According to the article your number (1106) is wrong. It should be 11,106.
“Myth”??? It’s no myth.
If you check out the comments under the original article, not even the Liberals that read The Daily Beast are buying this steaming pile of an article.
This is correct, though I don't buy for a second that whites and hispanics commit violent crimes at approximately the same rate. While violent crime committed by Mexicans isn't as high as black violent crime in most areas, it is still far higher than what you see among white anglos. A quick look at the demographics of maximum security prisons shows a lot more black or brown faces relative to their numbers in the general population.
Not afraid, just utterly stupefied and exasperated that they have been angry for all of my 56 years, even after my family and I have repeatedly been pushed aside and penalized by minority preference programs, not to mention the countless tax dollars that have been ripped off from my income for the express purpose giving them the opportunities that they incessantly bitch about not having. Now Obama is deliberately wrecking our healthcare system and our country using, in part, them as an excuse.
I have REPEATEDLY done my part. It is LONG PAST HIGH TIME THE BLACK COMMUNITY DOES THEIR PART.
Trayvon Martin was a black Assault thug.
Thanks for posting.
I wrote a similar white-Hispanic “perpetrator” post at Comment #39.
But, I was not aware that Latinos were singled out for special treatment as crime “victims.”
children, not teen gang-bangers
Sadly, teen thugs are considered "children" by the legal system and by many in society. Trayvon Martin was repeatedly referred to as a "child," conjuring up the public image of him as a sweet, innocent little kid instead of a hulking, late adolescent hoodlum.
However, I read through 4 published academic crime studies on Google, and there are statistics that support the general idea that Hispanic and white crime rates are about the same.
The big question, though, is how accurate and how rigorous are those studies?
Intuitively, and based just on Hispanic gang activity by itself, my instincts say “BULL!”
I thought that 1106 number looked WAY off, too.
Yes, black-on-black crime is a myth.
Black crime is also a myth.
The reality is crazy a$$ cracker crime. Got it?
Good.
He reminds me of a heavier Steve Urkel.
Yep. I love to make the comparison between Boise, ID (my hometown), and Little Rock, AR (where I used to work). Both are comparable size, are state capitals, and have metro areas of roughly half a million.
But according to CityData.com, in 2011, there was one murder in Boise...ONE, and it was a strangulation (since I've been living here, the highest yearly murder rate was 10). In Little Rock, there were 37 murders in 2011. In fact, since I moved here in 2004, the year with the most murders was '07, during which there were 10. In Little Rock, the number was 51. In the 13 years between '99 and '11, there have been an average of 3.6 murders in Boise. In Little Rock, the average is 38.7/year.
Both metro areas are roughly the same size, and both have a so-called "gun culture"...so why the stark difference in murder rates? You said it...it's the "culture".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Break that down further. Black males between 15-29 make up 3-4% of the population.
BINGO
You are correct. My bad. Thank you.
the author mentions and then glosses over and disregards as not relavent the sheer level of “black” crime - blacks convicted for property &/or violent crime, which is disproportionate to the black population as a % of the total population and THAT fact is what makes “black on black” crime case relevant
so what if 86% of “white victims” are victims of a “white” perp; of the total “white” population, what % do “white victims” make up
then do the math for “black victims” of “black perps” as a % of the “black” population - you’ll find the % are higher because the incidence, the number of incidence are higher - thus, giving the “black on black” case relevance
Thanks for the picture. It explains a lot. Ol’ Jamelle is probably desperate to establish his “cred” with those looks, so we writes this crazy stuff.
