Most people do not understand how concentrated the murder rate in the US. 31 counties (1%) account for over 40% of all murders.

Approximately 3% of the population (Black, male teens to 30s) account for almost half of the murders.

Yes. Take out young blacks killing each other and our murder rate is like Europe’s.

It’s a taboo thing to point out. But it shouldn’t be.

“Most people do not understand how concentrated the murder rate in the US. 31 counties (1%) account for over 40% of all murders.... “Approximately 3% of the population (Black, male teens to 30s) account for almost half of the murders.”

Yes, but even then the blacks committing the crimes, overwhelmingly against other blacks, represent a small % of the overall black population. Yes, it s a problem in the “black community” but due the facts mentioned, you cannot generalize the cause as due to their - the criminals - being black.

Prior to the 1960s the black population did not have that very disproportionate share of crimes. The 60s, socially and with help from wrong minded government programs and policies, saw the widescale destruction of the nuclear family among blacks, predominately in large cities, and particularly large northeast and midwest cities - where today we have some of the highest crime rates.

A former co-worker of mine told me what the cops in Indonesia did on a slow night. They would go over their criminal files and discover the 1% or so that did 98% of the violent crimes in their jurisdiction.

Then those perps would mysteriously end up dead in a street fight. They would launch an investigation into those mysterious deaths but, somehow, would never be able to discover it with any degree of certainty.

Those kind of people had lots of enemies, don't you know?

Respectfully, your figures are off by a mile. They constitute a gross defamation of African American youths.

Here is what you wrote
“Approximately 3% of the population (Black, male teens to 30s) account for almost half of the murders.”

Here are the facts:

1) The No. 1 cause of death in the USA is premeditated murder. (The willful and planned killing of an innocent human being) There were over 900,000 such murders last year. That is about 50% more deaths than from heart disease, and 55% more than from cancer.

2) Black male teens to 30’s commit fewer than 1% of these murders.

3) Over 98% of these murders are committed by ob-gyn doctors, 85% of whom are women and the strong majority are white.
