In the United States in 2011, the most recent year for which there are statistics, the FBI says there were 6,329 black people murdered. That does not include manslaughters and other non-murder homicides.
Nonetheless, it accounts for half of the murders in the country, and exceeds the number of whites murdered by about 500. That’s significant because blacks comprise a far smaller proportion of the population than do whites.
What percentage of murdered blacks are killed by other blacks?
In most cases, race of victim and perpetrator is not tracked. Of the 6,329 murdered black people in 2011, the FBI was able to identify the race of victim and perpetrator in 2,695 cases. Of those 2,695 black victims, 2,447 were murdered by other black people.
That’s 91 percent.
That means that – based on relatively low 2011 numbers – some 17 black people are murdered each day in the United States and 91 percent of them are killed by other blacks.
That’s fifteen a day.
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
The numbers for Missouri are even more staggering.
Most years, Missouri leads the nation in black homicides.

No, but they leave the family, the woman doesn’t usually, always, drive them away.
I’m not going to argue with you over degree of fault. I think one thing, you think another. ok.
Democrats they put them where they are and keep them so.
Exactly, they gassed reporters...for what? I think we may look back on these riots as a turning point to putting big government back in its proper perspective. Sure the community may not quite understand just yet, but this may be a first step. They are still looking to government and the indoctrination schools to fix things. That has to change and that kind of change only comes from setting oneself free.
I will post the 44th comment on this thread, and none of the previous 43 responded to the article, just a jumping off point for opinion expressing. Never read this Bob Lonsberry before, but his column is the best one I’ve read on this subject. He digs up the stat that 17 Blacks are murdered in the US daily, and 15 of those murders are by Blacks.
If the protesters/looters in north St.Louie had been properly napalmed earlier in the week, the violent crime problem in that whole part of the state would have been alleviated, perhaps for several years to come.
and we can remember this man then. If we run and/or hold our hands up in surrender, it might still end with us shot to death for disrespect, arguing, even fighting. Or nothing at all.
Darn! You're just not getting much traction here with your support of this poor dead inner-city sub-human thuggish piece of trash.
I know I’m not. But I don’t see any evidence that he was a sub human piece of trash. (now the looters, they are a different story)
Can’t help it. I have to say what I see. And disappointingly, it sure seems like a lot of FReepers are glad to have a stupid, stupid kid, man, gunned down like one of the dogs we hate to see gunned down.
You may be right, but I hope that you’ll manage to conceal your glee. It’s unbecoming.
My glee??? Is something wrong with you?? How anyone could get glee out of what I wrote?? You must be mistaking me for the one who says he’s laughing because the man is dead.
It turns out (much to your disappointment, I’m sure) that this poor child is actually a 6 foot 4 inch, almost 300 pound thug, and your response is that we should all worry that something like this would happen to us. That’s uncalled for and low. He’s a criminal.
No trisham, articles about this sort of thing are posted ALL THE TIME. There’s even a ping list for them, they’re so common these days.
It will be us, mark my words. You’ll see, much to my sorrow.
And I’m not supporting this man, I’m merely not sure he wasn’t shot down like one of our dogs, in the street.
Of course I know he was huge. Quit acting like a know it all. You aren’t. In this case, none of us are.
You don’t even act condescendingly very well. Calling him a child when I’ve uniformly called him a man. I know he wasn’t a boy, like others have claimed.
Abortionists.
Nothing else is even close.
My apologies. I’ll try harder to “act condescendingly” in the future.

Mr. Brown was just five minutes beyond his most recent strong-arm robbery and felony assault when his encounter with the officer occurred. Do you really believe he had completely reformed through some "come to Jesus" experience in that intervening five minutes?
No, I don't believe so. His only reformation occurred AFTER the last gasp of breath and last heartbeat occurred, which was AFTER he tried to knock out the officer, take his firearm, and escalate his crime spree to the murder level.
No, I absolutely do not believe that he reformed in ...10 minutes? or any number of minutes.
What I am believing has NOTHING to do with him, but only with the officer. I actually think every single party in this mess is guilty of plenty. Don’t act like I’m defending his behavior, I’m not. I’m saying that the cop shouldn’t have executed him, that what he did, did not rise to the level of the death penalty.
I’m hoping that some how, some way, there’s some excuse for the cop to have shot him down. It just doesn’t look like it at this moment.
I meant to say “if that’s what he did” sorry!!
Ok then! I’m sure with just the slightest of efforts, you’ll do much better!
