Most likely close to 100%. There might be a white boy lackey in there somewhere but I've yet to see one.



Yeah there is. Show us ONE video of a white boy attacking another person. An elderly person or female of color, preferably if you can.

It sure wasn't three white men who attacked and killed my cousin. She didn't know them and had no interest in those people.

We hear their behavior hasn't improved in prison so when will they learn? If the behavior doesn't bring the desired results, why continue the violence?

I'm still amazed that you even believe that 1/2 of the murders are committed by black males. It should read that " Young black males are CONVICTED of 1/2 of the murders in this country" believe it or not there is a difference.

This is the way I look at it. On the occasion that a Black criminal commits a crime, said criminal is more likely to be caught, booked, tried, and then locked up. On the occasion that a Black person commits a crime, justice is far more likely to be served.

I wonder how many of these are black on black murders? I'm willing to bet a large portion of these murders are gang related in some way or are "turf wars." The whole "scary black man is going to murder White America" is more than a touch dramatic. I think in the inner city/urban areas of this nation there is a cultural problem and it's not just a "black" thing or a "white" thing it's an American thing. These are issues we need to solve in America yet we pretty consistently ignore them to our detriment.

I have noticed this. If there is money being involved, or if there are those who have an axe to grind when it comes to Blacks, this subject is rarely touched. If there are people who feel like "Blacks are causing everyone else problems", then people will speak. However, if it is Black people hurting Black people, no one cares, because it's viewed as "it's not our problem because we aren't affected". And in a way, it is the case. If a Black person in a dangerous part of Chicago gets murdered by another Black person, it affects the persons involved, and the families. No one in Tingley Park or Evanston really feels it, especially if said persons have no relation with the person who got murdered. Many people might start talking if they themselves don't feel safe going into the city.

We should not play God.
People have cognitive reasoning, tigers not so much, they rely on instinct. You can control yourself if you stop and think. Amazing, ain't it!

This doesn't make sense to me. What is the reason? God would not create a group of people who would tend to be murderers. There is something seriously out of whack with our culture that we have this many people with nothing to lose and no feelings for others.

Of course it's their fault, they commit the crimes but we have to look at this problem from a completely different angle.

It is culture, mostly black on black killings. mostly gang stuff, territorial drug dealing crap. Kinda like the mobs back in the 30's and 40's. Black under class behavior that middle class blacks would not be familiar with, I don't understand it myself.
