Black On White Crime Alarming

[ll74]

Bullshit.

The main factor is the inability of those involved in crime to not participate in crime. What drives their participation isn't inequality or poverty, it's a REFUSAL to abide by what is right and not do wrong.

Whether that refusal is because of a failure of their culture, upbringing, socio-ecomonic, or other factor is irrelevant; they CHOSE to break the law and hurt someone.

Adding bullshit window dressing to it doesn't make the crime go away or the victims feel better about being victimized. All it does is make some people feel more sanctimonious.

Dude. ...you're so full of shit. People break the rules because of a large number of possible things. Kids steal a pack of gum...that doesn't make them a lifelong criminal. People run red lights.....not a lifelong criminal. Sometimes people in poverty and failure deal with it by numbing the brains reaction ....that can lead to addiction which can lead to more crime.

Some people gamble......which leads to a.spiral of povertty which can lead to more crime.

You are a really shitty lawyer.

Breaking Down The Stereotype: Why The ‘Black-On-Black Crime’ Myth Just Isn’t True​

Crime is a multifaceted issue that affects communities around the world, and discussions about crime statistics can often be oversimplified or misunderstood.

Crime is a multifaceted issue that affects communities around the world, and discussions about crime statistics can often be oversimplified or misunderstood. One such phrase that has gained attention is “Black-on-Black crime.” The harmful trope has been perpetuated and spewed by right-wing politicians, some say, to justify the over-policing of Black communities across the United States. But it’s a complex issue that must be viewed through a broader lens.​

Where does the history of Black-on-Black crime come from?​

The myth of Black-on-Black crime first appeared in Fredrick Hoffman’s popular 1986 study, Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro. Using a combination of statistics, eugenic theory and speculation, Hoffman argued that Black people had issues with crime at a higher rate than other minority groups. His theory was later dubbed “The Negro Problem.”

According to Teen Vogue, in his controversial study, Hoffman penned that “The colored male…only too often leads the life of a vagrant.” He also alleged that Black men had a “greater tendency to crime and pauperism than the whites.”

Hoffman’s eye-brow-raising study of the Black community was controversial for many reasons. Some historians claimed that the German author and immigrant was a proponent of racial hierarchy and white supremacy, which may have influenced his views on the Black community and his study overall. Other experts say that the statistician sheds light on the social and economic factors that can exacerbate crime in Black communities. But Hoffman’s data hasn’t withstood the test of time.

A report published by The Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2019 found that Black offenders committed crimes against Black victims at the same rate violent offenders from white communities commit crimes against white victims.

Between 2014 and 2018, 62% of violent crimes carried out against white victims were white assailants. Around 70% of violent incidents committed against Black victims were carried out by Black offenders, according to the report. The same trend appeared to ring true for the Hispanic community, albeit at a lower rate, hovering at 45%.

White-on-white crime exists, and Black-on-Black crime seems to be perpetuated and promoted throughout mass media​

Harvard Kennedy School professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad told ABC News 2020 that the Black-on-Black crime myth is often used as a political talking point to excuse disproportionate incarceration rates and aggressive police policies in the Black community.


“We certainly understand when someone makes a categorical claim about an entire group of people as a race of criminals, that that is in fact a racist idea,” Muhammad said.

The dangerous rhetoric has led conservative politicians like Donald Trump to spread fake news about Black crime statistics. In 2015, the former president tweeted a controversial graphic that claimed 97% of Black people killed are killed by other Black people, and that only 80% of white people killed are killed by Black people. He later deleted the misleading post.

It’s the fallacy that led former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani to make the bold statement that white officers wouldn’t have to patrol Black communities if Black folks “weren’t killing each other 70-75% of the time.”

Economic and social factors must not be ignored​

Crime is a deeply complex phenomenon influenced by a variety of socioeconomic and historical factors, including redlining, discriminatory policy and unequal access to opportunities, all of which have affected Black communities. These structural inequalities can create the perfect breeding ground for crime in the Black community or any community for that matter.

Crime is prevalent in some Black communities, but what are we doing to change it? Focusing solely on “Black-on-Black crime” detracts from addressing the underlying causes of crime and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. To address these challenges effectively, we must consider comprehensive strategies to help uplift and push the Black community forward.

Providing quality education and access to educational resources can empower individuals to break the cycle of crime and poverty. Creating economic opportunities through job training, employment programs and small business support can uplift communities and reduce desperation-driven crime. Establishing community centers, mentorship programs and recreational activities can help strengthen bonds between community members, which can ultimately decrease crime and violence in Black communities.

No matter how AAs behave, the "black brute" stereotype in American culture will never entirely die.

constant insults and put downs are not arguments

You need to actually figure out what "argument" means. And then make one.

Otherwise, you're just another bigoted blowhard like the rest of the klowns/trolls here.

“Black-on-Black Crime” Is a Dangerous Myth​

This op-ed addresses how white supremacists have long promoted the idea that Black people are inherently more violent.


A report released by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2017 found that of all the violent crimes committed between 2012 and 2015, 22.7% were committed by Black people, and 63% of those were committed against other Black people. This is in comparison to 44% of all violent crimes committed by white people, 57% of which were committed against other white people. According to this data, white people commit crimes against other white people at about the same rate that Black people do against other Black people. But despite these numbers, people aren’t discussing the “white-on-white” crime problem. When a white person commits a crime against another white person, it’s just called a crime; race isn’t a factor, and that’s intentional. Using language like “Black-on-Black crime” perpetuates the myth that intraracial violence is specific to the Black community — a myth that implies Black people are inherently more violent. This tactic has been used to justify the mistreatment of Black people since the abolishment of slavery.

"Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro" was the first nationwide compilation of racial crime data. Published in 1896, this report by Frederick Hoffman was “arguably the most influential race and crime study of the first half of the 20th century,” according to Khalil Gibran Muhammad, professor of history, race, and public policy at Harvard Kennedy School. In the report, Hoffman wrote, “Given the same conditions of life for two races, the one of Aryan descent will prove the superior, solely on account of its ancient inheritance of virtue and transmitted qualities which are determining factors in the struggle for race supremacy.” He also presented statistics about prisoners’ races with the crimes they were convicted of, writing, “The colored male…only too often leads the life of a vagrant,” and that the Black race had a “greater tendency to crime and pauperism than the whites.” This pivotal text — which was presented as a scientific study — used the language of white supremacy and explicitly stated that violence and crime are within the nature of Black people.

According to a separate 2014 Justice Department report, people living in households below the federal poverty level had more than double the rate of violent victimization than people in high-income households. Additionally, poor Black people and poor white people were found to commit violent crimes at similar rates: 46.4% for white people and 43.4% for Black people. With the clear connection between poverty and crime rates — and the fact that the poverty rate for Black Americans (20.8% in 2018) is more than twice the poverty rate for white Americans (8.1%) — it’s obvious that anyone who truly cares about lowering the crime rate in the U.S. would spend their time and resources working to eradicate poverty.


Racism and poverty are inextricably linked in this country. The disproportionate rate of poverty among Black Americans has been designed by generations of racist leaders who intentionally created racist policies and institutions to stifle the growth of Black Americans. None of this is new information to Black people. We know our country’s history better than most because we haven’t been able to escape it. We also know about the violence within our communities. If people who invoke the phrase “Black-on-Black crime” in response to the BLM movement paid any attention to Black people and their communities, they’d know Black people care about that too — and talk about it, a lot.

There are countless grassroots groups, programs, rallies, marches, and even music contributions powered by Black people to address this violence. Additionally, in a 2015 Pew Research Center poll, Black people supported stricter gun laws at a higher rate than white people; and in a 2018 Pew survey, when asked if gun violence is a very big problem in the United States, 82% of Black people said yes, compared with 47% of white people. Black people are concerned about all crime, but even if we weren’t, it would still be well within our rights to be outraged that the people who are paid to protect us are killing us — and more often than not, getting away with it. Each time a police officer has taken the life of an unarmed Black person and our justice system has declared them “not guilty,” both institutions are telling the world that Black lives don’t matter. We are Americans, and we have a right to demand more from our country and government.

White supremacists will justify colonization, slavery, and the confederacy, all while saying Black people are an inherently more violent race. Think about that. Crime within Black communities is comparable to crime within white communities, but white people aren’t being killed by police at the alarming rate that Black people are. Still, people like former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani felt justified in saying, after the killing of 18-year-old Mike Brown, “The white police officers wouldn’t be there if you [Black people] weren’t killing each other.” This type of language is an attempt to justify the killings of Brown, Taylor, Floyd, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, and the ever-growing list of Black victims of police brutality. It takes the blame from the officers involved and places it on the victims simply for being Black. We’re not asking for special treatment; we’re asking for equal treatment. To call the fallacy of Black-on-Black crime anything other than anti-Black racism is an injustice in itself.

What your mom does with her time is her business.

Insulting a poster's mother is a lower form of discourse than insulting the poster.

And it is not necessary to prove your point. Emphasize facts like this:

According to the National Crime Victimization Survey in 2002, robberies with white victims and black offenders were more than 12 times more common than the opposite.[57][58]

Why does color matter to you here? (Hint: racism) The whole situation is sad and children dying as a result is also very sad. And the man responsible should be held accountable.
