Really? FBI statics say you're wrong. I know it's an inconvenient fact, but it is still a fact.
FBI 2011 statistics say that there were 8,341 murder arrest. White: 4,000 Black: 4,149 Other: 192.
You're post is an epic fail... I know that being a white male Republican that you do not want to admit it, but it's not only minorities that commit crimes.
And even further, there is another issue to consider. If Don Lemon had not said this things on FOX News, I would not be that upset. I don't listen to FOX or MSNBC. I don't want politics with my news. I feel like Don Lemon's role is similar to that of a guard dog. Basically, using a Black man to do the dirty work. I don't truly believe that Don Lemon cares either. I just think he's being used to say things that some people are afraid to say out loud.
We all know that there are Blacks who will speak out against certain dysfunctions. However, those persons are speaking on behalf of the concerns of Black people, and of trying to make things better for Blacks. They aren't being used for some kind of agenda. This is something some people aren't getting. And I think some people don't care because some people want to hear another Black man say "Blacks are scum".
It is easy for those whites that have no contact with blacks at all to say "I told you so" whenever they have a discussion regarding black people
Keep dreaming. Do you watch the news, did you see how today the black male who killed a baby got life, or is that just a figment of your imagination too.
And what does this have to do with black males committing the vast majority of murders in this country? Do you even know what the Vietnam war was all about? Do you understand war?
Apparently you either, do not fully understand how statistics are created or you are cherry picking what you want. The statistic that you are reading from clearly state that those are those CONVICTED and are in FEDERAL PRISON. Each one of those results are the end result of other things as well and therefore cannot be the best representation of why the black federal incarseration is so high
Most of the murders are committed by low income blacks who are killing other low income blacks, so I do not understand why white people would dislike this fact. In 2011, 4,000 whites were arrested for murder 4,000, and 4,149 blacks were arrested for murder. Also in 2011, 5,825 whites were victims of murder and 6,329 blacks were victims. White's committed 6,578,133 crimes in 2011 and blacks committed 2,697,539.
The problem isn't a "black" issue, because most blacks who aren't living in low income areas aren't committing most of these crimes. It's a culture issue with the people who live in these neighborhoods. If a white guy was raised in the same environment, then his mentality would most likely be the same... If a Hispanic kid is raised around gangs in California, chances are he'll be a gang bangger... Being a certain race does not automatically equate to being a criminal. It's an environmental issue.
You better stop making sense or you are going to make some fool's head explode
Half of the murders are by blacks and the other half are by whites... Other races commit murder at a much lower rate than both blacks and whites.

Hmmm. That would make it 48% white, 50% black, and 2% other. Not half and half.
Regardless of how you want to spin it, a segment comprising less than 10% of the population yet committing half the murders indicates something is wrong with these people.
what does it take before people are willing to address the violence in their communities and change it
every life is precious but too many do not see it that way
