The Problems Are Real And Permanent
Take five minutes to complete the Poll on Exiling Blacks
Contrary to the assertion by organizations like sistahspace that "The Problems Are Real And Solveable", the data shows that the problems with American blacks are real and permanent. Over the last three decades, the murder rate in states like Iowa, Maine, and North Dakota have averaged 1.4 per 100,000 population, which is one tenth that of states like Illinois, Lousiana, Maryland, or Mississippi, whose murder rates average 16. The most obvious distinguishing difference between these states is the higher percentage of blacks in those latter states:
If this were the only factor, which it's not, then the state to state data shows that the murder rate increases by one murder per 100,000 population for each 2% increase in the percentage of the population who are blacks. Where there was one murder in the state of North Dakota in 1994, a state with a black population of 4,001, there were 579 murders in Maryland which has a black population of 1,428,207. If Maryland had had a murder rate equivalent to North Dakota, then there would have been only 10 murders that year, which makes those blacks responsible for 569 of those murders, which is 41 murders per 100,000 blacks. This 30 fold higher murder rate of blacks than Whites is consistent with the "FBI, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-98", which shows that 55% of the homicides in the US are perpetrated by the 12% of the population who are blacks. If the 30 million blacks in the US in 1994 committed 55% of the 24,926 murders in 1994, or 13,709 of them, then blacks committed a nationwide average of 46 murders per 100,000 blacks. A distinguishing feature of this murder data is the consistently high rate of both murder and blacks in Washington, DC. Even though the population of our capitol city is only 517,206, it's the undisputed murder capitol of the world, with a murder rate 350 times higher than the mostly White North Dakota. The 399 murders committed in 1992 by only 325,840 blacks is 122 murders per 100,000 blacks. Illinois is another state with a high murder rate, with 1,378 murders in 1994 alone, which is 1,354 more murders than if they'd had a rate equivalent to North Dakota. With 1,839,744 blacks in Illinois, this is 74 murders per 100,000 blacks. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/datast.htm Is murder by blacks a fact of life which American Whites must accept as the penalty for permitting blacks to live in our midst, or is it something that must be avoided at all costs? Over the last 4 decades, blacks have murdered almost 400,000 fellow Americans, and the fact that 64,400 of the people they murdered were Whites means that black Americans are 10 times more deadly to us than Osama Bin Ladin has been in his lifetime, IF he's 100% guilty as charged.

Since 1964 approximately half of the violent crime committed each year in the United States is attributable to young black males, who represent less than 3 percent of the total population. In 1992 the violent crime rate for blacks was the highest ever recorded by National Crime Victimization Survey. That year, for example, the homicide rate for black males between the ages of twelve and twenty-four was 114.9 per 100,000, nearly ten times the rate for white males of the same ages and fourteen times the national average.

Jones. To his right, C.J.'s mother placed a black and yellow ribbon on the site where the body of the 17-year-old African American was found 10 months before. Once the cameras stopped rolling, Burton, a spokesman for Families Advocating Safe Streets (FASS), an organization of clergy, concerned citizens and African American support groups, gave the assembled press corps a piece of his mind. He angrily contrasted the lack of attention from the St. Louis media at the time of Jones' murder with the week of headlines that followed the abduction and murder of a 22-year-old white woman eight months later.

He's a gangsta rap video star and he's listened to by millions of children and young people. The impossible
dilemma - America has a violent crime problem.
It is, to a substantial degree, concentrated in this country's central cities. And black
Americans, disproportionately concentrated in these dangerous environments, bear its
brunt. In 1992, black males 12 to 19 years old were 25 percent more likely to be victims
of crime than whites of their age group. Young black females (largely as the result of
sexual assault) were 70 percent more likely than their white counterparts. The murder rate
among black youths (persons under age 20), which was already three times that of white
youths in 1986, doubled in the five years between 1986 and 1991, while the white rate
remained unchanged. In Philadelphia, Princeton political scientist John DiIulio reports,
there were eighty-nine murders of people under age 20 in 1994. All but five of the victims
were nonwhite. TIME FOR BLACK AMERICANS TO ASSUME A CRIME "VICTIM" MENTALITY - The words coming from the TV screen left me temporarily numb, but I had to face the fact that they were true: young black men are the most dangerous group in America. Coroner: Disturbing Pattern In County Homicides - Homicide continues to claim more Black males than any other victims in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, despite stop-the-violence outreach programs specifically targeting their demographic group. Black-On-Black Crime- A recent columnist in Marin's daily, pushing either a racist or a witless liberal guilt trip agenda, whined that blacks are only 12 percent of the U.S. population but they comprise over half the population on Death row in our nation's prisons. He apparently never bothered to research the subject. If he had, he would have learned that although they are only 12 percent of the population, the most recent (1995) FBI report on arrest data indicates that of offenders for whom race was known, blacks committed some 53 percent of our murders, nearly half our rapes, 59 percent of our robberies, and 38 percent of aggravated assaults. Those percentages have been more or less consistent over the past decade. Most of that was black-on-black crime.

Homicide - A deadly epidemic rages among young African American males African American males are less than seven percent of Michigan's population- but almost 60 percent of the state's homicide victims. Most of the victims are young. In Michigan as in the nation as a whole, the homicide rates for African American males at all ages exceed those for their counterparts in other racial groups. The endangerment of African American men: an appeal for social work action - We live in a nation strained by racism, hostility, and hatred. Our communities and neighborhoods are overcome by violence, fear, and apathy. Our homes, which were once considered safe havens, have now become the sites of increasing acting out of frustration and anger. Due to inequities, oppressive conditions, and uncontrollable stresses, individuals are turning against themselves, their loved ones, and others to vent their feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.

Over 600,000 Americans are victimized in handgun crimes each year, and our minority communities are the hardest hit: The real face of homicide - At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 20, a motorist was preparing to merge onto 38th street near the 4000 block of White River Parkway when he noticed a small fire just north of his location.

The body was later identified as that of 30 year-old Matthew Grady. We have to look inward when it comes to some moral issues - New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman has recently become caught in the center of a public controversy for saying what many of us who are African American have been saying for some time: Too many young Black males are creating babies and then do not take the responsibility to care for them.
