The crime rate in the black community is SIGNIFICANTLY higher
And I agree with Saphirah, I don't like to directly mention races either, but someone brought it up, and I feel that these conversations should begin - like, everyone comes to the table, conversation-wise- from a basis of Truth. If we can't lay out the actual facts, there's no reason to even debate the points.
@hkc94501 , you're completely wrong about publishing the race of the victim. One true thing you said is that interracial violent crime is relatively rare anyway (a small % of the total violent crime), but if you'd like to bring it up, black-on-white is twice the rate of white-on-black.
A quick look here shows you that you can, indeed, easily obtain the perpetrator and victim race pairings of violent crime:
A quick look here reveals several facts, which does confirm what I've said earlier in this thread and in other posts, there is very little interracial crime anyway - nothing like CNN likes to portray, as if one race is slaughtering the other. The
truth is, most races are committing violent crimes against their own (including whites). But if you wanted to focus on the little bit of interracial violent crime that there is, here is the breakdown:
perp-on-vic:
- white-on-white: 2594 out of 3299 white victims (approx 80%, as I've said in other posts)
- black-on-black: 2574 out of 2906 black victims (88%)
- white-on-black: 246 out of 2906 black victims (approx 8%)
- black-on-white: 566 out of 3299 (approx 17%)
Totally different than the media portrays, in more than one way, isn't it?
Next,
It took me 5 minutes to get these facts from
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-43
355,244 violent crime arrests
209,848 white (59.1%) (1 % underrepresented, as the population is 60.1%)
129,346 black (36.4%) (2.7 times overrepresented, as the population is 13-14%)
I will stand corrected in my previous usage of "vast majority" - I should have referred to
ratios and
proportions, rather than using that term, since the majority actually ARE committed by whites (of course, they are the majority of the population, so that ratio holds to expectations)
Now, in all fairness, poverty and growing up in a fatherless household are also strong predictors of crime, statistically.
This is why America (and each group's culture, which plays a significant role) ought to be encouraging normal, 2-parent married households as much as possible - in the tax law, welfare structure and everywhere else. Right now welfare strongly incentivizes
not getting married - but still having kids. Even a cursory look at data trends shows that this policy has failed miserably, and led to huge rises in crime and poverty.
Honestly, in my opinion, that is what policy makers and social 'engineers' (which are everywhere now) ought to be focusing on.
I also take no joy in discussing race in this context, but the national conversation in this country has, frankly, gotten a bit ridiculous. We should start out figuring out what the truth is and go from there. Right now the truth is Taboo, and so, naturally, it's been suplemented with all kinds of alternative theories on why not everyone who wants to achieve or get out of crime & poverty has done so. The fact is, those alternative theories are not doing ANYONE any good - nobody.
