated idiot, poverty does not cause murder. You fail again.

And it took only 5 days for that (non-)retort instead of 5 months!

Last anyone checked, murder was somehow worse a lot for those undergoing it.
Getting killed is bad regardless how your color coded cues appraise the perpetrator, mkay?

Nevertheless, your delightful deflection via that delectable distortion is duly noted.

Thanks for playing!

How about we lay this out nice and mathematical ;)

All murders of blacks and whites, by blacks and whites = 6025
% of whites in the USA = 76%
% of blacks in the USA = 13%

So you would expect that the percentage of murders, if equally distributed based on racial makeup would be:

Whites should commit 76% of the murders (4597)
Blacks should commit 13% of the murders (807)

However, that isn't the distribution. It's quite different, in fact.

Whites committed 48% of the murders (2911)
Blacks committed 51% of the murders (3114)

The chances of being killed by a member of your own race is roughly equivalent, black or white. The amount is interesting in that if we examine the numbers through the lens of population percentages, the rate at which blacks commit murder on their own race is 6 times higher than the rate whites commit murder on their own race.

The number of blacks killed by whites makes that particular crime statistically improbable. It's an 8% chance. You have better odds of rolling a 4 at the craps table or flipping a coin 3 times and getting heads all 3 times. Whites are killed by blacks at double the rate of blacks by whites - when that number should be closer to 1/6th of what it is.

Now, someone tell me that the math is racist......

It’s because the news reports on strange and unusual events. Anything that happens on predictable or regular occurrences isn’t news. Just say’n.

"black man beats and murders a child in public. you hear absolutely nothing about it."

not true. now i've heard about it since you didn't keep your mouth shut :)
