Martin, Zimmerman, and American Racism

Read a post over at Casting Pearls Before Swine regarding the Trayvon/Zimmerman issue. I did some research for my comment and thought I would share my findings here. Enjoy some facts.

According to a 2007 report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics:

* 8,000-9,000 blacks are murdered each year. 93% of these murders are carried out by other blacks.

* Blacks are 12.5% of the American population, but are 46% of the homicide victims. That means that 42.78% of the murders in this country are black people killing other black people.

A U.S. Department of Justice report that covered stats from 1974-2004 showed that:

* 52.2% of all murders were committed by blacks and 45.8% were committed by whites. (black murderer rate of 4.176 white murderer rate of 0.698).

2010 statistics from a study done under the direction of Eric Holder shows: 

* 20% of hate crimes are committed by blacks even though they only made up 13% of the population. That means that their rate of hate crime is 1.53 while the average of all other races combined in this country is 0.92.

* Blacks murder twice as many whites each year than whites murder blacks

* In most interracial crimes (not just murder), the victim is white and the assailant is black. Black assailants attack whites 45% of the time. White assailants attack blacks 3% of the time.

And the attention is on Zimmerman shooting Martin and the obvious racism that white people have against blacks?!?!

Hmmmmmm ...

No, it does not make sense. But let me tell you this much, if it were the other way around and Martin killed Zimmerman we never would have heard about it. How do we know this? Consider the facts above and the number of interracial murder reports you have ever seen.
 



Peace Out,

Obama is all about promoting any division he can. Why? Division just might help to promote his re-election.

Thank you for posting these stats.

I'm always glad to share indisputable facts. Liberals have no idea what to do with them. HA!

I clicked on the link to your site. It keeps bringing me back here.

You're a racist for pointing all this out ;)

What bugs me about GZ is that his altercation with TM occurred AFTER GZ called for police. If this had been me, I really think I would have stayed away from TM and not been playing "cops & robbers".

Having said that, I also don't think 2nd degree murder makes any sense either. Maybe a low-order manslaughter...

Well, we can all be thankful we still have the free speech rights to debate issues such as this, and be thankful for the right to trial by jury where hopefully clarity and justice will be forthcoming.

Jeff, of COURSE I'm a racist! You know what county I live in. I must be a member of the KKK as well.

Cliff, I have to admit that I would keep an eye on a suspicious person until the cops arrived. My understanding is that there had been some crime in the area. I would have watched to see if he tried to enter a house or something myself.

Of course all we have is GZ's version of what happened. I believe that there are witnesses that are afraid to come forward. The Black Panthers and their ilk claim to want justice. However, when they are tweeting out private addresses (reckless endangerment?) and are marching in LARGE groups, it's intimidating.

I believe they are well aware of this. I believe they are purposely doing whatever they can to prevent possible defense witnesses from coming forward.
