re: For some facts, 2010 murder statistics (Posted on 3/27/12 at 12:22 a.m. to Tigerholic)
After Jessie Jackson made his “blacks are under attack” comment I wondered if there was any statistical data upon which to base his claim.
Here’s some numbers from the 2010 FBI #’s ( 2010 FBI) and the 2010 US Census ( 2010 US Census):
a) 196,817,552 (# of non-Hispanic/Latino whites) = 63.7% of the population
b) 42,020,743 (# of “Black or African American alone or in combination”) = 13.6% of the population
c) There were 447 whites killed by blacks
d) There were 218 blacks killed by whites
e) There were 2,459 blacks killed by blacks (shown for reference only)
This shows:
a) That for every 902,833 white people 1 black was killed
b) That for every 94,006 black people 1 white was killed
c) A white person is 9.6X more likely to be killed by a black person than vice-versa.
This statistically refutes Jessie Jackson’s assertion.
Like someone told me way back in the mid 60’s:
“DON’T GIVE ME ANY FACTS, MY MIND IS MADE UP!”
