Well first off let's look at the vast majority of crime that is committed in the U.S., 2 to 1, whites over blacks on aggravated assault, forcible rape, 2 to 1 whites over blacks on rape arrests, larceny arrests, whites are still 2 to 1. So... Why aren't black people following whites around at night thinking that it would be just a matter of time before they raped, stole, or assaulted someone? The likes of newspaperman George will and other nutcase types trying to make the Zimmerman case seem valid using stupid remarks about black crime only afford us a view of general bias in the op ed conservative voice. The majority of all crime is committed by white people....What does this say except that some white people are pretty violent prone themselves. But are ALL of the whites adding to this statistical tidbit? Can we make some kind of case out of this stat, probably not.....The fact of high black crime rates only serve to remind us of the reasons for crime in the first place.
The truth of crime is that it occurs for many reasons, not the least being economical, i.e., you don't see many bankers robbing at gunpoint in dark alleys, although they do rob in broad daylight behind their desks. Black crime has been studied to death, we now know that people who lack in economic opportunity, lack in education, lack in social mobility all add up to a person who just maybe will commit a crime or two. This is simple sociology 100 stuff, to make black crime seem like an innate trait in all black people is reaching a bit far and doesn't even go to the heart of the matter. The seemingly unexplainable aspects of black on black crime is actually pretty basic beginners study stuff on the university level, serious examination relies on a far greater body of knowledge, and unfortunately most American's are lacking in this type of education.
Criminology isn't about stats, it's roots are in the social aggregate, of course to read something deeper than a newspaper one must first decide if the effort is warranted, given that many people think they already know most of what one would learn in college through long years of study. How is it that so many of our complex social situations seem so elementary to those who rarely think at all , or those who have a limited education but an unlimited amount of opinion? Hatred is the result of ignorance, and we have an abundance of that in our nation....
How many of the murderers in your statistics got off free? For how many was their murder weapon returned to them so that they can play policeman make-believe and kill more people?
The difference is the legal system deemed them murderers, Zimmerman it did not.
Why does no one keep statistics on how many white-on-white murders there are? They happen all the time.
They do. The FBI crime statistics track that and other information.
If you don't track stats, its actually a whole lot easier to cover up inherent biases (racial, socio-economic etc.) like whom is more likely to get the death penalty etc etc etc.
if zimmerman was black we would not have anything to type about on CDF would we.
if we admitted he was brown we would have a little to talk about but not much
but if lie and we say he is archie bunker, we can type til midnight.
Black people are just mad that a half white man was not convicted of killing a 17 year old. They don't care about Trayvon they just care that a half white person was not convicted. I'm sick of black folks whining when they kill each other at a far higher rate than whites killing blacks.
OP, don't be silly. Blacks believe it's perfectly awesome when one Black kills another Black. However, it's totally unacceptable when any other race (especially Whites) want in on that action.
