According to Tuskegee Institute data, 3,445 black Americans were lynched in this country between 1882 and 1968. As horrific as that Jim Crow “justice” was, it pales compared with the black-on-black carnage now taking place.
Finally, someone other than a “sell out” black conservative is pointing fingers at the right people instead of blaming “white racism” on the fact that blacks kill other blacks at an alarming rate.
Dewayne Wickham is a black liberal columnist who’ll no doubt receive a Titanic-size load of hate mail about his latest column. He writes:
A distinguished group of black Americans will assemble in Washington next month to put finishing touches on a blueprint for uplifting their race. Called “The Covenant with Black America,” this plan is the product of a brain trust of black leaders — people committed to fixing what’s broken in black America.
The 254-page document, a copy of which I obtained in advance of its scheduled late February release, is an action plan to make black people healthier, improve the education of black children, reduce the high black incarceration rate and help black Americans acquire wealth and become economically self-sufficient.
As important as all of this is, it doesn’t go far enough. (Source)
We’re all familiar with the Bureau of Justice Statistics numbers. The rates for blacks as victims and perpetrators are disproportionately high relative to our percentage of the populations.
Look at the chart of the right. Most of those black victims were victimized by black criminals, not white. Want to get really controversial? Guess what percentage of white victims was also victimized by blacks. For the answer, keep scrolling.
Although numbers can be manipulated, they don’t lie. If some want to argue that whites commit more crimes overall, go ahead. The fact remains that the black crime rate is disproportionately and scandalously high. Instead of being outraged by this, certain black liberals are outraged by the messenger’s nerve (guts?) to utter the message.
I searched for “Covenant with Black America” and found this. From the about section:
As we witnessed in the 2004 presidential election, Americans are deeply divided between race, class, gender, political ideology and moral values. A divide so extreme, that in order to bridge it, we must speak openly, freely, without judgment and work together.
(The site links to Tavis Smiley, who led last year’s unintentionally funny State of the Black Union.)
All well and good, but I hope people are ready to be honest even if it hurts. I’ll try to use my Pajamas Media credentials to get an advanced copy of that 254-page report and read what they propose. I’m most interested in what they have to say about the 70 percent (and climbing) out-of-wedlock birth rate.
