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)

Trump keeps throwing the PC untouchable topics into the discussion ring.

Everyone with an IQ over 50 knows that black lives don’t count when American Black thugs slaughter each other and innocent blacks daily/nightly and pick up the pace each weekend.

They gotta get those black folks out somehow.

If they can't get them fired up about a dumpy 70 year old hippy then hatred for Donald Trump the white supremacist will do just as well.

Heck, he's practically a grand wizard.

If you take crime committed by blacks out of the figures, violent crime drops hugely in the U.S.

Then, factor out the crimes committed by the broad ethinic description, Hispanics (Probably 90% of the crimes committed by so called Hispanics are illegals in blue cities/blue states), our crime rate goes down even lower.

Add the deranged Trump haters on FR to your thesis for even more reality. They haven’t figured out how he makes them and their mediot buddies look like idiot thugs.

t’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!

A Journ-o-List has a functioning IQ barely above room temperature. When I was in college, a female journalism student were the girls we gave the “4-F” treatment. Nobody took them seriously, or took them home to meet the parents. Sort of like a cheerleader(s) types for nerds.

Facts don’t lie:

I see nothing in your link that supports these stats:

And every time he says something controversial (something Libs don’t like) his poll numbers rise.

Everyone is up in arms about this tweet because apparently it’s not 97% of blacks killed by other blacks but 93%

It's about 89%, actually. The biggest biggest discrepancy is with the % of whites killed by blacks. It's not 81%, it's 15%.

So 31/2% can terrorize a nation when they are arrested many times and given a slap on the wrist until they actually murder someone and even then they do not get a life sentence. The liberal judges are the weak link in the chain of justice who teach the criminals to have even more contempt for the law then they would posses. Imagine being an 8 or 10 year old boy in a high crime neighborhood where you see criminal after criminal being let out on suspended sentences. It is not unusual of hear of a criminal who has been arrested 10 or 20 times. Are they given ten minutes behind bars for each crime? Plea bargaining by liberal judges is what causes much of the contempt for the law among many in the high crime areas.

The media have generally kept a tight blackout on such stats being circulated. But, if Trump’s tweet is able to break that blackout, that would be great.

There are some figures in your photo that are incorrect. However, the numbers don’t lie and facts are facts - if you remove black on black crime from U.S. crime statistics our numbers are at or below those in Europe.

Nobody outside of the MSM and Idiotsburg are buying into the BLM crap. It’s simply crap - as was Trayvon, Ferguson, and the recent stupidity at Mizzou. America is not a racist nation and there will always be a small number of ignorant people who hate others for reasons that have nothing to do with character. At some point you just have to say “their loss” and shake your head.

“”The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality ...”

Here’s something from Ralph W. Emerson:

“We give up the past to the objector, and yet we hope. He must explain this hope. We grant that human life is mean; but how did we find out that it was mean? What is the ground of this uneasiness of ours; of this old discontent? What is the universal sense of want and ignorance, but the fine innuendo by which the soul makes its enormous claim?”
