BLM is silent on the top killer of black kids
New York Post ^ | May 26, 2022 | Heather Mac Donald

Guns are the leading cause of death among children, new CDC statistics show. But while the horrific massacre in a Texas elementary school rightly outrages the nation, such mass shootings are not the primary reason for that grim statistic.

Most young people killed by guns are shot in gang violence or other crime — which has only gotten worse since the George Floyd race riots and their long anarchic aftermath.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
Black youth between the ages of 10 and 17 were killed at 11 times the rate of white youth in 2020. Virtually none of those black deaths was protested by Black Lives Matter activists, since the victims were killed overwhelmingly not by the police and not by whites but by other blacks — and thus did nothing to advance the narrative about lethal white supremacy. Blacks between the ages of 14 and 17 commit gun homicide at more than 10 times the rate of white and Hispanic teenagers combined.


Where's Beto? Where's Obama?

Blacks are their own worst enemy. Right behind pimps masquerading as politicians.

96.1 percent of homicide suspects arrested in New York City were either black, Hispanic or Asian. Additionally, 93.8 percent of robbery suspects were non-whites, 94.9 percent of rape suspects arrested were not white, and 97.8 percent of shooting suspects arrested in 2021 were non-whites.

The most dangerous persons for young black males is other young black males. Try and say that and you’ll get shouted down.

Nowhere because at the end of the day Black Lives Don’t Matter to other Blacks.

They would rather stay silent whether as to not be seen as a RAT or straight out of Fear for their own Lives at the hands of their fellow Blacks!

I grew up in Da Bronx and I know this to be true!

A white supremacist crime wave!

They have been conditioned on welfare for the baby mommas so they can go on with their self absorbed lives.

My friend’s Black friend brags about how he has 5 kids from 5 different black women and is married to none.

They’re following the dictates of Homeland Security - which tell us that the greatest threat to democracy - and to blacks, Asians and other POCs - is White Suprematists.

As long as this false narrative continues to be pushed and promoted, record killings of blacks - and attacks on Asians by blacks - will continue.

Guns are not the "number one killer of children" as claimed in the story.

Heather's stats with regard to the over-representation of black youth in the firearms related crime stats are accurate, but to quote the claim in the CDC "study" as fact is disappointing for someone as meticulous as Heather McDonald.

These "studies" have been using the same data manipulation for at least 30 years now by redefining the term "child" to include 18 and 19 year old "children". They even went so far back in the 90's to exclude children under the age of 1 because SIDS eclipsed firearm-related deaths for children.

According to that methodology, a 19-year-old mother would be considered a "child", but her 6-month-old baby would not be considered a child.

Unfortunately; people (mostly in the media) will simply regurgitate this claim as unassailable "fact" without looking at the data.

The most deadly place for blacks is inside a womb.

Of course anyone paying attention knows these stats. But like the article says, there is no power or money to be gained from black on black murder and crime so it is ignored or blamed on the white boogey man. Meanwhile more and more blacks and everone else dies.

“But while the horrific massacre in a Texas elementary school rightly outrages the nation”

OUTRAGE? WHY? Its a RARE occurrence. Because its KIDS?

Why not OUTRAGE over the the number of babies murdered in the womb?

SCIENTIFIC FACT, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.

“Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2018: 61.8 million+

186 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control)

U.S. Abortions in 2017: ~862,320 (Guttmacher Institute)

Abortions per day: 2362+ (GI)

Abortions per hour: 98+ (GI)

1 abortion every 37 seconds (GI)

13.5 abortions / 1000 women aged 15-44 in 2017 (GI)

These statistics include only surgical and medical abortions. Because many contraceptive measures are abortifacients (drugs that induce or cause abortions), it is important not to overlook the number of children killed by chemical abortions.

Since 1965, an average of 11 million women have used abortifacient methods of birth control in the United States at any given time. Using formulas based on the way the birth control pill works, pharmacy experts project that about 14 million chemical abortions occur in the United States each year, providing a projected total of well in excess of 610 million chemical abortions between 1965 and 2009.

Meanwhile more and more blacks and everyone else dies.

Nanzi Pelosi: "We kill half of all blacks by abortion. And blacks directly killing other blacks is fine as well. I just don't want any of that trash coming around my beautiful gated, guarded community."
