Just sayin...

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.

Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher.

The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.
The FBI > The Examiner and blogs.

FBI — Table 1

71.9 percent of hate crimes were victims of an offender’s anti-black bias.
16.3 percent of hate crimes were victims of an anti-white bias.

That is correct, but the majority of interracial crimes are black-on-white, not white-on-black, unlike the claim of someone up above.

You mean the FBI right? It's not my claim, it's the claim of the FBI that most hate crime victims are black.

They need to stop reporting crap like this as national news. It should go no further than the local news.

Stuff like this becomes a "phenomenon" when news agencies make it newsworthy.

Except this has been happening in cities across the nation. It has been going on for years now. If just one incident took place like this where a group of whites knocked out a 70 year old black woman you can bet your ass it would be national news.

More blacks are killed by other blacks if you want to get into statistics. But you are trying to make excuses for this knockout game which is blacks targeting whites, that's the topic of this thread.

Actually, in Joliet,IL, 4 Whites murdered two Black men, and then did some disturbing things to the corpses. That never made national news.

I never heard about it on the news, period. I actually accidentally found it.
