But then, against your anecdotal evidence, there are well known and verified statistics. That’s why we use statistics instead of anecdotal evidence in say.... medical studies.
“The July 2003 issue of the American Journal of Public Health published a massive study of spousal homicide. It was conducted by 18 experts in the medical field. The study states “Femicide, the homicide of women, is the leading cause of death in the United States among young African American women aged 15 to 45 years.” Most women are murdered by a male partner.
A previous issue of the journal published a study showing blacks males are even 33% more likely to kill their spouse if she is white instead of black.
According to the study, white females married to black males are 12.4 times more likely to be murdered by their husbands than white females married to white males. The same study shows that white men married to black women are 21.4 times more likely to be murdered by their wife than white men married to white women. The study shows that white women married to black men have the single highest risk of death by femicide of any married women in the US.

I wasn’t starting a fight.
“Such pairings” is an ambiguous phrase in the present context. The divorced husband/father of this doomed family is neither black, nor ghetto-bred. He is a conservative Christian Pacific Islander with an entrepreneur work ethic. His older son, unfortunately, suffered repeated traumatic brain injury. He’s the one who committed the murders, not Mumia Abu-Jamal.
The way commenters seize upon this as a news hook to display their tiresome Beware de Black Baby Daddy Narrative shows the amount of intellectual penetration and precision I associate with their opposite numbers over at BLM.
Fine. Granted. Irrelevant to this article.
I know, you were one of the few who referenced the concussive injuries, so I tried to make that point noting that I gave the other posters info to avoid hasty conclusions, to little avail.
Thank you....
That’s a topic you and I seriously diverge on dear
“Race” is an overused term at best-and liberals are the ones who keep it relevant-I guess they don’t read anything about archaeology or anthropology...
There are only 3 races-Caucasian, Black and Asian-but archaeological finds show that while those races might have been “pure” at one time, the lines have been blurred by interbreeding for 10’s of 1000’s of years-and people of African ancestry whose antecedents didn’t leave Africa until late in the game are the only ones who do not have any Neanderthal DNA-Asians and Caucasians have 2 to 4 percent. Are we going to say that those with no Neanderthal genes are less civilized more prone to violence?
The majority of Latinos in the New World are mostly Caucasian-but there are Black Latinos on the Caribbean Islands, Brazil and parts of Central America. There are Asian Latinos in the Philippines, and to mix it up more, in the New World you can add the ethnic Native Americans to the Latino mix-and those Native Americans were already a mix of Caucasian and Asian/Eurasian, at least 10,000 years ago...
I’m saying that races are too many 1000’s of years mixed together to be looked at as a litmus test of characteristics-it is not correct, given that those racial lines are so blurred. It makes more sense to look at ethnic and cultural mores, and family life.
Middle Easterners are mostly Caucasian-but I don’t want anything to do with any who are burqua wearing, sharia believing, jihadi worshipping muslims, because too many are terrorists-the same goes for the Asian muslims and the Black ones, if they are into that jihad thing. That is cultural and crosses racial and even ethnic lines.
Asians score as more intelligent as a group than Caucasians or Blacks-especially those in Asia-but their culture is rather rigid and disciplined.
African culture seems to have been chaotic ever since Egypt declined-it just seems to worship corruption and war-maybe we can blame the Romans for bringing Egypt underfoot-but I don’t think so.
Latino culture south of the border is almost as corrupt-check out a newscast or an episode of the narco mafia telenovela “El Senor de los Cielos” on Telemundo-non-stop body count-it is the culture...
Italian society in parts of Italy controlled by crime families is worse-it is the culture again. That is where any sensible improvement has to start-liberals can’t get beyond color, so the rest of us need to-that is the important thing, so I’ll get off my soapbox now......
They can save somebody else too, if ya can make them pay attention.
Good post.
I believe much of it is to do with the culture one was brought up in-extreme cultural differences are not conducive to harmony and happiness-look what happens with men of any color/ethnicity from muslim culture who date or marry women of any color/ethnicity raised in just about any other culture, especially in the US-doesn’t work well at all, and a lot of those women end up getting a restraining order to stay alive...
You are right. How you turn out is due to the family you are raised with. I grew up in a “lily white” town that had a few African families. They lived in houses just like mine, the father worked and the mother stayed home. They went to church, and they all graduated from high school and most of them went on to college. They came back to the class reunions and were successful in life.
Thank you-this bulls*** of it’s all about race, race, race is just tiresome-I believe it is it is about acting like a reasonable, civilized human being and making the teaching of the young to do the same part of any culture...
You bring up too many statistical facts that fly in the face of the modern “post-racialists” on the board.
Too bad. We’re not even near equal in terms of most things—not even close.
I think the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. But the drug lobby keeps it hush-hush because the class action suit would be massive.
Every drug-du-jour becomes the latest cash cow as soon as enough attorneys have enough clients with provable injuries to mount those monster class action suits-these will too...
People ask me why my family and I don’t take any drugs-I just say they don’t have a place in a natural lifestyle...
Yep. Even here, even on this site, we MUST sound and talk like liberals—we’re all the same, all differences are social constructs.
Look at post 83 for even better writing.
Samoans? Or mixed-race couples in my parish?
