Trump takes heat for tweet about black murder rates
The Hill ^ | November 22, 2015 | Cory Bennett

Posted on 11/22/2015 2:15:21 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump is taking heat on social media for a Sunday afternoon tweet of statistics purporting to show that the vast majority of murdered black people in the U.S. are killed by other black people.

The tweet was apparently Trump’s response to a Twitter thread about support from white supremacists for the GOP front-runner.

It also comes the day after a Black Lives Matter protester said he was physically and verbally assaulted at a Trump rally.

The image Trump posted includes a list of “USA Crime Statistics ~ 2015.” The two that are highlighted are “Blacks Killed by Police ~~ 1%” and “Blacks Killed by Blacks ~~ 97%.”

A drawing of a black man wielding a sideways pistol and wearing army pants, military boots and a bandana and mask accompanies the statistics, which are sourced to the “Crime Statistics Bureau” in San Francisco. (continued)

I just love the way he doesn’t cower and the way he takes on the media and the PC establishment - he does not mince words. He says it in a way that anyone can understand.

He understand that he’s giving voice to what a vast majority believe.

Keep dishing it out Trump!

“blacks were 12.2% of the US population yet accounted for 52.2% of all homicides committed.”
Yes, and you can narrow that down even more by excluding children, women, and older people from the stats. Take out women, and you’re at around 6%. Older folks, and you’re at 3 1/2%, and so on.

Truth and facts to Liberals are like a spray of holy water on a vampire. They just don’t react well to it.

That is so true. And their weapon against it is just total illogical denial and mindless outrage.

It was a tweet he was mentioned in and he retweeted it — stop your lies or learn to read

Before I left Friday morning, I clicked on the Today show and caught the 7am headline news. Trump has said something, according to them, that was absolutely creating a firestorm. By the time I heard the story, it has already been laid to rest, mostly. Some RINOs are still sniffing the story out, trying to find something bad.

It’s really quite funny (and brilliant) the way Trump toys with the media.

He purposefully says something he knows that:
1. The vast majority agrees with and
2. That the media will see as a huge blunder, the one that will finally put him away, so
3. They give it nonstop coverage, which is what he wants.
4. This accomplishes two things: it sucks all the air from the other candidates, and it saves him a bundle in ads.

He’s done this over and over - pure genius, and the lame media still hasn’t caught on!

Liberals can't stand the truth. Or much else, either.

If you want to make a Conservative mad, tell a lie.

If you want to make a Liberal mad, tell the truth.”

If you want to make them insane, make them repeat the truth you just told them.

Yep.

Imagine if a disease which touched only 3% of the population actually accounted for half of all deaths.

It would be a national epidemic. Yet the govt and the media remain silent in the face of this onslaught.

The first poll was an outlier you say. Maybe the second will satisfy you. Oh! You do not believe the second? Maybe the third will seal the deal. Not the third? Maybe the fourth poll will convince you. None of these polls are credible you say. No problem. Keep disbelieving the polls even when Trump is president. The more you fight it the stronger he becomes. Sigh! ,/img>

Truth hurts doesn’t it liberals..its not the cops killing blacks..its blacks killing blacks..like that 9 year old boy in Chicago who was ASSASSINATED by black gang banging thugs who lured him into an alley and shot him in the back and twice in the head. No protests in his honor, no vigil by Sharpton and Jackson..this boys parents were too busy buying new cars and protecting the gang banging thugs that killed their child to even give a damn
