(239 posts)So interesting how so many white folks who want to talk about black on black crime just conveniently aren't aware, or forget, that 90% of ALL crime takes place between the same races. 90% of whites are killed by whites - 90% of Asians are killed by Asians - 90% of Latinos are killed by Latinos. So what? That just shows that our regular interactions are still largely segregated, nothing more. It doesn't show that Black men are savages, or born killers - bc if it does, then it shows the same of men of every fucking other race.
If that is what you are focusing on, you are missing the point. Black men are killed by white men at 10x the rate of other inter-racial killings. Meaning - black men aren't killing a lot of white, asian, latino men. But white men? Killing a ton of black men - especially young black men. Estimating 12 year olds to be 20 year olds - what? Something is fucking wrong, and if you can't see that, it's bc your willing cloak of ignorance comforts you and you just don't want to.
