I'm grumpy because before 8 a.m. I was being called anti-American. I'm a terror prior to coffee and it hasn't quite worn off. Besides, I HATE math and I particularly hate questions like this where every article you go to gives you different numbers for the same issue. So you glaum onto 52% and I seem to recall something more in line with TN's first study that said something like 30%. For something. I don't recall if it was murder or crime or what in hell they were measuring, but it's all a tricky bullshit waste of time and your numbers aren't any more trustworthy than mine, truth be told.S
See? Now that is not nice.GFY.Prove it.That's not what TN's stats say. Just goes to show it's easy to play with numbers. I know just from plain old common sense that blacks are not committing half the crime in this country.Really? You mean to tell me you do not know that blacks commit roughly 50% of the crime in the USA, yet only represent about 13% of the total population??? You need to find new sources of information.You sure? You got a link to that?
This has been true for decades. Where have you been?
However, if black crime rates were the guide, it would seem that blacks are, if anything, underrepresented in prison populations. The table below presents FBI data on homicide offenders. Blacks exceed all other groups in murders committed in 2013. In prior years it was actually worse.

Black Criminals, White Victims, and White Guilt
Blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population while they commit 52% of crime. In 2014 according to the FBI, 90% of black homicide victims were killed by other black people.
Honestly, this is where the protesting should be. Why are we allowing POC to kill each other? Why are we doing nothing to fix the crime in these places?

You dispute my post, but offer nothing to back your position.
Why?
What is probably more to the point is that the black community still has a poverty level three times that of the white community and I know from years of social work in an all white community that poor is where the majority of crime comes from.
Like I said a lot of posts ago, breaking the cycle of poverty is a big one but breaking the drug cartels that prey on our people and finding a way to reform our justice system to TREAT addicts rather than incarcerate them is one way to stop ruining poor people's lives. Once you've done time, your chances of EVER getting a decent job tank. Meaning a life of repeated crime. People gonna eat. You can't stop them until you shoot them.
