I like to put that in perspective that makes that number feel more real.
Now add three more to this one, and that will be close to the number they are talking about.
You'll want to be prepared to spend some time on this article because there's a lot here to be unpacked.
The current push for 'reparations' is not going fix this.
The reparations lunatics assure us that no black people anywhere will ever again commit any crime once they get their million dollar checks.

Not much has changed. In the 1970’s a study was done that found that urban black males has a 5% chance of being murdered by the time they were 40. This data was collected in the pre AIDS era and the rate of drug addiction was not as high in the 60’s and 70’s among blacks as it became later. Suspect the death rate from murder, drug overdoses, AIDS and hepatitis rose the death rate to closer to 10-15% by age 40 at its peak. Black leadership chronically blames racism but the real answers however difficult lie within the individual and the black community.

I own a rental house in a former mostly black neighborhood that is “gentrifying.” That means that a lot of really attractive lots were bought and built on and sold to whites. These are stick built homes as opposed to the mostly mobile homes that were there before.
Last year two black men started exchanging gunfire about three houses down from where my house is. According to witnesses, numerous shots were exchanged at ridiculous close ranges. The pair made their way down to the front of my house and proceeded to take a left at the intersecting street. Then (wait for it) they both went into a house several down from mine. No further shots were fired.
I got the story first from my renters and then from my black neighbor, the former air force sergeant, who lives near the house they ended up in. I felt my tonsils drying out as he as he confirmed the renter’s story. I said, “What the heck was that about?” He said, “N****r’s being n****rs.”
There’s something psychologists call “display behavior.” An example of this is when your cat puffs up, hisses and turns sideway to appear larger. When cops fire fifty rounds and none of the human “targets” get hit, that also is display behavior. There is generally a lot of drug trade in the neighborhood, and I notice the cops steer clear.
The numbers for all violent crime must be way higher
Luckily no one will ever learn this information because it will be branded “racist” and banned.
Another thing they won’t tell you is that nearly ALL those murders are committed by democrats.
What would the Marxist progressives have to say if a law was passed that allowed only black women to get abortions? Yeah, thought so.
Very interesting information, with much food for thought (even if the general picture is exactly what most Freepers assume).
Ramdom thoughts:
Statistics that show 4.5% of Black men will commit murder during their own lifetime, also show that 95.5% WILL NOT.
Treating every black guy as if they are a murderer is simultaneously a logical survival strategy, AND a cruel injustice against the non-murdering 95.5%. This creates an ethical dilemma, pitting self preservation against making choices based on racist assumptions. Based on the data, this is a much more pressing problem for the Black community than the White one.
Anyone who believes Black Lives Matter, ought to be focused on protecting black lives from murderers, by removing the murderers from society. Perversely, the BLM movement seeks to put black lives at greater risk by reducing police presence, treating normal legal standards as racist, and releasing dangerous criminals to prey on the public. The data makes it obvious that deaths at the hands of police are minimal compared to murders by non-police. Yet BLM focuses it’s propaganda and “protests” as if the opposite were the case. The “media” is complicit in a virtual holocaust of black lives by allowing this nonsense to stand.
This is nutty speculation, but I wonder whether incarcerating offenders has a straight-line effect, or if those who are not murdered because their potential murderers are incarcerated, are the exact sort most likely to commit murder themselves. (I.e., does the high rate of murder among the black male demographic tend to thin the pool of murderers, whereas innocent victims saved are a fairly minor portion.) I guess incarcerating enough over time would put a dent in the cycle.
In New Orleans, 1 in 14 black males will be murdered by 40, that is 7%. The converse, that roughly 7% will murder, is also true.
How many blacks there are living the life that readily leads to murder? A quarter? Half?
Fix it? Make it much worse. It only adds to their sense of entitlement and persecution. It also empowers them.
Surely we are coming to the end.
