This isn’t really news but I thought I’d share it anyway. We’ve all seen the numbers. Six out of ten felony-murders are committed by blacks. Blacks are six times more likely to be murderered than whites. Ninety-four percent of black victims were killed by blacks.
94 percent!
When was the last time you heard Jesse Jackson get upset about this? Have you ever heard him get upset about this? No, he’s more interested in helping rich white women play golf at a private, all-male golf club.
This is an interesting story I found on BlackPressUSA (an OK site but I’m often tempted to offer them my proofreading services) that’s somewhat informative.
According to figures recently made public by the FBI, the District of Columbia led the nation last year with 264 homicides, an increase of 14 percent since 2001. With 45.8 homicides per 100,000 residents, Washington leads Detroit, which had 42 per 100,000 residents and Baltimore with 38.3.
No new information here.
A so-called man of God offered the same old trite explanation:
“The number one thing that happened to us is racism,” declared Rev. Willie Wilson, pastor of the Union Temple Baptist Church and the keynote speaker at the D.C. church service. “Almost 40 percent of our people are living under the poverty line. Racism is alive and well.”
In other words, poverty makes black people kill each other. I see. As I said before, no new information here.
