Folks seem to love to cite the “epidemic” that is black on black crime. But maybe it’s time White Americans take a look in the mirror:
The disturbing truth, according to the FBI’s most recent homicide statistics, is that the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.
And we’re not even talking about just crime here, this is straight up murder. This should be an interesting talking point for Obama to mention, don’t you think? Team Blackness also discussed cops’ inability to deal with mental illness, a black man who apparently shot himself in the chest while his hands were cuffed behind his back, and Michael Sam’s NFL showering habits.

People most often kill those they know, and in America, we tend to racially segregate ourselves.

It’s like Chicago Tourette’s.

We clearly need to lock up more 9 year old girls.

Yeah, but how is Big Daddy going to train Hit Girl?

It’s amazing how white conservatives only care about black-on-black violence when everyone else wants to talk about cop-on-black violence,
Any other time, they don’t seem to give a damn.

Great work. Keep it up.
Almost on topic.
How about these cops stop cuffing and detaining folks for six hours?

Or beating down people for driving while black?

Just sayin’.

My Caucasoid brethern are directed to hand over all your weaponry to me, and I’ll take good care of them. M’kay?
Wait, I’d need a house the size of Cincinnati. Never mind.
On the plus side you could melt them into a really good bridge, of which we’re in great need.

White community leaders need to stand up and condemn the outrageous levels of violence and crime in the white community.

This trend will only grow as American continues on it’s path of re-segregation.
Violence is a common part of the human condition and is not owned by any racial group.

@Keith G:
I hope you’re going over to Red State and other conservative sites to remind them of that, because they sure seem convinced that black people are the only violent ones and that’s why Michael Brown’s killing was completely justified.
Of course, you already knew that and were just playing your contrarian schtick again.

It’s all that damn country “music” they all listen to that glorifies drinking and fighting and cheating and whatnot.

@Mnemosyne: If I went to RS, I fear I would need to boil my computer to kill the cooties. I don’t see why emphasizing a simple fact is contrarianism, but if you say so then I guess it is.

@Keith G:
I’m doing you the courtesy of assuming you’re being a contrarian rather than being so out-of-touch that you’ve never heard the claim that the problem is that black people are naturally more violent than white people. If you really are that out-of-touch, let me Google that for you.

Too many rural whites of a certain socioeconomic background are steeped in a perverse culture that worships the gun as a means of settling disputes. As many important scholars who happen to be black and have talk shows have diagnosed it, this sad phenomena may be called the Hatfield-McCoy syndrome. But you won’t see race hucksters like Bill Clinton talking about it.

@Sad_Dem:
And too many whites look up to role models like Louie Gohmert and Sarah Palin, rather than the good whites who are a credit to their race…

Interesting tidbit in the linked article:

I’m loving these reverse memes that illustrate the utter idiocy of the concern trolling about “black on black” crime.
Elon, you’re doing yeoman work. Keep it up.
