Donald Trump's notorious Twitter presence landed him in a little hot water with segments of the internet commentariat Sunday with a tweet about black-on-black crime.
Trump appears to have been arguing that the new national focus on criminal justice reform is perhaps misguided, as most slain African-Americans are killed by other African-Americans, not police officers.
Trump's argument and the graphic he shared immediately drew the ire of some thinkers.
Some argued that Trump was pandering to sentiment that was already prevalent within the Republican base.
Additionally, some took exception to the veracity of the claims in Trump's graphic, arguing particularly that the "whites killed by whites" number of 16 percent is actually far too low — that most white people murdered in the U.S. are killed by other whites, in numbers lower, but more similar to the black-on-black rate.
Right. Shocking in that Bill Whittle used their own statistics to show the lie.
In other words, the KKK, racist white cops and random white assassins are NOT constantly roaming the night targeting poor helpless African Americans. TOTALLY counter to the official narrative!/sarcasm
USA Crime Statistics 2015
Blacks killed by Whites 2%
Blacks killed by Police 1%
Whites killed by Police 3%
Whites killed by Whites 16%
Whites killed by Blacks 81%
Blacks killed by Blacks 97%
According to Jamelle Bouie’s tweet in response to Trump white people have been hearing this for years... (a lie) but I have to assume if we’ve been hearing it for years it must be true.
Good grief! The graph is all over Facebook...and it isn’t Trump’s creation!
Looks like Trump made a fool of himself. Apparently, the “Crime Statistics Bureau-San Francisco” doesn’t exist.
That would explain the discrepancy between the FBI stats and these.
I'm not sure it helps the cause when he shoots from the hip like this with inaccurate numbers. The white stats muddy the issue anyway. We just needed to point out blacks killed by cops vs. killed by black non-cops.
My only problem with this is the inaccuracy of at least one of the numbers.
90% Nonwhite Violent Crime Rate: FBI
NOVEMBER 3, 2015
Nonwhites commit at least 90 percent of all violent crimes in America, and the least white cities are the most dangerous, an analysis of the latest Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) crime statistics has revealed.
http://newobserveronline.com/90-nonwhite-violent-crime-rate-fbi/
The FBI’s own current (November 2015) list of most wanted murder suspects in the US is a case in point. It contains 71 suspects-of which only six are actually white, as can be seen from their mugshots.
Needless to say, the safest cities in America are those with the largest white populations, as this list of the 100 most safe cities shows.
That article is BS. It uses a number pulled out of thin air (the FBI top ten list is representative of all violent criminal suspects) to get that whites account for only 10% of all violent crime.
“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet,” said Abe Lincoln.
So whites account for more than 10% of violent crime?
There is no way to know what the true number is from the information. You can guess, but that’s all.
I just want everyone to think here, Trump echos our beliefs almost 100%, but please remember he’s a Leftist.
No other candidate would have the “_ _ _ _ s” to say something like this, but don’t you dare think he’s like one of us.
Sure he is hawking Reagan’s platform. Sure he sees the important issues as we do. Sure he thinks Black Lives Matters is almost psychotic in that they are glossing over the fact Blacks are the ones killing Blacks.
Just don’t think he’s someone we can identify with. And please, realize what a shame it is that he thinks he can identify with us.
How dare the man!

About darn time someone has the balls to tell the American people what the heck is going on!!!
You don’t see our ‘government controlled’ so called media do it, do you? NO, to darn chicken crap to look in the mirrors to find out what they really look like...
GO TRUMP, STAND UP, STAND TALL AND TELL THE WORLD TO GO TO HECK!!!
You’re likely right though there seems to have been a rather dramatic increase in black on White violence as of late (last 7 years). Still, everything else looks about right.
I saw this too. It is single victim, single offender. Very misleading. Wouldn’t count, for instance, the Knoxville Horror or the Witchita Massacre.

Absolutely well done, as was Bill’s video. Trump ought to run it.
Will bring out the true black on White crime rate too which is really, really bad.
There does seem to have been an increase in random, on the street crime, like the knock out stuff and some of those flash mob incidents. But I’m not sure than ANY crimes we read about in the news are numerous enough to change any stats.
If 87% of whites who are killed were being killed by blacks, let’s face it, things would be a lot different in this country.
Or so I’d like to think, but I could be wrong. After decades of blacks victimizing other blacks along with whites, etc. who would think that a “black lives matter” movement would spring up in defense of the thugs not the victims?
I can’t wait for the “jihadi’s lives matter” version to begin!
He is just showing there is a War on Whites.
