The Danger of the “Black Lives Matter” Movement (Shocking Crime Stats Laid Bare- Gasp)

Standard anti-cop ideology, whether emanating from the ACLU or the academy, holds that law enforcement actions are racist if they don’t mirror population data. New York City illustrates why that expectation is so misguided. Blacks make up 23 percent of New York City’s population, but they commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime, according to victims and witnesses. Add Hispanic shootings and you account for 98 percent of all illegal gunfire in the city. Whites are 33 percent of the city’s population, but they commit fewer than two percent of all shootings, four percent of all robberies, and five percent of all violent crime. These disparities mean that virtually every time the police in New York are called out on a gun run–meaning that someone has just been shot–they are being summoned to minority neighborhoods looking for minority suspects.

This is why it is impossible to have a discussion with any blacklivesmatter person. These numbers are unbelievable. They are shocking. You wish they weren't real and that they would go away. But, the truth is still truth, even if it's ugly and these are some very, very ugly truths.

It’s grand sport to raise hell (rather than work).

They should fix the above banner to read- "Stop Killing, Black People"

A comma can do mighty things.

Precisely.

I've tried, believe me.

The most common results are being blocked-almost immediately-and having the same erroneous assertions regurgitated-even after they've been debunked by me earlier in the conversation.

Thanks for posting this! Imprimis is an AWESOME publication that I recommend to all conservatives! We look forward to it every month.

I’m sure it is just as dramatic for “black on white” violence vs. “white on black” violence. I’m sure the statistics show the violence is coming from blacks attacking whites, not the other way around.

You need to read the article rather than suggest a different “banner”.

Read it and find out.

Why should I care about black on black murders? I mind my own business and I stay out of their neighborhoods.

According to Obama, black criminals are just "victims of the system."

No difference of kind from the Bureau of Land Management...

Almost done reading “White Girl Bleed A Lot” by Colin Flaherty. It’s quite an eye opener. Summer carnivals and 4th of July celebration around the country are routinely shut down or canceled all together because of black mob violence. Police departments often neglect to file paperwork concerning crimes committed by black people. I highly recommend subscribing to Colin’s YouTube channel.

BLM only when a white person defends themselves against a violent person of color.

See, that's the thing. White people are really good at a lot of things. We build beautiful, wonderful civilizations, for example and we make delightful hosts. That is one of our weaknesses, however, as our civilizations attract so much attention. Everyone wants to live in a White civilization, and very few people actually want to stay put.

That being said, White people also like to solve problems. We don't like to fold our hands and watch things fly apart. But to fix a horrible problem like this, to "fix" the murder of millions of people, you at the very least must be able to speak of the problem. Imagine a doctor trying to cure a nasty case of cancer in a patient that wasn't willing to admit they had cancer. There are many causes, focusing on the breakup of the family and help from our friends in Hollywood and the media, and this is definitely a problem that could be fixed. It can't be fixed with fisticuffs, shouting down and primal chanting. I guess we just think things through to much. Maybe it is a problem with no solution.

Purely bad luck...

Believe me, I’ve made precisely these arguments, only using three large cities and a statistical extension to medium-size cities. People who consider themselves quite bright are completely incapable of processing the numbers, no matter how obvious they are.

The response is invariably some anecdotal reference to a friend who was hassled by cops, even though he was a university professor, or some other useless and meaningless tale.

The truth is that whites experience arrest-related deaths at rates higher than their demographic representation. It’s pretty frustrating.

This is part of the danger of building a movement based upon lies and violence.

And then of course, look at how White people have been treated in the last few years-- the Knockout beatings, setting people on fire (you don't hear much about that,) the killings-- any one such event, if the races reversed, would cause Obama to march to Selma again.

Again, if we cannot discuss these things in a rational manner, then there is no solution.
