PITTSBURGH (AP) At the start of every month, the same image of a pistol points from the same place on the front page of the New Pittsburgh Courier, above the same caption: Under Attack By Us!
The only thing that changes is the number of the dead.
75 of 91 homicides Black lives, read a recent headline in the renowned Black newspapers crusade against Black-on-Black violence. It was accompanied, as always, by a literal body count: The name, race and manner of death for every homicide in Pittsburgh in 2014 with victims being overwhelmingly Black, as the headline shows.

Well, good on you Sir; good luck having the race hustlers meet with you though.
This whole thing is soooo stupid.
Since black men are overwhelmingly involved in killing each other, and engaging in the criminal and uncivilized behavior that leads to these killings, why would anyone be surprised that when cops end up killing someone it is a black male? Do people think the cops will show up to a drug deal gone bad and find a 56 year old white woman on the scene?
Why is it that black communities are hardest hit by poverty and unemployment? Why are abortions performed in greater number than non-black groups? Is it because they are genetically disposed or is there some other causal factor that is being overlooked?
I personally do not believe in the argument for genetic superiority/inferiority. Given the proper environmental conditions and stimuli, humans have the ability to advance.
Not only are over ninety percent of blacks killed by other blacks, the “whites” supposedly killing a small pct. of blacks are actually Hispanics. For p.c. purposes, many Hispanics are classified as whites. Like George Zimmerman. Many blacks are killed in Hispanic-black gang wars. Non-Hispanic whites kill only a tiny pct. of blacks.
“Given the proper environmental conditions and stimuli, humans have the ability to advance.”
This is from an earlier thread on FR about an article on violence in young children in Baltimore schools published in today’s Baltimore Sun. It’s pretty much how the stress of living with violence and fear affect the kids’ behavior and intellect.

This is research that is both explanatory and awful.
Carrion has compared the MRI brain scans of highly stressed children, including those who live amid violence, to those of healthy youngsters. They showed overall decreased brain volume in children with high cortisol levels. Key areas responsible for complex learning also were smaller. The work, among the newest findings in the field, is still in its early stages and needs more development, but some scientists consider it significant.
Researchers like Carrion believe that in a child who cant sit still in school, or is so agitated that he or she throws a chair the brain is so busy fending off stress that other key areas dont develop properly. Carrions scans of stressed children found a smaller prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for executive functions such as attention span, planning and organizing, goal-setting and behavior control. Carrion also gave the stressed children attention and memory tests and the prefrontal cortex was not as active.
Other brain scan studies showed stunted growth of the hippocampus, which may inhibit a childs ability to form new memories, learn or control emotions. The symptoms were worse for kids who experienced trauma more directly, Carrion said.
Thank you for providing the very informative link.
Can we get a handle on that numnber?
And as a further breakdown, can we get how many were self-defense, and how many were simply cops doing their job?
But when's the last time to read about non-Hispanic whites burning black people? There's been a number of instances lately of blacks assaulting and burning whites. White on black knockout games? Whites sexually assaulting elderly black women? Or just black women? The rate of whites sexually assaulting black women is so low it's a statistical zero. However, the black on white rape total is in the thousands.
I'm led to assume the non-Hispanic white on black crime rate is extremely low.
