Statistics Don’t Lie, But Black Lives Matter Does

American Greatness: Do we have systemic racism against blacks or a systemic culture of overwhelmingly rampant self-inflicted violence and death in majority-black communities?

In the adult world of serious matters, opinions are useless, irrelevant, and worthless, because everyone has one; anything that everyone has is usually of little to no value. 

Conversely, science, math, numbers, evidence, data and facts, contracts, and laws—these matter a great deal.

Despite what the limousine liberal athletes of American professional sports leagues tell you, blacks value black lives far less than do whites.ere’s the evidence:

According to FBI data, in 2016: 

In cases of multiple offenders and/or victims: 7,881 blacks were murdered and 6,095 of their murderers were black—the rate of black-on-black murder in that sample was 77 percent.

By comparison, 6,576 whites were murdered and  5,004 of their murderers were white—the rate of white-on-white murder in that sample was 76 percent. more

In cases of single victim/single offender murder (these numbers are incorporated into the above, and are not a separate set of data): 2,870 blacks were murdered and of those 2,570 of the murderers were black while 243 were white.

Ninety percent of blacks murdered in single victim/single offender cases were killed by other blacks.

In cases of single victim/single offender murder (these numbers are incorporated into the above, and are not a separate set of data): 3,499 whites were murdered and of those 2,854 of the murderers were white while 533 were black.

Eighty-two percent of whites murdered in single victim/single offender cases were killed by other whites.

According to data from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2018 there were 563,940 incidents of violence, excluding simple assault, against blacks; incidents of violence are considered not murder, but rape or sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Of the 563,940 incidents harming blacks, 70 percent of the perpetrators (approximately 395,000) were black; 10.6 percent were white (approximately 60,000).

There were nearly 3.6 million of the same types of incidents of violence against whites; 15 percent of those perpetrators (approximately 540,000) were black.
