Everyday gun violence is startling, with racial and urban disparities in Wisconsin ( barf alert)

"There is even more to the story: CDC data also show that within our nation’s cities, black Americans are, on average, eight times more likely to be killed by firearms than those who are white. The rate of death by gun homicide for black people exceeds those among whites in all 50 states, but there is tremendous variation in the magnitude of this disparity.

In 2015, a black person living in Wisconsin was 26 times more likely to be fatally shot than a white person in Wisconsin. At the same time, a black person in Arizona was “only” 3.2 times more likely than a white person to be killed by a gun.

The combination of being black and living in an urban area is even more deadly. In 2015, the black homicide rate for urban areas in Missouri was higher than the total death rate from any cause in New York state.

These differences across states occur primarily because the gap between levels of disadvantage among white and black Americans differs sharply by state. For example, Wisconsin — the state with the highest disparity between black and white firearm homicide rates — has the second-highest gap of any state between black and white incarceration rates, and the second-highest gap between black and white unemployment rates. Racial disparities in advantage translate into racial disparities in firearm violence victimization."

I got good news and bad news.....

Move to Arizona and your chances of being murdered black are only 3.2 times that of being murdered white.

I managed a Garden Center in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ We were located in what was once the ‘edge’ of the city, and adjacent to a high crime/low income area.

There were some problems through the years.

One day a black woman came into the store and started yelling from the moment she walked in, ‘Why are there no people of COLOR working here?’ And she continued to annoy my customers until I called the cops and had her escorted out.

What she didn’t know was that my ‘people of color’ weren’t working that shift, and through the years I tried very HARD to hire them, but they had to WORK and they didn’t like that, so they didn’t come back!

Another instance was when we had a group of a half-dozen black THUGS roaming around in the store in a pack. What did these kids NEED from a Garden Center? That would be - Nothing. Again, had to have the police escort them out. They had all kinds of names for me. *Rolleyes*

So, I TRIED - but how can one person change generations of this kind of behavior? I have no answers. Well, I do, but they’re not Politically Correct, and that is KEY to making a living as an, ‘Evil Capitalist’ in Madistan. ;)

All of the so called disparity is due to gang violence, black on black crime and the huge disparity in the number of violent crimes committed by blacks vs any other race. If this study were done in such a way to filter out inner-city crimes and gun violence the disparity would drop to near zero.

Articles like these only highlight the symptoms, not the disease.

A little to the south, in St. Louis inanimate objects have taken control of the minds in the local population. Here is the puppetry in action:

You can skip ahead to about 2:05 to see the racism inherent in the system.


What is really going on here is the Ferguson effect. If the cops are going to get in trouble for enforcing the law, they are going to take a step back and let the bad guys kill each other instead.

Is this happening in your town? Remember that when you vote.

To be fair to the general population of the more crime ridden urban areas, the citizens are being sacrificed, in part, due to the political struggle between minority race baiters and forces for civilization. The race baiters want dictatorial control in, what they see as, their kingdoms. They are villanizing the cops and the cops end up so abused they simply withdraw and the race baiters are happy — they control, such as it is, the hood.

Proggies are dishonest at heart and adolescent in mind. They’ll twist anything to convince others (and themselves) of their indoctrinated positions. They cannot allow themselves to see contrary truths, they cannot fairly debate or argue, they cannot admit error.

And what is the murder rate comparing blacks and whites on the south side of Chicago? Enough of political correctness.

“CDC data also show that within our nation’s cities, black Americans are, on average, eight times more likely to be killed by firearms than those who are white. ”

Who is shooting all these black folk? That’s the question we aren’t allowed to ask, let alone answer.

Well, with stats like these, it’s obvious. More white people need to die for social justice.

-—yeah—my daily glance at the Madistan-Milwaukee garbage wraps seem to indicate that the same “disease” that infects a few square blocks in Milwaukee seems to be slowly spreading to Madison-—

The author, as always, goes to extreme lengths to avoid finding the obvious.

Same thing happens almost every place where progressive policies are the norm.

Milwaukee Wisconsin was once a beautiful city, but we all know what happened.

Why are the demographics of those pulling the trigger NEVER discussed?
