How Western media would cover Baltimore if it happened elsewhere

White people have a 5x higher chance of being murdered by Blacks than vice versa, how Black people commit violent crime at rate 25x that of White people, how Blacks are literally 200 fucking times as likely to commit aggravated assault than White people sources, let alone how the rate of of White on Black rape is virtually non-existent whereas tens of thousands of White girls are raped by Blacks a year.

A few things:

  1. I'm sure the sources that you're getting your numbers from are from convictions, so saying "Black people commit violent crime at rate 25x that of White people" is probably incorrect; "Black people are convicted of violent crime at rate 25x that of White people" would be more accurate.

Actually when victims of violent crimes report the races of their attackers they mirror these numbers and that's before any convictions. When you consider that many black don't report other black people, 'snitches get stitches' the actual numbers may actually be worse.

  1. By (mis)quoting those statistics, you seem to be implying that Black people are inherently more violent than White people, while ignoring all the history that may have greatly influenced the prevalence of violence among blacks. Generations of discrimination mean that blacks are more often born into poverty, with parents or grandparents that were forced into poverty by unfair laws. Sure, it can be argued that the laws on the books today might not be racist, but, because of the lack of social mobility in this country

Completely untrue. Social mobility occurs between generations, not within generations. You can see this in the asian and latino communities, where each successive generation accumulates more wealth than the previous. In fact, the black population is the only group that doesn't appear to be increasing its overall wealth over time. Blame it on whatever you want, but all other ethnic groups are succeeding and succeeding more year by year.

I'm not trying to excuse violence by any means, I'm just trying to show that there are plenty of ways to explain the statistics you quoted other than "black people are inherently more violent."

The black family as a whole is in ruins. It's that simple but no one wants to admit it. There are millions of black women struggling like hell to keep their families together. They could use some help.
