Most -- not all -- tend to be young black males.

Blacks are 13 percent of America, so young black males thus represent about 4 percent of the country, but they commit 60 percent of the robbery and 53 percent of the murder.

Vast majority of most crimes are committed by a person of the same race as the victim, Bureau of Justice Statistics reports.

The Justice Department’s statistics-crunching arm just blew up a whole stack of white-supremacist myths about the nature of interracial crime and violence committed by minorities.

In a report released Thursday titled Race and Hispanic Origin of Victims and Offenders, 2012-2015, the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics found that a majority of most violent crimes are committed by people who are the same race as their victims. Indeed, the rate of white-on-white violent crime, it found, is about four times the rate of black-on-white crime.

White supremacists frequently like to manipulate crime statistics in order to claim that nonwhite minorities, particularly African-Americans, are far more crime-prone and the source of most violent crime against whites. Indeed, it is a core belief that this is the case, and many white nationalist ideologues — including politician and pundit Patrick Buchanan, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, and the Council of Conservative Citizens — all have made considerable hay out of proffering “studies” laden with risibly bad statistics and other evidence to make their case.

The BJS study demonstrates plainly that this is simply not the case. Some 57 percent of crimes involving white victims were committed by white perpetrators, while only 15 percent were committed by blacks, and 11 percent by Hispanics. Black crime victims fell along similar racial lines, with 63 percent of the crimes committed by black perpetrators, while 11 percent were committed by whites, and 6.6 percent by Hispanics.

Overall, the BJS reported, “the percentage of intraracial [that is, same-race] victimization was higher than the percentage of interracial victimization for all types of violent crime except robbery.”

Moreover, it explained, “the rate of white-on-white violent crime (12.0 per 1,000) was about four times higher than black-on-white violent crime (3.1 per 1,000). The rate of black-on-black crime (16.5 per 1,000) was more than five times higher than white-on-black violent crime (2.8 per 1,000). The rate of Hispanic-on-Hispanic crime (8.3 per 1,000) was about double the rate of white-on-Hispanic (4.1 per 1,000) and black-on-Hispanic (4.2 per 1,000) violent crime.”

This is consistent with previously collected data, including a National Crime Victim Survey in 2000 that showed that 73 percent of white violent crime victims were attacked by whites, and 80 percent of black victims were targeted by blacks. This pattern is even clearer in the category of murder.

That hasn’t chastened the people promulgating the distorted statistics. Buchanan, citing Taylor’s fake statistics in 2007, wrote: “The real repository of racism in America — manifest in violent interracial assault, rape and murder — is to be found not in the white community, but the African-American community.”

Nor have the smears faded at all: In 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump retweeted a graphic that originated on a neo-Nazi website trotting out statistics mainly lifted from Taylor and the CofCC.

The false beliefs that arise from these smears have consequences, too: Dylann Roof, the domestic terrorist who killed nine members of a Charleston church’s black congregation in June 2015, shouted during the rampage at his victims his belief that they were “killing us.” In his manifesto, he specifically cited the CofCC’s website and Taylor’s smear pamphlet as the source of his information.

It has always been known that, if you allow in 12 million illegal aliens, it mostly hurts poor legal Hispanics and blacks who via proximity become crime victims.

[elklindo69]

John Forbes is role playing and pushing out the white supremacist canards.

You were the one who elected an incompetent flaming hot dumpster fire of a president who has been burned down to bragging about a 13% unemployment rate.

[johnforbes]

Elkin, be honest.

Trump brought unemployment to historic lows, and it was your Democrat doctor Fauci who shut down the economy.

[elklindo69]

Trump rode Obama and his father's coattails.

And we ended up getting a donkey's ass of a president whose military leaders don't want have anything to do with his stupid race war.

[johnforbes]

What "race war"?

In Minneapolis, a 5-time loser was drunk outside a store and passing out fake money.

One cop was too aggressive, Floyd died, and he shouldn't have, and we have a system of law to charge him with at least involuntary manslaughter.

NFL players say they will not be silent about racial inequality, but blacks are vastly over-represented in the NFL.

I demand my right to play in the NFL despite having never played football other than pickup games in high school.

It must be racial discrimination against me.

[elklindo69]

Passing out fake money? How would you know he was passing out fake money (deliberately or not)?

Do you check all of the bills that you receive to see if they are counterfeit?

No....you don't. So you could be passing out counterfeit money without even knowing it. Now does someone have to die for passing out counterfeit currency?

This goes to show how stupid people have to ruin everything.

[johnforbes]

The store clerk said that was what Floyd was doing.

That was one of the reasons the 911 call was made, and apparently his drunken behavior was another.

Is that really worthy of a 911 call?

I doubt it, but then I've never been a convenience store clerk.

However, once Elkin completes his GED, he might ascend to that lofty position.

[elklindo69]

Johnnie....now the owner of the store is not even going to bother to call the police if they suspect if anybody has passed counterfeit currency. The owner also admitted that the store clerk was inexperienced and the clerk didn't determine it was a fake but some money counting machine that flagged it as a "potential counterfeit." And who knows how accurate those things are anyway? Jeez....I've seen plenty of singles get rejected by vending machine (real currency) not fake.

At it was the owner who said that there are many customers who come in and pay with counterfeit currency.

Not to mention the fact there are a bunch of bars in my area where drunken NYPD cops get into fights with the firefighters and they fucking urinate all over the place....and they don't end up dead when they get arrested.

[johnforbes]

I actually agree with much of that, and the original 911 call probably should not have been made.

But then Floyd shouldn't have been on drugs, but he was.

He shouldn't have robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint, but he did.

The cop Chauvin shouldn't have been as vigorous in making what should have been a simple arrest, but he was.

The leftist mayor Jacob Frey shouldn't have kneeled to nutty leftists, but he did.

The media outlets should not be race-baiting, but they are.

Looters should not abuse Floyd's death to steal Nike shoes, but they are.

[elklindo69]

Johnnie....maybe if whites didn't systematically discriminate against blacks for the past 400 years or so then we wouldn't be having this discussion now would we?

[johnforbes]

For the past 50 years, the racial discrimination has been in favor of blacks.

It is called affirmative action (now hiding as "diversity").

[elklindo69]

Leveling the playing field is not being discriminatory against whites.

Trump claimed if they had mail in ballots then republicans would never win again. The guy is trying to keep people from voting and mail in ballots actually favor whites.

[johnforbes]

There are always lazy excuses for racism.

Elkin's excuse is making the field level.

Look, equal opportunity means equal.

It doesn't mean white racism, nor does it mean reverse racism, which has now existed for 40 years in the form of affirmative action (i.e., racism favoring minorities).

[elklindo69]

Blacks own 1% of the wealth in the country or something like that. So all things being equal the gap between non whites and whites is not really a results of nature/natural ability/motivation but unequal circumstances.

Instead of recognizing how "racial preferences" have given whites a head start in life and tilting the playing field in their favor Johnnie will never admit how race doesn't affect the lives of whites. Instead, Johnnie denies the reality and criticizes blacks for not achieving what whites have achieved. And even more galling situation gets flipped by accusing blacks and others of using the "race card" to advance themselves.

[johnforbes]

There is no guarantee of equal outcome, nor should there be.

Equal opportunity should be the goal, but minorities have had special advantages for almost half a century in America.

Asians are most disadvantaged by affirmative action's reverse racism.

[Clownkicker]

johnny, there are nearly as many Asian students admitted into the U of California system as there are 'whites' admitted.

They are hardly "disadvantaged" when their opportunities now match or exceed those of whites as a percentage of the population.

"Asians are most disadvantaged by affirmative action's reverse racism"-- criminy...
Everyone should be so unfortunate.

If you would bother to check into your propaganda before merely regurgitating it, you wouldn't repeatedly make such a fool of yourself.

[johnforbes]

Clown, you don't understand the nature of merit.

It doesn't flow from gender or melanin content.

It is the ability to cut it.

Affirmative action judges merit based on genetic accidents, and it is as wrong as the original white racism.

And wrong for the same reason.

[elklindo69]

Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and you don't take any issue with Trump sending out his mob lawyer to threaten to sue his college if they released Trump's grades....so don't go and lecture people about melanin content and merit.
