You understand very little about statistics, how to use them, and how to interpret them.

You cherry-pick statistics the same way you selectively quote me, implying that talking loud on the phone leads to crime. The group of people who are loud/aggressive/ignore boundaries are the ones committing the crimes.

For you to dismiss the FACT that over 193 Chicago Black children under 17 have been shot this year as “clickbait” and “hysteria” is disgusting.

Over 25 unarmed, innocent Black kids UNDER 11 years old have been shot this year.

Over 2700 humans, mostly Black, have been shot this year in Chicago.

No white communities endure that kind of suffering. so, Yeah, no need for YOU to “panic.”

Tell their parents and families who are seen on TV crying every night that they are being hysterical when they cry out for people to Stop the Violence.

Newsflash: it is NOT white cops inflicting that kind of violence on Black families, and I am tired of hearing Black people talk about an urgent need to defend their families from white people and justifying the murder of cops and white people in that regard.

Black on Black Violence is NOT a Myth, but the Marxists seeking to inflame Black people and use them like pawns to overthrow the capitalist system want you to think it is.

Go check out the politics of Assatta Shakur, the mentor of BLM, to see where BLM gets the inspiration to chant “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon.”

The National Review report you cited ignores that there was a huge spike in violence in the early 90s associated with the crack epidemic and the advent of Gangsta Rap.

Governments, such as the Clinton administration, started passing new laws and enforcing old ones, and more and more people — the majority Black — were thrown in prison. That helped to bring the crime rates and violence down.

People of your generation did not suddenly start “eschewing violence.” Man, are you that narcissistic and desperate to be proud for anything and everything for the sake of self-esteem?

Obviously things are going to look better when compared with the craziness of the crack epidemic and the glamorization of everything Gangsta.

However, the rates are still twice as high as they were in the 1960s, when there was a generation which truly *did* eschew violence.

You also are suckered in by not looking at rates since 2000, which have remained fairly stable (until THIS year), instead of Free-falling as you put it, and you have failed to realize that crime has NOT been decreasing in the Black communities in the same way as it has in white communities.

You also ignore how much higher the crime rate is in Black communities, compared to that of white communities, which has NOT changed.

In terms of Victimization, Blacks have remained around 16% of the Murder Victims ever since the 1990s spike, but they represent a much higher proportion of Offenders.

Quote: “ The percentage of young black male homicide offenders also increased rapidly from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, going from 17% in 1985 to 35% by 1993 before declining. By 2008, young black males made up about a quarter of all homicide offenders (27%)”

Over 2700 people have been shot in Chicago *this Year*…which is a dramatic increase over the past few years.

Name a white community where 2700 people have been shot this year.

There is a huge disparity in the experience and commission of crimes among Black people, compared to the white population.

People need to stop sweeping that under the carpet and stop pretending that it has everything to do with white racism and nothing to do with attitudes in “popular” Black culture towards verbal and physical aggression and respect for other people’s property and lives.

I can’t tell you who invented the term “Bitch-slapping” but I can sure tell you who helped to spread the abuse it connotes and condones and promotes by its very acceptance: popular Black culture, which, of course, every young white person is encouraged to copy because Hip Hop, Jay Z and Rihanna are so very, very cool (“99 Problems and a Bitch ain’t One”; “Bitch better gimme my money”).

Maybe you forgot that “It’s hard out here for a Pimp, when you’re trying to make the money for the rent” (Academy Award winning song about a Pimp who makes women turn tricks and beats them so he can become self-actualized as a Rapper).

By the way: Blacks kill two white people every year for every Black person killed by a white person. How’s that for reparations?
