Can't copy/paste with my phone, but I have to weigh in on a comment which was made earlier, stating that most people are killed by a person of the same race.

While that happens to be a fact, it means nothing unless you also examine the rate by which people of the same race are killing each other. The fact is, non-blacks aren't killing each other at anything even remotely approaching the rate of blacks killing other blacks.

There isn't an epidemic of whites killing other white people.

Ditto for Asians, Hispanics, Indians, etc.

So, to simply say that most people are killed by a member of the same race, without talking about the rate by which it is happening, is simply ludicrous.

Yet, nobody marches, riots, or loots over this epidemic of black on black killing.

PS - I'm not angry, trackfan. I'm just telling the truth about this matter.

Again, this is just deflection. It gives justification for whites to criticize the black community for a problem that pervades both races. The bigger point is for both races, the vast majority of victims of violent crime are poor and downtrodden.

It's like the welfare debate. If you look at total number of welfare recipients, the number of whites and blacks receiving welfare assistance is virtually the same, yet the blacks are far more vilified for it.
