Yeah, but why aren't we talking about the fact that over 80% of white murder victims are killed by other whites?

I'll take % by population or whites aren't the ones bitching for $400 Alex

So, mmcgrath, are we going to have to go thru this charade every time a white person kills a black person?

Even though incidents of whites killing blacks is pretty rare, in a country of 330 million people I guess we should just resign ourselves to the fact that this will be a part of our future.

That was part of Giuliani's bigger point, mmcgrath, but you obviously aren't sharp enough to grasp that.

Probably because that's an inaccurately high number. And also because the white on white number is similarly high. Finally, we ARE talking about. It's a myth that we aren't.

because "white killings" is not a national topic right now

but not a national topic, nor is the total # exceeding the population representation

Decatur,

So many holes in your "logic," bro.

(1) White people don't form mobs and threaten to burn down a town when a black person kills a white person.

(2) That's despite the fact that blacks kill whites at a rate that is 20X higher than whites killing blacks.

(3) You used a percentage, but the incidence of white-on-white violence is miniscule compared to black-on-black violence.

But other than that, Decatur, your post was pure genius.

This article says the black number is 90% while the white number is 83%.

You keep saying this as if it proves something. I would say the same thing in defense of MY position as well. It's only a national topic because people like Giuliani bring it up as a red herring.

That is a fair point. I wish people would stick to that one.

Perhaps not anymore, but oh, back in the old days. They formed murderous mobs for much much lesser reasons than that.

But that ignores the falsity of your "point": this isn't just a "white person killing a black person". It's the cops. If you can't understand the rightful rage many blacks have against the cops, then I don't know what to tell you.
