In the US, Blacks are perpetrating over half the murders. And they have been for years. Does any other country tolerate this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ ... er%20races.

"According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known.[52] Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races."

Blacks are not a small minority. The title is incorrect. I found a source from 2021 that states that African Americans are the second largest minority, behind Hispanics/Latinos.

A small minority might be near extinct indigenous native tribes.

Well, at least we are honoring some of the Native Americans in our history.

Harmeet Kaur of CNN wrote:A new quarter released on Monday celebrates a legendary figure who spent her life advocating for Indigenous people.

Wilma Mankiller, the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, is the third woman to be honored as part of the US Mint's "American Women Quarters Program."

The "tails" side of the coin depicts Mankiller in a traditional shawl looking to the future, with the seven-point star of the Cherokee Nation at her side. The "heads" side still depicts George Washington -- but in a portrait designed by the late sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser.

At an event commemorating the release of the quarter on Monday, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. spoke about the legacy of the tribe's former leader.

"Even years after her passing, Chief Mankiller is still making an impact," he said.

Well, you have to consider that African Americans do not hold near the wealth of white Americans. This means they live in more impoverished areas. Poverty is a big contributor to crimes such as murders. It is also a big contributor to gun crime. Given the wealth and income gap between African Americans and whites, it also means they are less likely to have access to mental health resources.

Add to that, lax gun laws and these contributing factors of poverty, little to no access to mental health, and it would only make sense that African Americans would probably commit most of the murders.

But it's not because they are "inferior" or black that is the reason they commit most of the gun crimes. It's because of the contributing factors of poverty (which whites are less likely to live in), lack of access to mental health (which whites are far more likely to be able to get access to), and easy access to guns. All these factors affect African Americans far more so than whites.

That's how Scamp wants it though. Limited access to education, to healthcare, to safe housing.

@Scamp Blacks actually don't commit as much crime as portrayed by the news. We discussed this in criminal justice back when I was Pre-Law. White males are more aggressive.

The Bureau of Census' Current Population Reports (1995) was an important source of data for the key classification variable. A parallel source of data was available on victims of aggressive crime through the National Criminal Victimization Survey. Findings show that blacks were over-represented among offenders in each category of aggressive crime. Whites and "others" were underrepresented among offenders. Blacks were at highly increased risk, relative to their representation in the Nation's population, for victimization in homicide and at some disadvantage (although not at a level appropriately denominated as risk in a statistical sense) for victimization in both sexual and aggravated assault. Episodes of criminal aggression initiated by white offenders accounted for slightly more than 73 percent of all single-offender episodes of aggressive crime, and episodes initiated by black offenders accounted for approximately 27 percent, so that white-perpetrated criminal aggression exceeded black-initiated criminal aggression at a ratio of 2.7 to 1. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-libra ... e-us-myths


That is just one study that studied aggression among black and white men. I copied the abstract.

There's a clear bias against blacks because who is writing the narrative, white men of course, the majority. So of course the white men will downplay their aggression and criminal incidents.

Why did I pick Chicago? because it's so proud to be number one in something!

1. Chicago

There were a total of 524 murders in Chicago in 2020 through September 6th. This figure was 345 during the same period in 2019. Overall, Chicago has a daily average of 2.1 murders so far in 2020.

Chicago is one of the main cities for the drug operations of Mexican drug cartels and local gangs. Please check out 13 U.S. cities that are home to Mexican drug cartels and 35 most dangerous cities in America in 2017.

Blacks are approximately 12.8% of the US population. Black males are half that say 6%. Black males between the age of 16 and 50 are maybe 3 or 4%.
So we have a 3-4% demographic minority committing over half the Murders and violent crime and gun crimes.
Spin it. :lol:

@Scamp

The median age for blacks in the USA is 32.

The average age for white people is 58.

Young people are more likely to commit murder.

So being black is correlated with being young which is correlated with homicide.

To deliberately ignore this and focus solely on race could be seen as racist.

Yes, this is science. Please look up the age statistics for homicide perpetrators.

Another thing that this racist “analysis” ignores is environmental effects, like lead exposure.

Exposure to airborne lead has been shown to lead to higher homicide rates.

And it is almost certainly true that black people in the USA are exposed to significantly higher levels of lead in their environment than white people.

There's no science here. There's you making excuses for criminal behavior because you are an idiot democrat (redundant).

I can see that you do not read my posts.

For the nth time, I think Biden, Obama, the Clintons, et al should be tried in the ICC for crimes against humanity. Like the Bushes, Trump, and other Washington elites.

But since you think there is no science, look up a study called “The relationship between lead exposure and homicide” by PB Stretesky and MJ Lynch that came out in 2001.
