@james00 spouting from the daemon bible, about Black on Black crime. Deflecting nob. What are factors in people resulting to commiting crime? 

What about Manchu on Manchu crime in Xinbin,  China? 

Trapped economically and systematically oppressed by design... But but what about Black on Black crime...fool. 

 

The Daemon bible when the site is from man like  Allen_West,_Official_Portrait,_112th_Con

Can you explain the point you are making here? With respect, its relevance is lost on me.

the point is if black lives matter then why isnt the focus proportionally on the 4,472 as oppose to the 112. You are over 40 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop. 40 times lol.

lol black people are only 13% of the population.

Black on black crime is astronomical man open your eyes.

 

Just talking about these figures in isolation and not adding context will always make for shocking reading. But logic would dictate that if you live in communities that are predominantly black and are murdered within a 30 mile radius of your home, its likely, statistically, that the perpetrator would be black. Why don't you post the black on black crime statistics for areas that don't have a high population of black people? Or white on white crime figures for those same areas? Plucking these figures and spraying them to suit a pre-determined narrative is part and parcel of the problem that blacks in america face. Denial. You deny that there is a problem because another exists that can be considered to be bigger? 

When in reality, everything being protested and screamed fits back into that same puzzle. Why is there such crime rife within black communities, whats the unemployment rate, the drug use rate, the amount of investment in the areas, teenage delinquency. If you create ghettos you create the chaos that populates those stat's you're so quick to use. Alluding that the disproportionate killing of a race by an institution of law, takes second place to crime within a community is ridiculous. Civilians are civilians, they swore no oath, they are obliged to uphold no constitution. But members of the police force are. In hospitals, doctors and nurses charged with caring for the public are on occasions innumerable threatened and put in dangerous situations, would you condone them giving patients lethal doses because of this? 

You can't on the one hand claim to represent justice, but when it suits you commit murder, and then use the institutional racism to justify it. The media marketed narrative that a community experiencing such violence within, can only blame itself when treated violently by the institution charged with preventing and protecting them from the very same violence is absurd. I for one don't subscribe to it. 

African Americans see themselves at war with the police, theres no differentiation made for personal agenda or circumstance when you are at war. If you represent, sympathise with or support the enemy, you are the enemy. These retaliations are considerably tame when you look at the long history of injustice and indignation the black community have suffered at the hands of the american establishment. The police being one of its most utilised and brutal facets.

This is one of the saddest things I've read.

 

Its almost as if you're victim blaming. Almost. A larger proportion of black people kill black people than police kill black people. So black people should stop whining about injustices done to them by the people who are meant to serve and protect them?

 

Do the figures lessen the crimes and guilt of the officers involved?

 

Are police more so warranted to carry out these lynchings until the ratio is closer to what you deem a reasonable mix? What proportion would you like to see before black people are allowed to address this?

 

Similarly to what CTG said, its like someone standing up at a malaria awareness rally and saying "Boooo, cancer kills way more". Black people make up 14% of the American population. 590 police killings, the majority has disproportionately been people of colour.

 

As mentioned earlier in the thread, poverty and crime tend to go hand in hand. This may have something to do with your figures. America has a long history of keeping the black mass poor. Wether it be outright or covert. As an example, research black Wall Street. Then address the poverty trap and how a poor black families on aggregate can escape this cycle on aggregate, not just a token example. The problem with your post is that you almost insinuate black people kill black people, because black people have an inherent inclination to kill each other. That's pretty racist. You ignore and fail to address the systemic racism and attempts to keep them poor but just look at the face value that they kill each other allot.

Brilliant post.

Do you think the more police get killed eventually they'll be like 


"Gee wilikers you know what we have been hard on black people let's reevaluate our whole police force"

It will cause more police on the ground to think about how their actions could escalate for sure.

If they know they are putting their own officers lives in danger and that blood will be on their hands I guarantee you there will be less killing of black men.
