But we just don't discuss it.
Is it? Do you know any white people who have been murdered? I don't. But I knew a few black people who have been murdered.

You mean escalate the fuss that is already being made. That could work but exactly who would be listening and what would it change? Do you think am escalated esp point would change the minds of those that need changing? Do hard core killer types respond to that sort of thing?

Who is going around blaming a bunch of random white people for shoe on black deaths?

not really about "black lives"

the blacks in those neighborhoods that keep murdering people probably wouldn't/don't discriminate

its just that if you live amongst blacks and you like to solve issues by killing someone, chances are the person killed will be black

probably should figure out how to instill the concept of life being precious into everyones mind then perhaps people wont think of other people as being disposable items

Maybe Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of them are worried bout those that kill blacks who face no prosecution.
Not really. Detroit and New Orleans both have a solve rate of about 20% for murders.
Killers don't have to get away with murder

Why do you need to know people? The FBI keeps the numbers on a handy online site. The reason people get on black folks is these numbers. There is a focus on proportion, as if people would be ok with black murder if only the trayis were closer to white murder. Personally, I'd like to strive to reach the numbers of Asians but white people, who point fingers at black people, seem content with being high but not the highest.

That isn't the topic. Go start another thread if you want, stop trying to hijack this one.

The murder rate among white Americans is quite low. I'm not sure what makes you think that it's high.

Why do people insist on trying to change the thread to a completely different question?

If you really want to talk about White on White behavior, then by all means go start a thread of your own and talk about it.

My own theory is that crimes are manifested in "your own" neighborhood first. It's your immediate neighbors where conflicts and arguments start. Who's in what gang, who shot or stabbed who last Saturday night etc..

Ever watch Boyz In The Hood? That explains it very very well in great detail.

I didn't say rate. I said numbers period. If you're ok with thousands of people being killed each year then that's you. I'm not.
