Yes it's a statistical fact, actually closer to 13/60 in 2023.

Did you know black women commit murder at a higher rate than white men? Black on white violence is 10x that of white on black violence when adjusted for population. Blacks are violent disproportionately which is why there are no predominantly black areas that aren't violent crime ridden shitholes. Plenty of poor white areas in west Virginia with low murder rates so stop with the poverty excuse. Poverty makes you steal not murder.

Many poor folks need to invest in at least some 8th grade homework. And here’s a great place to start - the Bureau of Justice Statistics:

“As for interracial violence, Black males disproportionately commit it. Between 2012-2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, between Blacks and Whites.

Black males, who make up 7% of the US population, committed 85% of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on Whites. While White males, 35% of the population, committed 14%, or 91,470 felonious assaults on Blacks.

“A police officer is 18 times more likely to be killed by a Black male, than an unarmed Black male is to be killed by a police officer.”

You won’t hear any of this on CNN, or pretty much any news media. They hate the truth because it destroys their vapid argument that “racism” is at the core of Black consternation.

Any suspect who argues and wrestles with police; says he has a knife; leans into a car reaching down to the floor (where there was indeed a knife) - stands a really good chance of being shot - no matter WHAT color he is. And for the record, police shoot far more White folks than Black folks - every month of every year.

The reality is very, very easy to find.

You just have to have a functional moral compass - and the intestinal fortitude - to look the truth in the eye.

In the FBI’s 2019 statistics, blacks made up 55.9% of known murder offenders. The 86.6% of the population that is nonblack accounted for only 44.1% of known murder offenders. Remarkably, in 2019, the ratio of the black to nonblack per capita murder offender rate (8.2X) was even higher than the male to female rate.

The 2020 statistics are expected to be released in September 2021. Murders were up dramatically in 2020, especially after the “racial reckoning” began with George Floyd’s death, with much evidence suggesting that black-on-black shootings led the murder surge. So 2020 might see a new r

I did see a few other sites doing something similar, but TruthFinder was the easiest and gave the most accurate information. I was able to search for nearly anyone in the United States by name, phone number, address, email address. Now I use it with friends, family, dates, neighbors, etc.

What did it show?

For starters, yes, the numbers are largely true.

With a couple major caveats.

First, 13% of the population is indicative of ALL Blacks.

That number is misleading because most of that 50 and change number can be traced to young Black males within an age range of 13–24, if I recall. Telling you it’s more like 3–7/50.

So, why this happens might be cultural or class, neither can be proven as white poverty comparatives are nearly impossible to find on such a scale.

Next, the rate implied is actually an arrest, not conviction rate.

However, the number is still relevant in that in most cases the suspect— as revealed to police by victims— is noted as “Black”. What makes this more relevant is Black on Black crime is astronomically prevalent in this study. Meaning those reporting those crimes, which would be required to lead to an arrest, reported a Black perpetrator from the mouth of a Black individual.

Thus, the lower odds here belong to a Black victim blaming a Black suspect in error the way some might hope he or she would to mitigate the amount of Black on Black crime found in society.

Rather, only a marginal portion of crime victims report their perpetrator as the wrong race, ala Susan Smith.

Saying as long as a crime has been committed & reported, if the perpetrator was reported as Black, chances are the crime was committed by a Black perpetrator.

Hence when some argue it’s the criminal justice system us out to get Black males, the correct statement is CRIME VICTIMS must be out to get Black men as they’re the ones reporting the crime.

Given most victims of violent Black crime are Black themselves, you might see where the racism narrative falls flat.

Ultimately, it’s not difficult to see a large amount of crime, in particular perpetrated by and on Black people is committed by young Black males. The incidents of Black on white crime are still higher than white on white crime, but not much.

In essence, people citing this stat to promote white supremacy are actually missing the fact that Black on Black violence or crime makes up much of this number. And if the goal is proving Black people are violent, all that’s proven is violence against Black people is largely done by their own community members.

It’s actually indicative of all ethnic groups as most violent crime is done by others we know.

“What is the deal with the 13/50 homicide rate? Is it true or not true or just racist stats?”

I will assume you mean that African-Americans are 13% of the population, but commit, and are victims of, 50% of the homicides.

If so, that is roughly true. As true as any proposition in the social sciences can ever be.

Because we allow people to “self-identify”, you could argue that there are either more or fewer African-Americans than 13%. Your definition isn’t the same as their self-identifications. Most surveys and censuses are pretty close to 13%, say in the range of 12%-15%.

Murder statistics are collected by the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. The FBI collects submissions from State and local police agencies, in a standard format. When you get right down to it, the race of criminals and victims is whichever box was checked by the officer who wrote the original incident report. I suppose you could argue that millions of officers falsely checked boxes so as to make African-Americans look bad, but it strains credulity. Those reports are written to help catch criminals - inaccurate reports are self-defeating.

Based on the UCR, around 50% of murder victims are African-American. The exact figure varies from year to year, but 50% is a fair rough average. The race of murderers is harder to know, because 1/3 are never caught. But the ones who are caught are around 50% African-American, again with variations.

For example:

Table 43
Arrests by Race and Ethnicity, 2019 [10,831 agencies; 2019 estimated population 229,735,355]

shows arrests for murder in 2019. Out of 7964 total arrested, 4078 were African-American.

Crime statistics is a big subject. You shouldn’t pick one number, out of the huge mass of numbers, and claim that it proves anything. Especially if you searched for the “best” number - i.e. the one that best supports what you already want to believe.

LOL, may still be really good) tells us that cops kill black folks at 2.6 times the rate they kill white folks, that is wrong, even though accurate. Cops kill criminals at a far greater rate than they kill folks and the rate of black violent crime is 3 times that of white violent crime. Bottom line, the Chauvins of the world are rare enough to not even show up statistically. But to show that I had to use the race of those in that third “race,” the criminal race.

The other valid use would be to figure out how to fix things. Noticing a difference based on race one can identify that a problem exists and how to fix it. Me? I want to blame big city schools for the higher crime rates there (I vote Dem but they still spin me up more than Reps and Dems are the ones against fixing our schools). Jobs, jobs, jobs. {{{Other less PC causes … perhaps low expectations due to Dem rhetoric??? Why would you study if everybody is telling you that it won’t do any good, that white people will thwart you at every turn no matter how accomplished you are? }}}

At any rate, the stat is fine but you have to be careful. Use it to help people, not to disparage them.

If you tell that man should someone else come to power then they will starve to death because they no longer will have a supply of fish you have a voter for life.

If you make sure education in the inner city and areas black people live in absolutely sucks, then you can ensure they do not become educated enough to realize what it is you have done to them.

If you write up a law that targets the black community for incarceration like the 1994 crime Bill where black people get longer prison sentences than white people for the same drug, you can break up families and leave people even more Reliant and dependent on government.

It isn't a coincidence that all the cities with multi-generational black poverty have been run by the same people for decades, It Is by Design.

People today talk about institutional racism, all we have to do is look who has being in charge of the cities and education systems where the majority of black people living and multi-generational poverty live. It's pretty obvious who is responsible for the institutional / systemic racism. The Democrats who are running the goddamn institutions and system.

Letter: Democrats are the racists by replacing dad with welfare checks

Posted Apr 4, 2020 at 12:02 AM

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. [FILE PHOTO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]▲

Every election cycle the Democrats play the race card, saying those terrible Republicans are racists. Of course, this lie is spread by the left bias mainstream media, which is 92% negative against President Donald Trump.

Since when is it racist to want to get minorities jobs, a good education and a good family structure. Why is it that black lives matter to Democrats only when a white kills a black, but when blacks kill blacks, Democrats are silent because it doesn't meet their race baiting agenda.

Another weapon of the Democrats is welfare. New York Times reporter Nicholas Lemann says public housing projects treat the symptoms of poverty, not the problem, and it is not the taxpayers' concern to raise other people's children born out of irresponsibility. The fact is all the government help can never be an adequate substitute for responsible parents.

Democrats know full well that if people have good educations, jobs and a good family structures, they wouldn't need the Democrat Party. This is why the Democrats continue dividing the country by keeping people dependent on the government, so they will continue to vote Democrat. Democrats are the racists by replacing dad with welfare checks.

But of course people don't like to believe that. To quote Joe Biden's hero:

thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

However, these data do not speak to the entire Black population. Most Black people are not murderers. These data can be misused to tarnish an entire population. That is a legitimate concern.

These data facts become especially relevant when there are riots in the streets about police misconduct and BLM calls for defunding the police. Not only are the criminals a subset of the population, but they are often found in specific areas.

Efforts to address this criminal subculture through law enforcement are very difficult for all kinds of reasons. The criminals are part of a community—often children and elements of their subculture have been infused into society and glamorized in song and dance. All this while people are killed at rates that rival some of the roughest spots on this earth.

This is a world-class social problem that some want to deny, and this is no different from denying global warming, the spread of HIV, or the realities of COVID. Follow the science they say. Of course, this is not gang-members killing themselves. So far, in 2020, some 220 children have been accidentally killed. A seven-year-old child out for Christmas shopping was recently shot in the head here in Atlanta. She was in a moving car at the time. That gives you a sense of how many bullets are flying around. Denial and inaction have real consequences.

Some argue that these data are just arrests, and sometimes that claim is that these crimes are committed by other ethnicities. Such claims are easily dismissed. Some crimes are easier to count than others, and murder is the easiest. Dead bodies are found, and an investigation follows. Those at the scene, the victims, and the families are often not being straight with the police. Sometimes the police arrest the wrong person, but the right person is a friend or a neighbor. These data reflect real events in real places that can be found on a map.

As far as racism goes…the debate goes on. The killings are real, and this is not a race war. This is about black communities tearing themselves apart. We can assume that social factors are involved, including racism. Young men involved in crime does happen everywhere, except this one is a gun and violence culture.

Clearly, nobody has found a quick solution, but denial is a part of the problem. Communities that help shelter killers are also an issue. Muddled police actions and corruption are also a part of this ugly mess.

It is something like 2% of counties are responsible for 50% of homicides using firearms, and usually in inner city areas. This is *largely* correlated with a criminal minority who are involved in drugs, prostitution and gang culture. This is more significant among minority populations, and is certainly part of their ‘pop culture’ image of what is cool.

Or people hear it as, ‘You’re saying, black people are bad, or that black people are criminals’.

No, I did not say that.

What does that have to do with the original statement? The statement is not racist, it is a statistic. Plenty of other statistics are thrown out there everyday. No number is completely unbiased.

Why does this one make you uncomfortable?

Any feelings of bother are due to societal pressure to virtue signal about equality. Perhaps you could follow up with an argument the way the data collected is discriminatory. If you want to interpret the statistic, so be it. But that’s different thread than the previous statement.

But why argue against a statistic? The number is not going to change just because it offends.

We judge other people based on a whole myriad of factors they cannot change. Race is just another factor among those.

No. It is actually quite easy to tell what race commits each crime of violence. Because the victim will tell us. Based on the report of the crime, black males commit 40% of crimes of violence despite being less than 7% of the population. Since 80 to 90% of the victims are also black, it would be ludicrous to consider this stat to be effected by racism.

What is more interesting is that while blacks are shot by cops more than whites per capita, if we track it per encounter, which is based on cops stopping people that meet the description of a suspect, blacks are less likely to be shot than whites

Though they are more likely to be stopped. Because they are more likely to match the description of the suspect. Which again is given by the victims. Most of whom are black.

In regards to the person committing the crime and how it is recorded. Let’s say the person’s name is Mike.

If the mother is black and the father is black the crime is reported as a black crime statistic

If the mother is white and the father is white the crime is reported as a white crime statistic

If you check the FBI website you will find crime statistics by race. Some crimes are disproportionately white, others disproportionately black. Murder, for example, is something like 51% black. Those are the raw facts It is not racist to cite facts. My (black) parishioners scold me if I work at the church alone with the doors unlocked. They know I'm at greater risk of violent robbery than in some church in the suburbs. Are they racist?

“Q: Is the 13/50 statistic real, or is it a result of racism in the justice system?”

A: The statistic is valid but misleading, thus not likely as meaningful or useful as one may think.

For those who don’t know, this “13/50” thing is a sort of short form or slang for a provocative claim about crime statistics by race in the United States, which goes something like this:

“Despite being just 13% of the population, black Americans commit up to 50% of the violent crimes.”

“Q: Is the 13/50 statistic real, or is it a result of racism in the justice system?”

For those who don’t know, this “13/50” thing is a sort of short form or slang for a provocative claim about crime statistics by race in the United States, which goes something like this:

“Despite being just 13% of the population, black Americans commit up to 50% of the violent crimes.”

While many claim that those propagating this idea are racists, I think it’s primarily a case of young men trying to be edgy and provocative on the Internet. While provocative and somewhat based on statistical fact, the claim is overly simplistic, as it leads one to assume that the violent crime rate among 20 year old black male gang members is the similar to the violent crime rate of 70 year old retired black women, which anyone with a shred of common sense would know is clearly not the case.

However, to answer the question, let’s actually examine the data for a moment. According to FBI Universal Crime Reporting Table 43 for 2018

, if you count only the murder and non-negligent manslaughter row, it’s about 53%, however if you include everything which constitutes a violent crime (the “violent crime” column), it’s actually more like 37%.

Regarding this data, there are several very important caveats which call the usefulness and relevance of this data into question:

  • It assumes that no one is ever wrongfully arrested, and only counts violent crimes where an arrest is made; likely there are vastly more violent incidents between friends, relatives, members of the same ethnic group, etc which go unreported or which never lead to an arrest
  • 392,562 violent crimes reported per year in a country of 330 million people means that all things considered equal, the odds that an individual citizen will be the victim of a violent crime in a given year is about a 1.19 in 1000
  • The vast majority of all violent crime is either drug or gang-related, so if you’re not involved in gangs or drugs your odds are vastly better
  • Males are the perpetrators and the victims in about 90% of all violent crimes
  • This data assumes the arrest was legitimate and the arrested person was in fact the perpetrator (surely most are, but mistakes and lies could still skew the data)
  • This particular dataset does not break it down by gender as FBI Universal Crime Reporting Table 66 for 2018 does
  • This data does not provide any insight into the motivating factors behind the crimes

While the intent of this provocative claim appears to primarily be to troll people online, it’s misleading and offensive. If the aim were to create a useful social commentary, a much more useful social commentary regarding demographics and rates of violence would be to point out the fact that young men worldwide account for roughly 80% of all violent crime (Interesting read: Sex differences in crime - Wikipedia). Thus, the most accurate demographic group responsible for the vast majority of violent crime is not a race, but a gender; males, particularly males aged 13 to 30, and particularly males aged 13 to 30 who were raised without a father figure.

Also interesting is the fact that if you factor in the difference in fatherlessness by demographic group in the US crime statistics, the disparity in the violent crime rate among different ethnic groups fades away entirely.

There are multiple causes, but the main one is the “tribal” mindset of the Black community.

Having lived in the projects, I’ve seen it in action. They had exactly the same opportunities as I did to get out of the projects. Instead of taking them, they take the easy way and go to gangs, selling drugs, and any easy way to make money. The girls even bragged about having babies to get more welfare. That isn’t something made up by the “privileged” white. It is a reality, where their kids may have a different father.

The woman who lived next to me had 5 children. Only two had the same father. She lived on welfare and had no intention of ever going to work and asked why I was working.

This is what you are dealing with. And it isn’t just one or two—it is generations who are using the system to remain in a ghetto so they can have a guaranteed income and supplement that with illegal dealings. It is big business. Drugs and prostitution is easy, profitable, and those who are controlling it will protect their areas.

What is sad is that they don’t see education as a way out of the ghettos since that means hard work, and less pay. You get more with the gangs than working a job. And this is the culture that has been in existence since they formed their own communities and yes, the whites didn’t help any.

There was a whole area in the Carolinas where there were free Blacks who were prosperous. They were elected to the state legislatures and had a say in the government and also served in Congress and the Senate in the 1870s. Then the Democrat whites came in and took over the towns and pushed there leaders into the background. And yes—it was the DEMOCRAT whites, those who formed the KKK and who still support it today. There was a reason a lot of the Blacks moved north where there was less discrimination, and they could get jobs.

Today, many of the Blacks culturally eschew education and work for the easy gangs and the money they get. Those who move out of the ghettos have discovered a whole different world where they can earn good money and have the dream of their own homes and acceptance in the communities.

Then there are those who tend to not integrate and end up isolating and building a community of Blacks, which ends up with the gangsters taking over in a repeating cycle.

So it is a mindset, a tribal culture that they embrace that is helping to keep them in that cycle of murdering their own to be top dog in the area.

He felt he had to shoot him, as in it was necessary, required, imperative. The reason? He had been disrespected, and the only way to reclaim that respect was murder.

That tracks with the cultural analysis I’ve seen, which ironically traces it’s way back to the culture of the antebellum South and is known as honor culture. Thomas Sowell goes into considerable detail on this subject (he traces it back to the English midlands…).

That tracks with the cultural analysis I’ve seen, which ironically traces it’s way back to the culture of the antebellum South and is known as honor culture. Thomas Sowell goes into considerable detail on this subject (he traces it back to the English midlands…).

So I thought about this a lot and had to rhetorically ask myself what I would do in this situation and why. I would not be shooting anyone, in fact I might not ever think about what some random dude called me or said to me ever again.

Why is that?

His opinion is at odds with what I know about myself and also that everyone else treats me with considerable respect.

Why do I get the respect?

I expect to be respected and I expect to offer respect as a default. Disrespect is an exceptional occurrence.

Yes, but why do people show you respect?

I am well-spoken, well-groomed, polite and importantly, show them respect, but thinking a little deeper, it’s because I am useful to others. The “interest” people have in me has a lot to do with my skill set. Over a lifetime, I have acquired a lot of diverse skills. I speak several languages and can speak authoritatively on a number of subjects. People seek me out for advice. I feel respected beyond simply the normal culture affections and because of who I have made myself into. I feel the same way about my friends, who are all impressive individuals with significant accomplishments, knowledge and wisdom. They are admirable and useful.

So who get’s disrespected?

People without skills (particularly men). Men who aren’t useful and thus “unsuccessful”.

This is where I made the connection. Black men caught up in this cycle of violence generally have no skills, nothing they can offer to others to be useful. Nothing in which they can feel pride of accomplishment. All men, specifically men, need to feel respected, by women, by other men. If they have nothing sophisticated to offer (e.g., carpentry skills), they default to violence. A man who can physically dominate another man still manages to get the respect that everyone requires. In a primitive environment, this creates an equilibrium, with the strongest and/or most violent at the top of the hierarchy. Everyone knows their place.

Now you introduce a gun into that situation. Size, strength, speed and violence become irrelevant. The lowest man on the totem can attempt to regain respect through the use of a firearm.

You remove the gun and you go back to the physical skill equilibrium, but that is still an inherently violent culture. What is necessary to transform the culture to a non-violent form?

A transition to a dynamic that respects more sophisticated skill sets over physical prowess. Are black American surgeons violent? I don’t have statistics, but I would bet that the incidence of violence is negligible.

Anyways, that’s my analysis.

So the simplest answer to your question is that African Americans being pulled over disproportionately to European Americans is not an indicator of culture-related driving habits simply because "culture-related driving habits" is not a thing. Nonsensical.

But to address the larger, more serious part of your question (why African Americans have a higher chance of being stopped by cops is an indication of racism), I must first disagree with your suggestion that the statistics are an indication of "racism" in the most widely accepted definition of the term. Instead, I believe this phenomenon should be more accurately attributed to implicit racial bias rather than pure racism.

Implicit racial bias, in the most simplest of terms, refers to our subconscious prejudices and preconceptions as related to our own race and that of others. Basically, it refers to thoughts about people that you didn't know you had. Empirical evidence shows that implicit or subconscious racial bias extends far beyond Black vs White. Studies have shown that implicit racial biases have been discovered to be just as prevalent in White vs Black scenarios as they are in Black vs Black and White vs White scenarios. This would partly explain why Black cops (myself included) are also more likely to stop an African American driver than a driver of another race. We, too, have been subconsciously groomed to view Black as bad. But, of course, the causes are much more far-reaching than that.

Here are a few reasons (and brief explanations) as to why Blacks are more likely to be stopped than Whites; none of which are indicative of any type of "culture-related driving habits". Sorry.

  • Implicit racial bias. Through mass media (tv shows, movies, music, news, etc.) Blacks have been historically portrayed as brutes, large muscular beings of little intelligence and lacking basic social decencies and decorum. More largely, throughout the first couple hundred years of Blacks' existence in America, Blacks were treated and viewed as being less than fully human: a Black vote counted as 3/5 that of a White vote; the American constitution reads that all men are created equal, yet Blacks were treated as animals and traded as property; in order for Blacks to attempt to trace their lineage, they must explore property records as opposed to birth and death records. As such, White America was conditioned to view Blacks as being big, dumb, and violent. And of course, this perception was passed along through generational upbringing in accordance with societal norms.
  • The War on Drugs. The war on drugs coincided with the crack epidemic of the 1980's. Through means beyond my knowledge or comprehension, crack was quickly deemed as a "black drug". This labeling is largely the reason crack cocaine, which is pharmacologically identical to powder cocaine, carries a higher "schedule" than its powdered version; thus also carrying larger criminal penalties. Any objective view of American drug war policies will easily reveal that the war on drugs could easily have been termed as the "War on Poor Blacks".

    Empirical data shows that White and Black drug usage is largely identical. Furthermore, Whites have been discovered to experiment with drugs at much younger ages and with more frequency than their Black counterparts. Even more damning, Whites have been found to be more likely to possess illicit narcotics and paraphernalia during traffic stops. Yet, Whites are stopped and searched at a fraction of the rates of Blacks. I believe this to be directly related to the love affair between law enforcement agencies and the financial windfalls associated with the drug war. Modern police department budgets are supplemented by the fruits of the war on drugs. More damning, the federal government provides billions in grants and military-style weapons and equipment to civilian police departments that maintain certain levels of drug stats. To that effect, the drug war became a cash cow for you local police departments. Therefore, law officers are pressured to produce "results" (read: arrests). Each check in the "drug offense" box on an arrest affidavit positions a police department one step closer to qualifying for more federal dollars and equipment. So ordinarily, when pressured to produce unrealistic results, patrol officers head for the low-hanging fruit of the inner-city street corners. Most drug arrests come from random, unwarranted (and unconstitutional) stop-and-frisk detainments. Remember, I am a cop in a major US city. I was once guilty of perpetuating these same gross practices of civil rights violations for the simple sake of meeting a "quota".
  • Residential segregation and White Flight. Through residential segregation, poor Blacks have been relegated to certain neighborhoods with poor investments in infrastructure and a lack of economically impactful projects. Evidence shows that housing lenders commonly used a tactic called "redlining" to identify these particular areas where they would not lend money for homes and construction; thus effectively ensuring the perpetually dire state of America's ghettos. With little economic opportunity, under-funded and poorly staffed schools, banks' refusal to lend, and hosts of other methods of systematic disenfranchisement, poor Blacks were effectively relegated to ghettos comprised of thousands upon thousands of poor, undereducated persons of limited (read: no) resources. As such, whenever your cram thousands upon thousands of poor people (regardless of race) into close quarters with limited educational and economic opportunities, you effectively create the "crabs in a barrel" paradigm; thus creating an area of high crime and social nonperformance. Criminality is not bred through Black culture, it is the direct result of a lack of education and a lack of economic opportunities compounded by overpopulated residential environments. So, with areas of high crime, police officers patrol those areas more heavily. The more heavily those areas are patrolled the greater the likelihood of law officers associating black skin with criminality and drugs. Yes, even Black officers exhibit this bias against Black citizens. So now, when that officer is on traffic watch, his implicit bias kicks in and forces him to pay more attention to the Black driver than to the White drivers because he has been conditioned to associate black skin with criminal behavior.
  • Pretextual stops. A large portion of traffic stops in highly populated inner cities are conducted as a pretext to further examine a vehicle for drugs or other illicit activities. As stated above, police departments eat from the fruits of the drug war. The drug war pays for our uniforms, cars, equipment, building upgrades, etc. With major cities facing tighter and tighter budgets, police look to the drug war in order to "make up the difference" in any budget constraints. By design, law enforcement (local, state, and federal) effectively control the drug market. That's another topic for another post; I've digressed. Since cops are almost always searching for the "big bust" and we've been conditioned through implicit bias to associate Black with criminality, we often key in on Black motorists more keenly than Whites. So even though a cop's stated reason for stopping someone may be for minor traffic violations such as a faulty taillight, often the traffic violations merely serve as a pretext to further investigate unrelated criminal activity. As such, cops practice their ability to coerce motorists into consenting to vehicle searches; though they've often exhibited no reasonable behavior indicative of any form of criminal activity. Again, statistics show that Whites are more likely to transport drugs and related paraphernalia, yet cops are seemingly powerless against their own implicit biases.
  • Basic human tendency. On a more simple scale, it is human behavior to spot changes in regular patterns. For example, say you're watching a video of a line of red dots moving horizontally from right to left across the screen. After several seconds of tens of little red dots traveling across the screen, that pattern is interrupted by one little blue dot followed by another string of little red dots. Our human tendency is to pay much closer attention to the blue dot. Since Blacks are a large minority (12-15% vs 65-70%) in this country, if the cop is on a major highway monitoring traffic, the minority driver will attract more of the officer's attention. Basic human behavior.


Because this post is becoming incredibly long and I'm aware of the limitations of the American attention span, I'll stop it here. Those were merely a few of the reasons behind the statistics. In practice, neither stands alone. It is a combination of these things and a multitude of other compounding issues that create the de facto second-class citizen condition of the Black American.

The greatest challenge is for us all to recognize that we have implicit biases and to recognize its effects in our decision-making process. Studies conducted with several police departments show that when officers were made aware of their implicit biases through dedicated training sessions, their patrol stats began to reflect a more balanced policing approach. It is through understanding (of self and others) that we grow as a people.

More children go missing than black men commit violent crimes. The vast majority 44.4m ARE NOT commiting violent crime. Total crime on table 43 was at like 2.1m of 7.7m total, 4.7%. Does it sound crazy that 1.3% of the population generally is doing the violent crimes yes, but we know about how heinous these bad neighborhoods can be. We can try and help people get better but there will always be bad apples.

Other than that we already know these numbers including profiling and policing so theyre skewed already yes.

Furthermore, when they say 90% of the crimes are on fellow black people, every race kills intraracially most of all, even without inner cities, we would theorieze that black people would kill 80+% of their own like all other races. Then they act like ‘why should others value your lives when you dont value your own’. How detrimental that train of thought is when the people that dont value their lives are generally only a sliver of the entire population as per these same statistics.

One person said ‘ at this rate(13/60) black people would eradicate themselves in 2 years’. How did this this person even logically fathom thatd be correct, he thinks black people kill 22.5m black people a year somehow. I wonder if he thinks black people kill 60% of the generally population a year but 90% of that black on black crime, so 50%.🤣

EDIT: This is important, so I have to revise my answer. The whole 13/50 thing that’s referenced by the OP (and others), refers to the percentage of the population that is black, committing the majority of violent crimes in the US. Now, that 13% IS the percentage of the population comprised of blacks, but it should be 7/50 due to that 7% being black males, who make up the overwhelming majority of those committing violent crimes (among blacks). So the question should reference violent crimes, not “all crimes.” And to be even more accurate, it really should reference murder, specifically.

I should have corrected this in my initial answer, and I do apologize for any confusion that this error/omission on my part might have caused.

There will be no racial equality in the criminal justice system and there never will be.

Former South Carolina Senator Trey Goudy during a congressional hearing about the very same subject completely tore apart a very liberal professor from Mass. Her position was that the Black Community does not receive the same quality law enforcement with apathy and racism being the biggest factors.

Goudy advised that one of his top Sheriffs who happened to be Black for years complained about the same issues. What Goudys’ Sheriff stated was the biggest problem facing law enforcement in the primarily black areas is witnesses. Unlike other communities witnesses come forward but in the black community they don’t. Goudy gave the example of a drive by shooting, where an 8 year old girl was killed, hundreds of people in the street for a block party and not one person stepped up.

This seems like race-bating to me, but this is the FBI data for 2019:

By the 2023 Census:

The White population is 5.55 times larger than the Black population. Thus, the white murder rate needs to rise from 6,008 to 33,788.4 to equal the Black murder rate. That is a big jump.

This is one of many unpleasant statistics we might discuss. So, I do think we need to keep this in perspective, but the Black murder rate is a consequential social issue.

As to the question, people get mad when the evidence does not match their agenda—this is an inconvenient fact. Attacking the presented and questioning motives are common responses. Sometimes, fake facts get a better reception.

No, that’s just an unpalatable answer like crime stats often are. The FBI gathers data from every police and sheriff’s department across the country and unlike many data sets, the primary color of the skin of those arrested is difficult to get wrong (except for the many multi-race folks.) The majority of murder victims are also young dark-skinned males. Crimes committed as well as victimization don’t match up proportionately on the basis of skin color, religion, gender, age, location, education, family backgrounds/structures, intelligence, work history, or any other factors although that’s an

Crimes committed as well as victimization don’t match up proportionately on the basis of skin color, religion, gender, age, location, education, family backgrounds/structures, intelligence, work history, or any other factors although that’s an implicit assumption. Look at the US DoJ’s Crime Victimization Surveys going back into the 1960’s and how much it varies by who does what and who suffers what in very long patterns across the country.

So a black teenage male commits crimes more than any other type of person in America while an elderly black woman is the least likely crime victim in America, Asians commit very few crimes, senior citizens of all races and locations are the least common crime victims while teenagers are the most common crime victims, children are 2/3rds of the total rape victims, poor single mothers are the most frequent burglary victims, and most shootings are between rival criminals.

The media does a terrible job of reporting crime even with this information readily available for over 50 years and knowing what’s actually going on allows much more effective crime reduction strategies that get 20–40% reductions quickly and permanently.

According to a seminal paper on crime and punishment written in 1968 by Gary Becker, people commit crime because the reward is greater than taking the legal approach. If you are starving, waiting to find a job doesn’t serve your immediate need. If you can’t pay your bills and can’t find a job, you may resort to crime with its risk of jail over the threat of homelessness.

Now, let’s look at blacks. If you are stuck in the projects, watching only a few exceptions who are able to overcome their meager beginnings to escape; do you take the legal approach and hope you are one of the exceptions or do

Now, let’s look at blacks. If you are stuck in the projects, watching only a few exceptions who are able to overcome their meager beginnings to escape; do you take the legal approach and hope you are one of the exceptions or do you pursue something more lucrative but illegal?

Drugs have served as both a short-term escape from their troubles and a source of profit for people in the projects. However, there is a limit to the amount of misery there is to take advantage of leading to turf wars, violence and murder.

Whites forced blacks into projects. Whites engaged in systemic racism to keep them there. Is it any surprise that hopelessness has led to crime? It has zero to do with the color of their skin and everything to do with the circumstances that put them where they are.

No, it isn’t.

One common argument that you’ll hear a lot when discussing systemic racism and police brutality is that “black people are 13% of the population, yet commit 50% of all crimes.” This argument, in additionally to being completely incorrect, has become a favorite of racists on the interent. So, without further ado, I’ll debunk that claim.

Firstly, the “13/50” statistic actually refers to arrests, not crimes. It’s true that black people are more likely to be arrested by the police than white people. The reasons for this are two-fold. Firstly, many members of the police force are overtly

So, without further ado, I’ll debunk that claim.

Firstly, the “13/50” statistic actually refers to arrests, not crimes. It’s true that black people are more likely to be arrested by the police than white people. The reasons for this are two-fold. Firstly, many members of the police force are overtly racist

. White supremacists have been large portions of our police for over a century, as the first modern police units were born from slave patrols. Nowadays, there are documented instances of Neo-Nazi police gangs, such as the Lynwood Vikings and Compton Executioners in the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Compton Executioners, which did not allow women or black people to join, award the above Nazi tatoo to members who commit acts of violence

Secondly, there’s higher police presence in traditionally black neighborhoods than white neighborhoods. Police simply watch black communities more than white communities, either due to subconscious racial biases or because overtly racist police chiefs in the past established police presences in black communities.

Studies back up these claims. For example, a black person is five times as likely to be stopped by a police officer without just cause

. And police use greater force on black suspects than on white suspects in similar situations. And black people are more likely to be wrongfully accused of crimes.

Additionally, we should note that crime is correlated with poverty. People in poverty, for a variety of reasons, are more likely to commit crimes. Black people have had generational wealth stolen from them via centuries of slavery, segregation, and bigotry. Even now, the capitalist system breeds racism and discrimination, exacerbating ancestral differences in wealth by shoving the worst economic burdens on the black minority, thereby alleviating economic pressure on the white majority.

In conclusion, the assertion that black people represent 13% of the population yet commit half of all crimes is racist bullcrap. Be very wary of anyone who pushes that statistic, as they’re usually out to claim that black people are biologically inferior, a racist claim that is of course awful and wrong. In fact, it is systemic and overt racism, combined with our capitalist system, that has caused serious disparities in our criminal “justice” system.

Stay safe,

*I should also note that there is no biological backing behind the concept of race. Sadly, people with darker skin colors are treated worse than those with lighter skin colors, meaning that the concept of race is still relevant today, despite the fact it has no biological basis. The usage of terms “white” and “black” is not meant to assert the concept of race is biologically valid.

I honestly cannot blame them when I think about it, because they associate "racism" with hatred, dogs being turned loose on peaceful protestors, lynching, and slavery. It's much harder to see racism in white flight, disproportionately funded schools, redlining minority neighborhoods, heavy handed police presence in said neighborhoods, and economic disparity.

Since the 80s, we were taught that everyone has the same opportunity to have a shot at the American Dream. Unfortunately, a dream that lacks measurable progress is simply a wish.

During our most recent recession, The Black unemployment rate was more than twice the rate of Whites, and that figure was eerily similar to the numbers during the Great Depression. There have been Ivy League studies that have revealed that "Black sounding" names will get called for interviews for 4-6 weeks later than European names when both parties have the same qualifications.

Although studies like these have been telling, there's little that people can do to prove that they've been discriminated against.

I took a somewhat circuitous route to put it like this; it's easy to show malfeasance on the part of the prosecutor, but racism would be hard to prove because it exists in the mind.

Furthermore, black crime rates are very high ALL OVER THE WORLD. London, Johannesburg and New York all share similar black violent crime rates. Unless there's a vast international conspiracy to make blacks look bad, we must conclude that they do commit more violent crime…

According to the FBI crime statistics, blacks killed more than 514 whites in 2019 whereas whites killed 234 blacks.

Blacks kill significantly more than twice as many whites as whites kill blacks.

Blacks commit more than 52% of murders and are only 13% of population. This means they are more than 6 times more likely to commit a murder than a non-black.

Because the justice system is composed of real people, and real people have a statistical likelihood of being racist. Anywhere in the chain if there is bias, the bias affects events up the chain inevitably, even if there is no bias at those higher levels.

For instance, if there is such a thing as “driving when black” (which there is), more black people are going to end up having legal consequences. Judges rule on who is brought before them. That’s not to say judges can’t be biased, but this is something that is out of their control. As it was for the DA below that, etc etc. Anywhere that racism

Statistics, when true and verifiable, are not and cannot be “racist". They can only be true and verifiable at that point, no matter what they say.

So while the 13/50 numbers may vary by a percentage point or two from year to year, they're still true, even if you don't like what they say.

His answer was much like a class lecture, or a textbook from 200 years in the future that is posed to a much more progressive society to get them to understand just how pervasive, pathological, and illogical racism has been throughout American history.

And almost like a gift, we get a hologram of a real-live police officer in those days in the form of Bill Stein who turns the pages of the textbook into flesh, and places a face and a name to the newest version of America's slightly more sophisticated face of racism.

Bill believes in the Constitution, which should mean that he favors equal protection under, and equal accountability to the law, yet his principle is hijacked by an even greater idea. That idea is the inferiority of Black people. He pontificates about a subculture that only affects people with high levels of melanin; a "subculture" that is responsible for a propensity for crime, lawlessness, murder, drug distribution, consumption, a lack of moral compunction, and the resulting lack of family values thereof.

Mr. Stein is a remarkable specimen because not only does he believe that Blacks are a monolith that are worthy of being grouped by their race, the fortitude of his ego absolutely depends upon it as well. Why would you ask? It is because White males like Bill Stein typically have achieved nothing of dramatic significance in their lives, and that would be tragic, if it weren't for those miscreant Blacks that he can feel superior to at any given time. He isn't among the upper echelon of income earners in this country, he doesn't hold a high level of intelligence or IQ, and he hasn't improved the lives of a great or small number of people around him.

This ideology would be egregious in and of itself, but he has to embark on the self-fulfilling prophecy of patrolling the streets every day looking for examples of those inferior Blacks that he can cite, search, and sometimes arrest to sate the beast of confirmation bias. Now even this would be terrible if it weren't for the fact that he works within a subculture of his own; a police subculure, where violence toward citizens, domestic violence, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, obstruction of justice, racketeering, and falsifying records and planting evidence are the norm.

He basks in the approbation of a culture of malfeasance that is above reproach because he and his colleagues can go to the nearest minority neighborhood and act as an occupying military force with impunity. In the shadows of 9/11, police officers have been able to frame their vocations in the subsequent hero worship as above reproach, and they are very careful to appeal to the proper demographics so as not to fall in disgrace. They have learned how to be friendly and helpful in suburbia and caustic and inflexible in the "hood." They are a relief to be seen on the streets of a White neighborhood, and strike non-verbal terror when they appear in the rear view mirrors of a Hispanic driver.

They've been able to carefully and consistently balance their altruism and malice over disparate communities until dashcams, body cameras, smartphones, and comment sections of social media exposed the fetid and grotesque duality of their consciousness.

This, class, is what a 21st Century racist with marginal power, housed in a vehicle built for systematic injustice and inequality looks like. Be sure to take notes and be prepared to write a 10 page essay on his willful ignorance and how the pathology of White Privilege and White Supremacy created hundreds of thousands just like him and vitiated the country's growth domestically and internationally for another half century by week's end.

Any questions?

Robin Steinberg runs a public advocates office called the Bronx Defenders.

Steinberg was recently interviewed on NPR for a segment called "
Ferguson: The Hard Realities of Race & Justice."


Steinberg argues that
people of color are being arrested "for conduct that's not being policed in other communities."

Steinberg recalls that 25 years ago, cops patrolled neighborhoods in search of criminals. Think Starsky and Hutch. Miami Vice. Hawaii Five-O. Book 'em, Danno.


Today, things are different. Police patrol
low income neighborhoods looking for perps. They catch people committing minor infractions which they treat "as though they were serious offenses."

Trespassing.

Graffiti.

Riding a bicycle in the road.

Walking down the street with a bottle of
beer.

Cops search people who are standing around and catch them with
small amounts of marijuana.

Can you say
STOP AND FRISK?

How about that uproar a few years back over "d
riving while black?" Remember that?


Affluent white people do these things, too. But when
they do them, police don't pay attention. People who do the same things in poor black neighborhoods find that there, police enforce the letter of the law.

Let me ask you:
How many times have you been stopped for a traffic infraction and you drove away without a ticket?

Are you White, or are you Black?

Steinberg sees a "perceived suspicion" by police about those who live in poor neighborhoods.

Living under constant surveillance, those people develop a resentment about being watched as they walk down the street to mail a letter. Police presence
becomes a threat.

Can you blame them?


"The problem is that
nothing happens to the police officers when they overstep their bounds," says Steinberg. We end up "shoveling" black people into the justice system.

Data from a Pew Research Group study found that black males are 6 times more likely to be arrested than white males for the same crime: Incarceration gap widens between whites and blacks.

Federal Bureau of Justice statistics on traffic stops in 2008 found that black drivers were 3 times as likely as white drivers and twice as likely as Hispanic drivers to be searched. Quoran Ingrid A. Hansen in her answer to this question points out that red light cameras are deployed around poor neighborhoods.

WHY?


We ALL know -- how can you not? -- that this country has
a fundamental problem with the way people who are not white are treated by law enforcement.

I have lived in New York all my life. The first time I heard the term "jungle bunny" was my cousin Jayjay, who was working as a cop in the NYPD Vice Squad. Years later, when I heard what they did to Abner Louima in the men's room, I remembered Jayjay's description of what they used to do in his precinct when stuck with a perp they were tired of.

In the White World that I live in, most people think it's obvious that a person who is arrested must have
asked for it.

When this person is acquitted, therefore, they simply "beat the rap."


Where is
John Howard Griffin when we need him?

A friend of mine, trying to find out how to get his own criminal police report on a case dismissed years ago, asked for help on Quora. One response was from a critic: She wanted to know
why "you put yourself in this position".

This
blaming of victims for false arrests reflects the deeper WHITE view that people who are arrested are the cause of their own problems. It's their own fault they are in handcuffs because "you put yourself in this position."

In other words:

Innocent until proven is guilty is a myth. Innocent after proven innocent is also a myth.

I live in a house in zip code 11577. I work in zip code 10005. I grew up in 11542 and 11560. I used to live in 11215.

I have
never been handcuffed.

I have
argued, sometimes vigorously, with cops.

No cop has ever
hit me over the head with a blackjack, dragged me on the ground to the paddywagon, or sprayed teargas in my face. God help them if they try.

Why?

Simple. I'm white.

So: Why do black people get thrown in jail more than other people?

Simple. They're black.

The earliest forms of policing involved slavery patrol. Cops purposely covered up and often antagonized both White and Black people fighting for abolition of slavery in the US then later Civil Rights. Today, around 36% of murder exoneration of Black men, is the result of police misconduct. Frankly, it would be impossible to say that policing has been done fairly in America, the exact opposite in fact.

White and Black people use and sell drugs at the same rates but Black people are disproportionately arrested. Black people and Brown people are disproportionately stopped and frisked although statistics indicated White people...

If you are even narcissistic, and a white junkie, I could call the cops if you were smart ass to me and five cop cars would swoop, and someone would go to jail. Pinellas county SHERIFF is FAMOUSLY corrupt, but the majority of the mostly white cops are not corrupt. I wouldn’t mess with a white cop in downtown St Pete, or really try to befriend them. They have the rich to protect there, only, and are VAGUELY smart ass. ST Petersburg, Florida is number 15 on the list of LEAST safe cities, the wording due to the Sheriff’s vengeful and corrupt activities. Even a sheriff complained to me about it. He said that it was worse than Jacksonville, which is famously racist. The actual Tampa Bay is number one for human trafficking in the country and the Sheriff and top officials within the Sheriff’s department in Pinellas are Black. The Crips run the schools, transportation and the Tampa Bay itself through running Security guard companies, for God’s Sake. Very complicated.
