YES! the assassination of cops by BLM incited hatred stoked by democrat lawmakers, big corporations and the media!
Which has caused more violence combined with letting out predators as soon as they're caught and countries to our south emptying their jails and sending them across our nonexistent border and you have a giant jump in crime, especially in Democrat areas that are encouraging mass violence.
It is the same in Chicago. Less than 30% of the population is responsible for 90% of the violent crime. Although I think it is more generational culture, as opposed to just gangster rap music (which is too simplistic).
Because here, Latinos are roughly the same size population (slightly larger actually) and live in similar sociodemographic neighborhoods, yet commit far less violent crime. So it’s not just an income/poverty issue. Culture plays a big role.
Interesting. I would have expected the figure to be far less than 30%.
I do wonder if someone might try, in a subtle way, to pass the message of "America is better off without Blacks". Given the stuff I've seen on city-data.com, it's something I am highly suspicious of.
Those types of messages have been around for a long time in this country and not just directed at blacks.
Today those with such views are just fringe nutters, mainstream USA is a much better place than that.
Heck, one could easily argue that the most vilified group in the US right now is a straight white male.
And these numbers don’t even point that it is 12% of the population that is accounting for over 50% of violent crime (55.9% of homicides), which is staggering.
So the remaining 88% of the population combined still has lower violent crime than blacks…
Skin color is just an identifier.
85% of the males in prison grew up without a father. 90% of the homeless grew up in a single parent environment.
It's about guidance.
Look at what segment of the Black population this takes place in. It's mostly the underclass portion of the Black population. The Black American population has a larger underclass than other groups. And one prevailing factor in many murders is anger. People committing murder because it doesn't take much to stir up anger in some individuals. And the attitude of "you disrespect me, you die". That kind of subculture of violence goes back to the Antebellum South. Go read Albion's Seed, Black Rednecks And White Liberals, Culture Of Honor: Psychology Of Violence In The South.
The one prevailing factor is single parenthood. The lack of guidance. 85% of the males in prison grew up without a father. Ignore that fact all you want.
The problem isn't bringing up the statistics. I even have a thread about Black murder rates. It got closed, sadly. The issue is the context and reason for bringing it up. No one brings up an issue for nothing. Statistics are statistics. However, it's WHY you bring them up that males the difference.
Because it was a meaningless thread that lacked substance and context. It completely ignored the fact that 85% of the males in prison grew up without a father.
And it has nothing to do with the topic. Not one thing. That's just more deflection. The actual topic is what matters and not something you try to make it about in order to deflect from the truth.

That’s correct, the remaining 88% of America (including illegal and legal immigrants from developing countries) are less violent than native born African Americans.
This is what happens when there is no accountability in the Democratic Party. No sense of urgency or effort to stop murder via stop and frisk. We have war zone America, that is more dangerous than Syria, and we have regular America that is normal.
Are most black people violent? No. It’s around 33% of the black community pretty much committing half the crime in America.

people with felony convictions account for 8 % of all adults and 33 % of the African American adult male population
There’s also the MS13 and drug gang shootings — mostly Hispanic.
I would not want to come across MS13, the Latin Kings, or LaEme. I don't want to come across gangs of any ethnicity, period
