You read it as demonizing blacks (in general), I took it as in indictment of what I'll call the "grievance industry." There are a lot of people of good will helping people in need. Al $harpton ain't one of them. And neither is Nancy "taco bell" Grace. A couple of other thoughts.... 1> Did you really think a blog called "Soopermexican" was being quoted seriously? 2> According the the DOJ (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf - page 5, bottom left graph) about 90% of the homicide victims in the US last year were black. There also according to the DOJ there were 11,101 homicides last year (same PDF, bottom of page 2). So the 11K number in 1.5 years is probably pretty darn close. I think the DOJ is probably unalterably corrupt at this point, but their stats are probably pretty accurate. -XC
That graph is of the rate homicides per 100,000, I don't think it's saying what you think it is. If you honestly think that 90% of the homicides in the U.S. are black victims you have some insane preconceptions. Look at the FBI UCR reports if you really want to see data on homicide in the U.S., but I suspect that isn't what you are really interested in. And no his numbers aren't "pretty close" They are inflated by about 200% as far as homicides of blacks where the race of the killer is known to be black. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/c...
