Clearly racism is involved here, so that charge should take all the killers off the street toot sweet, regardless of their race.
Right?
Right?
Is this thing on?
lol
“the fundamentally demographic nature of the enigma would emerge”
As well as the foundational ideology that created it?
“Gun deaths and gun violence are a national scourge that must be met with strict common-sense gun laws”
Right because when you outlaw guns, people stop buying them. /s off
Right. The Honkeys out there aren't doing enough to get themselves murdered in the appropriate numbers.
Using the left’s own weapon against them! The results of playing with the map definitely are not PC.
Going on a suggestion someone made earlier, the rational thing for an anti-gunner to want here would be to make gun ownership illegal for blacks.
On thing that has always bothered me is the “stop black on black crime” theme. The obvious implication is that if you are going to kill, why not kill whitey instead.
Actually this isn't exactly true...the 3.5MM number is the entire Baltimore-Washington Metro area which is a HUGE expanse extending from NE Maryland into Eastern West Virginia. Baltimore PROPER, which is reflected on the map is 64.34% Black or African American, 31.63% White.
Furthermore, the areas these crimes occurred are mostly Black neighborhoods.
That can be inferred, but its not shown. Only the victims are shown. If the perp information was available, it would likely be exactly what you infer and even worse than what the victims' race would indicate.
Clearly there are several things wrong with this:
1. Where are the Asian and Hispanic murders? Clearly the city needs to take appropriate measures to increase those numbers.
2. The push pin colors are all wrong. Clearly stabbings cause more blood than shootings. The stabbings should have red push pins and the shootings have black (for the color of gun powder).
3. The city needs to require their citizens to wear oven mitts at all times, in order to make choking more difficult to perform.
4. The push pins should be much smaller, in order to reduce the magnitude of the problem.
Gang bangers/drug dealers killing each other is not much of a concern for me. Innocent bystanders are different.
Hey, lets REALLY yank the chain of the libs .......
Lets propose that we ban possession of guns by blacks.

It is amazing.
There are 640,000 people in Baltimore. 405,000 are African-American.
Of that number 189,000 are African-American males (female-to-male ratio in Baltimore is 100:87.4).
Of that number, approximately 132,000 are African-American males under age 50 and approximately 85,000 of that number are African-American males between the ages of 18 and 50.
There were 282 homicides in Baltimore in 2007.
According to the map, 264 of the homicide victims were African-American, 248 of the homicide victims were African-American males, 242 of the homicide victims were African-American males under age 50 and 221 of the homicide victims were African-American males between the ages of 18 and 50.
In other words, African-American males between 18 and 50 are 13% of Baltimore's population and are 78% of Baltimore's homicide victims.
That means that approximately one out of every twelve 18 year old African-American males in the city of Baltimore can expect to be murdered by another African-American male before he reaches age 50.
I don’t know the answer, but my chief complaint is that gun control imposed on me and most of America is based on minority crime statistics.
What conservatives refuse to admit is that socialists regard American society as one giant family where we don't distinguish between these artificial social, economic and geographic components.
Gun violence is ALL our problem, brother comrades.
All hail the lowest common denominator!
I posted a statement several years ago that violent crime was primarily committed by young black men on young black men and was called everything but a white man. Then I went to the DOJ and pulled the data that proved what I said. This only confirms what I have known fore years.
IF the Baltimore Sun map went further ans showed the race of the perps, it would also show that the vast majority of them were of the same race as the victim.
We cannot make progress in solving any problem unless we can be honest with the problem in the first place. Not so strangely, these same people insist that we didn't have terrorism until we started to get forceful with terrorists. Seems like the same defective and dangerous thinking drives domestic as well as foreign policy.
I thought I bookmarked it now I can't find it arrrrrgh!
