Respectfully, white people/criminals do not kill each other at even remotely the same pace that Black people do. That's just a simple, statistical fact. Let's just put some numbers to it:
- As of 2020, whites made up around 60% of the US population. Blacks made up 13%.
- In 2020, there were almost 18,000 murder victims in the US. Roughly 7,000 of those victims were white, roughly 10,000 were Black.
- So Whites make up 60% of the population and 40% of murder victims. Blacks make up 13% of the population and 56% of murder victims.
- Around 90% of Black murder victims are killed by other Blacks. Around 80% of white murder victims are killed by other whites.
- And these are the numbers for 2020. 2021 was even worse, especially for Black victims, though that data hasn't been compiled as fully (see linked article below).
The fact is, white people don't kill each other at even remotely close to the rate Black people do in terms of share of population. There are almost 5 times as many white people in America as Black people, and yet Black people make up over half of the murder victims (almost all killed by other Blacks). Watch the news once in a while. Nearly every story involving a shooting involves Black people shooting at other Black people. Sadly, it's almost assumed at this point- they don't even have to say the race of the victims or shooters. That's awful.
Look, you can continue to stick your fingers in your ears & scream about the extremely narrow band of "hate crimes caused by race" and claim that whites are more likely to target Blacks than the other way around. And that may well be true, at least for mass shooting events. But who knows about crimes in general. If I, as a white man, decided to walk around in a predominantly Black area of Atlanta one night- especially a poorer area known for drug & gang activity- how long do you think I would last? You could say in that scenario my race would make me a target since I would be a different color than most of the people that lived there. Would you not agree with that? Blacks target whites & other groups for crimes as much or more than other races target Blacks. Look at the spate of Black-on-Asian violence in supposedly progressive, tolerant places like New York & California in recent years. I know the media doesn't like to cover it because it paints Blacks in a poor light, but those attacks are every bit as racially motivated as any white-on-Black crimes you like to focus on.
For you to continually and willfully ignore the scourge of Black-on-Black killings is just so disingenuous to me, and screams of a victimhood/"blame others at all costs" mentality. And as I've said many times in this thread, that type of thinking hurts the Black community more than anything else.
