From Accuracy In Media<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In 2013 alone, 49,851 officers were assaulted with firearms, knives and other weapons. Over the past 10 years, on average, 150 police officers have been killed in the line of duty every year. Fifty-seven of these were shot, stabbed, strangled or beaten. Of the 509 officers feloniously killed in the past 10 years, 46 percent of the perpetrators were black, despite their representing only 13 percent of the population. Do we call this a black war against the police?<\/p>\n

Critics also argue that blacks\u2019 40 percent share among U.S. prison populations is direct evidence of institutional racism (see table). In a color-blind society, they charge, incarcerated black populations would reflect their 13 percent share of the general population.<\/p>\n

However, if black crime rates were the guide, it would seem that blacks are, if anything, underrepresented in prison populations. The table below presents FBI data on homicide offenders. Blacks exceed all other groups in murders committed in 2013. In prior years it was actually worse.<\/p>\n

In 2007, the CDC broke out total homicide numbers and rates by age and race. The murder rate among blacks is similar to the rates in some of the most violent third-world nations (see below). No other racial or ethnic group comes close.<\/p>\n

Murders and Rates – Simpson Black Criminals, White Victims, and White Guilt<\/p>\n

The table below shows murder rates among males by age. Note that for 20 to 24-year-olds, the murder rate among blacks (109.4\/100,000) is 17 times higher than the rate for whites (6.4\/100,000). Among 15 to 19-year-olds, it is over 20 times higher. The average for all ages is 13 times higher.<\/p>\n

Finally, black-on-white crime is substantially greater than the reverse. The table below shows murders by race of offender and victim in 2013. Note that overall, blacks kill as often as whites, although blacks represent only 13 percent of the population. Note also that black-on-white murder is more than double the rate of white-on-black murder (409 to 189). Similar results were found for 2012, 2011, 2010 and prior years.<\/p>\n

If these rates were to hold, and the roles were reversed\u2014i.e., if blacks represented 64 percent of the population while whites comprised only 13 percent\u2014black-on-white murder would have exceeded 2,000 killings in 2013, while white-on-black murder would have resulted in only 39 deaths. The table also shows that for all races, most murders were committed by members of the same race. This is because criminal violence usually occurs within one\u2019s own community. Finally, in the other categories of violent crime\u2014rape, robbery and aggravated assault\u2014blacks consistently committed about 40 percent of the total in 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010.<\/p>\n

So the disproportionate arrests, incarcerations and shootings of blacks should come as no surprise. Their 40 percent representation among the prison population fairly reflects the proportion of crimes committed by blacks in the U.S. This is not evidence of institutional racism, but rather a social pathology evident within the black community. They have been committing crimes at the highest rate by far of any racial\/ethnic group for decades. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
