"Who cares about cosmic inflation during the first seconds of the universe's existence when black people are getting shot left and right by police officers and vigilantes?" That is what Chanda Hsu Prescod-Weinstein, a postdoctoral fellow in physics at MIT, thought to herself upon hearing the news from Ferguson.
Are black people getting shot left and right by police officers and vigilantes?
***********
Feel free to peruse the FBI numbers yourself. I personally find them easier to understand than the “the first seconds of the universe’s existence.” Here is what I get from that data.
- The murder rate in the US has been cut in half in the last 25 years or so. In fact, the murder rate is very near the low point of the last century.
- Blacks are about 6 to 7 times more likely to get murdered than non-blacks. But they are also 6 to 7 times more likely to commit murder than non-blacks.
- If the above figures can be extrapolated, about 6,250 blacks get murdered in a year. About 5,700 of them are murdered by other blacks. The total of all fatal police shootings (black or not, the FBI does not break them down by race) is about 400 per year, and those are considered justified by the FBI.
Of course, the issue is never the issue. Ferguson is not about an epidemic of white cops shooting African-Americans. There is no such epidemic. Like most other “crises” that grace the front pages and TV screens, this one is made up. Made up to support political agendas.
Unfortunately, facts don’t matter. And for those with the agendas, neither does Ferguson.

I think a lot more blacks are shooting at each other than the whiteys are and even if we are it’s to prevent murder, thefts, burglaries, assaults, and rape...

Even more are being shot by other “African Americans.”
Why is no one upset about that?

They don’t like the police’s version of the knock out game?

Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.

Gee—And here I thought that some degree of intelligence was required to be associated with MIT.

If these numbers were half as bad as these drama queens insist, our murder rate would be nearly 0 as the murderers themselves would be dead by now...

How can we prove what a person thought when they heard about Ferguson? I call BS on this.

When one adds abortions to the murder rate it kinda blows the stats out of the water.....

Unless you’re quoting Bill Whittle in your post, I don’t think it will last long under the hot light of PC.
