To the Black Lives Matter crowd, it seems that most black lives dont. Roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered each year more than 90 percent by other blacks. To some Democrats, only those shot by white police officers or white bigots seem to matter.
Just 25 percent of about 400 local police killings a year involve a white cop and a black victim, an FBI study found. Shootings of blacks by police has been cut in half since 1981. For every black person killed by a white cop, black criminals murder 70. It is 25 times more likely a black person will commit a crime of violence against a white person than vice versa.
Theres so much crime in inner-city black communities because theyre poor, some say. They have it backward. If poverty caused crime, crime rates wouldnt fall during recessions; wouldnt be much lower in poor rural counties than in cities, where incomes are higher. When crime rates are adjusted for familial risk factors, the correlation between poverty and crime all but disappears, Swedish researchers found.
Weve spent more on the War on Poverty than on all of Americas real wars combined. As social service spending exploded, urban decay accelerated. Crime causes poverty. Businesses flee violence-riddled neighborhoods, taking jobs with them. Property values fall. More than 60 percent of prison inmates 85 percent of juveniles who interface with the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate. Rotten schools stunt millions of black lives.
A reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. About 80 percent of youths in prison grew up without a dad at home...

Genesis 6: 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said , I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them...11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt ; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Jesus said one of the "clear signs of His return" was that the world would be similar to the "days of Noah". Violence was epidemic with little restraint. As we sit and watch America decline into politically correct anarchy, it is not difficult to imagine that Noah's day was similar.
Our government has subsidized and supported illegitimacy (fatherless households) in this country since the 1960s. Illegitimacy is the #1 factor in violence and poverty in this country. Yet our elites, politicians, and media have continually shamed anyone speaking out against these outrageous practices as "racist".
I have no doubt that the "days of Noah" were led by corrupt politicians willing to do anything to placate the masses, steal votes, and stay in power...except tell the inconvenient truth!
Inconvenient truths the article states...
1. ~7,000 blacks murdered yearly, 90%+ percent by blacks.
2. Only 25 percent of ~400 local police killings a year involve a white cop and a black victim
3. For every black person killed by a white cop, black criminals murder 70.
4. It is 25 times more likely a black person will commit a crime of violence against a white person than vice versa.
5. America has spent more on the War on Poverty than on all of Americas real wars combined yet the poverty rate is the same as 1965.

8. Only 2 percent of poor teens who finish high school, get a job and get married before having children end up living in poverty as adults, the Brookings Institution found.
Sorry Kelly, rotten students make rotten schools. Read Robert Weissburg’s “Bad Students, Not Bad Schools.”
FWIW: It’s vain to point fingers of causality back and forth between widespread poverty and crime. Both are fed from spiritual evil.
All human life matters, including the ones who have not gotten out of their mom’s uterus yet and the ones who are handicapped and old.
Okay???(shaking head)
