Bowleys Quarters is not safe area for Blacks (Baltimore: live in, murders)

[Infinite_heights77]

It's because they think you're intellectually inferior to them, and most Blacks cry like babies (some do, but that's not the point) about something they had no control over. History is complicated and complex, and folks like CH love to trivialize and reduce Black people to their lowest common denominator.

Baltiplanner, you know you'll be challenged with these statistics you've posted. LOL! Thanks for posting! People kill who they are closest too. It's so simple.

Homicides committed by Blacks on Whites: 189 (7.6%)

Total Homicides Committed by Whites: 3,005
Homicides committed by Whites on other Whites: 2,509 (83.5%)
Homicides committed by Whites on Blacks: 409 (13.6%)

White people are still far more likely to kill blacks than the other way around.

HOWEVER, we should all note that while Blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population they account for 44% of charged murderers, 33% of rapists, 55% of robbers, and 34% of aggravated assault perpetrators.

Social dysfunction and criminal activity are disproportionately concentrated within the U.S black population. You can decide for yourselves why that is but we should all begin our conversations with the same facts on the matter.

Uh, this wasn't a country before 1776.

Injustices? Oh you mean affirmative action.

I agree.

Ok, we can have an adequate and intelligent conversation about the Civil Rights Movement and affirmative action if you'd like. If one looks at these movements a little more critically, they weren't meant to benefit most African Americans, just a small minority group of Blacks who had nearly assimilated into the American mainstream. If you think that the American Civil Rights Movement was set out to help ALL blacks, advance development and programs...you've been sadly missed informed.

Define the differences among "nearly assimilated blacks" and, I guess, partly assimilated and unassimilated. These terms in that context are unfamiliar.

And speaking of those Bowley's Quarters boys, here is their black counterpart.

Wrong interpretation on 1st point. You need to use total # of interracial homicides as the universe. Then see % of white-on-black vs. black-on-white. Your data show only that blacks are more likely to kill each other more than whites. That's common knowledge.

Thanks for posting.. of course it was totally ignored. Blacks are far more likely to be murdered walking through the heart of the worst parts of West Baltimore than Whites...but that is not the popular thinking....
