Murders do not occur with enough frequency to represent a danger to a nation, compared with all the other things that can happen, like unemployment, health crises, economic recession, moral bankruptcy, police and judicial abuse, loss of civil rights, family breakdown, educational collapse, etcetcetc. Even shifts in general crime have little effect on the overall safety and security of the republic, and in fact crime is probably steadily increasing, if you count consumer fraud and other forms of white collar crime which are never enumerated in the published crime statistics and the perpetrators rarely brought to justice, as well as events that are moral crimes with clear victims, even though not codified as criminal.
An overwhelming majority of murderers are known to their victims, so murder is perfectly irrelevant to anyone who does not hang out with murderers. There are those who believe abortion is murder, which would make the statistics above laughably small, and definitions keep changing, with more and more doctors pulling plugs.
Since the motive for murder can be random, one doesn't have to hang with known murderers to be a victim. How do you identify a murderer? I could hang with a preacher, and he'll snap and murder someone. Murder is a relevant crime statistic to anyone who hangs with other humans. Murder rate or attempted murder rate is a great barometer of the level of danger in an area. Esp. in cases of stray bullets, mistaken identity, ect. Innocent folks get hit with unintended bullets daily. the Murder rate in any given area can determine your potential fate, or your odds of becoming a victim in lesser crimes(robbery, rape, theft).
How could you possibly say that online without knowing you're going to be ripped to shreds? Racism is old, pointless, and senseless crap.
Either that or (looking on the positive side) you were emphasizing how blacks are targets of racism and you aren't being racist at all. You really should clarify for your own good.
I'm sure he meant back in the Jim Crow, and pre-Jim Crow days, blacks were more likely 2 be lynched. then in post-Jim Crow era, blacks were most likely 2 be murdered by other Blacks.

Thank You. I wasn't going to even bother to defend my statement because they clearly knew what I was referring to.
