Destruction in black America is self-inflicted
Jewish World Review ^ | 6 Sept 2007 | Jeff Jacoby

Posted on 09/06/2007 9:43:55 AM PDT by Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus

After the debate, a young black woman accosted me indignantly. Ninety-plus percent of black blood is shed by black hands? What about all the victims of white supremacists? Hadn't I heard of lynching? Hadn't I heard of James Byrd, who died so horribly in Jasper, Texas? When I assured her that Byrd's murder by whites was utterly untypical of most black homicide, she was dubious. So I asked for an e-mail address, and promised to send her a link to the FBI's violent-crime statistics.

I thought of that young woman when I read recently about James Ford Seale, the former Mississippi Klansman sentenced last month to three life terms in prison for his role in murdering two black teenagers 43 years ago. The killing of Charles Moore and Henry Dee in 1964 was one of several unsolved civil-rights-era crimes that prosecutors in the South have reopened in recent years. Seale's trial was a vivid reminder of the days when racial contempt was a deadly fact of life in much of the country. His sentence proclaims even more vividly the transformation of America since then. White racism, once such a murderous force, is now associated mostly with feeble has-beens.

Re: #8, don’t let the Calipornians/”illegals are everything” crowd see those stats. They tell me that most blacks are killed by illegals, who are also spreading AIDS and killing our children for Taco meat. ;-)

Very true, but the plantation mentality of the RAT party toward blacks is a major factor. Keep ‘em dependent on handouts and they’ll vote for the party that promises more handouts. The RATS have zero interest in improving the lot of poor blacks.

I've sensed a major shift change in the attitudes of black Americans in the last couple of years.

I can even trace it back to a specific occasion, too . . . it was Bill Cosby's infamous "rant of shame" back in 2004. It is no accident that this all began at nearly the exact same time that Hispanics surpassed blacks as the nation's largest minority group.

I wonder what percentage of the murders were gang related? Whether directly or indirectly.

I do not have stats for that. What I can say is that far and away the largest age segment of US murder victims is the 18-24 demographic - the prime age of activity for active gang members.

My guess would be more than half are gang-related.

"That's 46% of US murders in 2005."

A culturally sensitive person would view that number in the context of the very real tension between the "east coast vs. west coast" hip hop scene in which light, the blood shed might be more easily understood. The serious issues arising between adherents of the "old skool" and "new skool" rap movements are of such social magnitude that placing losses in merely human terms pale in comparison to the ideals for which these men have given their lives.

LOL!

The fact is that most murder victims are murdered by someone of their own racial background.

86% of whites were murdered by whites, not lowriders.

“The neat thing about this is that by denouncing and blaming their own group, race or country they exclude theselves from the group in question.”

Bullseye!

A fundamental pillar of the liberal mindset:

“Look at me. I’m progressive and intelligent unlike those OTHER white, racist Christian hillbillies.”

.......Or variants thereof......

You have fulfilled the FR law. Congrats.

Law # 7: Any FR thread involving black people must contain the words “Uncle Tom” and “plantation”.

Correct. I am more likely, actually, to be murdered by my brother-in-law than anyone named Carlos or Latrell.

Too funny, but also sad.

I would guess that the number one motive in those murders is robbery, but that the number two motive is "honor" - i.e. that mutha****a disrespected me and now he better recognize.

There’s nobody smarter or better at her job than a motivated black woman without a ‘tude.’

Nobody more charming than a black man with the same characteristics.

However, those people are not the majority of blacks.

I would rather have a Mexican worker. They do work hard, are friendly and pleasant and try to please you.

I like them a lot, as long as they are legal.

[.. In 2005 there were 16,900 murders in the US. About 8,280 of those murdered were black Americans. About 7,780 of those black murder victims were murdered by other black Americans. That's 46% of US murders in 2005. ..]

American Black culture is toxic... to ANY race..

Good point. I have long maintained it has nothing to do with being black. It has everything to do with an urban sub-culture that more resembles a cargo cult. Until the bulk of black folks abandon the race-baiting pimps, I do not see much hope at all for black-urban society.

Yes, and blacks CONTINUE to destroy themselves by voting in overwhelming majorities for the same Democrats who replaced their fathers with the welfare drug via the "Ingrate Society". Addictions are hard to break, but there you go.

It's been decades now - - how long will it take for blacks to realize that the empty promises and shameless campaign-season pandering they get every two years from Democrats is nothing less than a vicious, mocking slap in the face?

I don't get it and I never will.

Okay not really...

The FBI, by definition, is looking for people on federal murder charges - charges that result when murderers cross state lines and national boundaries.

It makes perfect sense that Hispanic illegal immigrants would have the lion's share of any such list.

Of the 74 people on this list, there are only 4 or 5 black suspects, or 6%.

However blacks commit 52% of US murders - so clearly this list is not statistiscally representative of US murders, but of the much smaller subset of US federal murder indictments.
