Don’t White people kill each other, too?

And yet we keep hearing about Black-on-Black crime because it fits the false media narrative.

The truth? As the largest racial group, Whites commit the majority of crimes in America. In particular, Whites are responsible for the vast majority of violent crimes. With respect to aggravated assault, Whites led Blacks 2-1 in arrests; in forcible-rape cases, Whites led all racial and ethnic groups by more than 2-1. And in larceny theft, Whites led Blacks, again, more than 2-1.

Given this mathematical truth, would anyone encourage African Americans to begin shooting suspicious White males in their neighborhoods for fear that they’ll be raped, assaulted or murdered? Perhaps George Zimmerman’s defenders should answer that question. If African Americans were to act as irrationally as Zimmerman did, would any rationale suffice to avoid arrest?

And why is no consideration given to the fact that Trayvon Martin, and millions of Black boys and girls like him, harbor a reasonably founded fear of Whites but are hardly ever provided the deference and dignity that victimhood affords?

The term “Black on Black” crime is a destructive, racialized colloquialism that perpetuates an idea that Blacks are somehow more prone to violence. This is untrue and fully verifiable by FBI, DOJ and census (pdf) data. Yet the fallacy is so fixed that even African Americans have come to believe it.

In Michelle Alexander’s book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, she explains that the term was coined in the 1980s as American cities underwent transformation as a result of riots, White flight and the onslaught of the drug trade. David Wilson, a professor at the University of Illinois, documents the phenomena in Inventing Black-on-Black Violence. Wilson says that instead of attributing increased crime activity to poverty, inequality and disenfranchisement, the media chose to blame “a supposedly defective, aberrant Black culture.”

In a 2010 piece published by The Root, “The Myth of Black-on-Black Violence,” Natalie Hopkinson opines that journalists should follow the direction of the United Kingdom, where the Guardian newspaper banned the use of the phrase. A Guardian stylebook asked authors to ”imagine the police saying they were investigating an incident of White-on-White violence … ” Hopkinson concludes, “The term ‘Black-on-Black violence’ is a slander against the majority of law-abiding Black Americans, rich and poor, who get painted by this broad and crude brush.”

Trayvon Martin’s tragic death reveals the worst ills at play within America’s criminal-justice system. Not only was he murdered in large part because of dangerous, persistent stereotypes, but the failure of police to judiciously respond to the crime underscores the inequities that characterize institutionalized racism.

Those who respond to the tragedy by retreating to narratives of Black-on-Black crime seek to promote it as a defense against an innocent child’s violent homicide. This reveals how entrenched the lies have become and how eager too many people are to absolve both Zimmerman’s guilt and their own tacit consent.

African-American media and policymakers have been equally complicit in promoting a “Black-on-Black crime” anecdote, thinking that it could help address some of the community’s problems; but what it has actually done is provide support for racial profiling and promote the disproportionate policing of Black criminality as “legitimate” and “acceptable.” This over-policing has led to disproportionately higher rates of arrests in Black communities, reinforcing the idea that Blacks commit more crimes.

If we were to talk about “White-on-White crime,” then at least we’d be addressing issues like gun violence in a racially neutral way. That doesn’t happen because too many Americans remain convinced that Black or brown people are the problem. Respected journalists like George Will further perpetuate lies as fact when they make blanket statements that support an ill-conceived narrative.

As a numerical number

Is there any other kind?

[Gay State Conservative]

I have an Excel file somewhere from the official FBI website regarding US murder stats...broken down by race of killer and race of victim.IIRC the stats ate from 2009.They showed that interracial murder is quite rare in this country.The large majority of murder victims are killed by people of their own race.However,the stats did show that,when adjusted for population size,blacks murdering whites is more common than is whites murdering blacks.But,as I said,blacks murdering whites isn't common.

[ozzymandus]

The big lie. He’s not even a good liar.

[Gay State Conservative]

Ooops,didn’t realize that the stats I mentioned had already been posted.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

This might help but it is from DoJ annual survey of thousands of crime victims -- not the FBI. The FBI has murder by race of victim/offender but I do not believe that they have sexual assaults that way. The following are DoJ data. I think the FBI has race of offender by type of crime but does not include victim.

Why did I stop at 2008? Because the Obama-Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People stopped releasing the Table 42 data -- probably because the survey (emphasis on survey) showed zero white on black assaults in several years and the pattern continued into the Obama years.

With respect to aggravated assault, Whites led Blacks 2-1 in arrests; in forcible-rape cases, Whites led all racial and ethnic groups by more than 2-1.

As I suspected, the author is fudging the facts.

Aggravated assault: whites - 194,981; blacks- 102,597. That's 1.89 to 1. Not 2 to 1.

Forcible rapes: whites - 9,504; blacks - 4,811. That is, of course, 1.97 to 1, not "more than 2-1."

Ass has been pointed out, Hispanic perps are lumped in with whites, distorting the raw numbers by an unknown percentage. Of course, they are probably all white Hispanics, so what difference, at this point in time, does it make?

[mj1234]

Well... I will jump in...
ANYONE can go down to your local court/jail
and see who has been arrested and will be arraigned
in court... it is actually pretty fascinating- (I
have been asked more than once if I WAS their LAWYER!!-)

No, I am not a lawyer- I am white, middle aged looking
guy- because I showed up to watch the Proceedings
(Gee - why don’t they serve popcorn)- I am considered
a lawyer?!- Now that is Racist -LOL
(BTW I was going there to take my wife to lunch- she’s
the parole officer who will argue for jail time or release)— anyways some more fuel for the fire:

•Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
•When Blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-Blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
•Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the White rate.
•The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black and Hispanic.
•Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent.
•Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are Black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When Whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are Black.
•Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a White than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
•Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
•Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
•Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
•Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
•Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than Whites. Hispanics are three times more likely

[Politicalkiddo]

Uhm....Casey Anthony? Jodi Arias? Were they not killing white people? Were they not receiving tons of media coverage?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Troublemaker

[Salvation]

Mafia, yes. Normal people, no.

[vetvetdoug]

Don't white people kill each other, too?

Yes, they did to the tune of a half million over whether or not the black man deserved to be free or not. They seem to ignore that fact.

[wgmalabama]

I consider myself taken behind the wood shed. You are correct.

[BilLies]

Before I retired I worked with some people who reasoned like E W Wilson, people who thought they had discovered a TRUTH when they in fact were just jumbling up words that had heard from someone who knew what he/she was talking about. When you tried to reason with them, they thought you were just trying to put them down because of their race.
I think the MSM, ABCBSNBCNN & FOX copy staffs work under the same delusions.
I would love to see this article reprinted in my local Obama Orifice and Outlet publication for proof.

[Mears]

“Somebody really should explain percentages to this guy.”

Astonishing. I learned in 5th grade math class how to do the math on stats like this.

This guy must be an idiot.

[woofie]

Ive noticed a rash of murders by Butlers......

[pallis]

This is clearly not someone who is interested in truth, much less percentages, statistics and ratios. He is also another loser who is helpless in the face of black on black crime, so he has joined the crowd, looking for white guys to blame.

[Mark17]

Lets wait to see if Suge Knight survives and let him give us his opinion.

That nerd really is a piece of work, isn't he?

[Kirkwood]

You’re using white man’s math.

/s

[ExCTCitizen]

Excuse me E W Williams, but you aren’t a math major. Yes, whites thugs do kill white victims, but it is by per capita LESS than black on black crime.
