New York Times: <\/p>\n
Over all, though, nearly three-fourths of victims and suspected assailants whose race could be identified were black. Some experts suggest that helps explain why the drumbeat of dead and wounded does not inspire more outrage. \u201cClearly, if it\u2019s black-on-black, we don\u2019t get the same attention because most people don\u2019t identify with that. Most Americans are white,\u201d said James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University in Boston. \u201cPeople think, \u2018That\u2019s not my world. That\u2019s not going to happen to me.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Normally I tend to blow off suggestions that mass media (music, movies,video games) amplifies violence but I have a hard time doing that now, particularly with rap music. Despite the left\u2019s attempts to portray most of this genre as subtle and brilliant art, a huge percentage of it revolves around crude boasts about money, drugs\/drinking, promiscuity, and violence.<\/p>\n
It appears to me that lots of young black men and boys essentially model their behavior after the archetypical character in a rap song. In fact, it\u2019s common too see some young black guy with headphones on walking down the street or standing at the bus stop rapping along with his favorite song complete with the gestures and expressions of the rapper in the music video, as if he\u2019s trying to be that character. I don\u2019t see white hipsters doing that while listening to the latest Wilco or even high schoolers play-acting to the soundtrack of teen pop music.<\/p>\n
Obviously, the way people dress or act can be a reflection of their cultural influences of the moment, and I just as often silently laugh at the white kids who spend hours cultivating a look that is supposed to look careless, but guys with greasy hair, beards, and retro clothing or messenger bags style aren\u2019t going to get wound up about some perceived slight and start shooting at a party or bar. In contrast, those that consciously mimic rap culture very well might.<\/p>\n
* Most shootings with four deaths or injuries are invisible outside their communities. And most of the lives they scar are black.<\/em><\/p>\n
Maybe the New York Times could explain why those who might want to read about black-on-black and black-on-white crime have to read the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
BTW, 2Kevins w\/ Grace & Steele did good in-depth takedown<\/a> of Jill Leovy\u2019s book in the latter half of episode 36 0f their podcast. Leovy describes how appalling things are in the black \u201ccommunity,\u201d but in the end assigns all responsibility for dealing with it to whites.<\/p>\n
* Black people don\u2019t kill black people because of racism, poverty, economic inequality, lack of opportunity. Rather those things are symptoms, not causes; they occur for the SAME REASON as black violence: low IQ, low impulse control, low concept of future, low grasp of cause and effect, low investment in family and society, low character and, oh yes, low IQ. To make it worse, they\u2019ve been told by liberal fools and scoundrels for two generations that nothing is their fault, it\u2019s all The System. Did I mention low IQ?<\/p>\n
* This reminds me of Ta-Genius Coates\u2019 appearance at an Aspen panel. When someone pointed out that far more African-Americans are killed in intra-black violence than police shootings, he said \u201cyeah, but it feels different [when you hear someone is killed by the police].\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s bad to be worried about Islamic terrorism or black-on-white crime, because, hey, it\u2019s a country of >300 million people, of course you can drudge up some examples if all you do is worry about it. Clearly, objective perusal of the data shows that those are relatively small risks to the ordinary American. Fears about them are exaggerated, due to racial\/cultural hysteria against the perpetrators. But it\u2019s good to be extremely worried about white police officers\u2014or, sorry, police officers Who Must Believe They Are White\u2014shooting black suspected criminals\u2014or, sorry, Innocent Black Baby Bodies\u2014because even if it\u2019s a rounding error compared to heart disease, black-on-black crime or auto accidents it\u2019s the principle of the thing, not the actual risk, that counts.<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, it\u2019s somewhat hilarious that after being attacked by black criminals, Matt Yglesias and Brian Beutler shrug it off as Shit Happens, but egg on blacks to tell everyone how they constantly fear their Black Bodies being destroyed because they once had a tense encounter with the cops.<\/p>\n
As Steve would say, it comes down to \u201cWho is overtaking whom?\u201d<\/p>\n
* It is much safer to live around poor whites than middle and upper class blacks.<\/p>\n
For instance:<\/p>\n
Prince George\u2019s County, MD<\/p>\n
Median household income $72,052
\nMedian home value $247,600<\/p>\nBlack Non-Hispanic Alone (63.5%)
\nHispanic or Latino (14.9%)
\nWhite Non-Hispanic Alone (14.9%)
\nAsian alone (4.0%)<\/p>\nMurder Rate 146<\/p>\n
Kanawha County, West Virginia<\/p>\n
Median Household Income $46,325
\nMedian Home Value $107,000<\/p>\nWhite Non-Hispanic Alone (88.6%)
\nBlack Non-Hispanic Alone (7.2%)
\nAsian alone (1.0%)<\/p>\nMurder Rate 18<\/p>\n
* My gf & I went to Target last night. Only two registers were open and there was about ten people waiting in a single line. Thus in the very from register no one was directly waiting. This young black girl with her daughter walks up feigns like she is asking if the register is available. As she is doing this another cashier opens up their register & she pounces. Seeing this I called her out. She calls me a \u201cfag**t\u201d & that she\u2019ll meet me outside. I respond that\u2019s how you talk in front of your daughter?<\/p>\n
They have little couth, civility or self-control and when they\u2019re in the ghetto incidents like these happen routinely & end in violence. The underclass blacks really do need a firm hand guiding their every move. They aren\u2019t fit for modern society.<\/p>\n
* I have been involved in competitive shooting for 20 years, and shot in national events for the last twelve. Among the thousands and thousands of shooters I have encountered over that period of time, I can literally count the number of blacks on one hand.<\/p>\n
Competitive shooting is, above all else, a game of extreme, Zen-like mental focus. It requires a significant attention to detail in terms of equipment and environmental conditions. I would liken the attitude of the competitive shooter to that of a professional pilot \u2014 all business, which includes a positively anal emphasis on safety.<\/p>\n
Blacks do not generally possess these traits. Consequently, the competitive shooting community is 99.9+ percent white. I believe that blacks are genetically hard-wired to have less impulse control than whites, and that this attribute explains black success in pursuits that require spontaneous behavior, like basketball and bebop jazz, but it also explains a LOT of senseless black criminality and the ease with which blacks routinely just grab a gun and shoot wildly after the slightest provocation.<\/p>\n
Competitive shooters, many of whom have fired hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, would never do anything like that.<\/p>\n
The problem with impulsive black shootings is that they are being used politically to justify infringements on the freedoms of millions of sober, responsible, self-sufficient whites. Perhaps the Founders were right \u2014 all of them believed that blacks were incapable of functioning in a free society, and that blacks would be better off if they were emancipated and then repatriated to Africa.<\/p>\n
* The Constitution and the 2nd Amendment was written for white people. A different sort of government may work better for black people. But I don\u2019t want to change the Constitution to make it more suitable for black people (generally speaking) but less suitable for white people (again generally speaking).<\/p>\n

BlackLiesMatter \u2013 Activist Group Leader Arrested For Sex Trafficking,<\/p>\n
The Daily Caller obtained a police report stating that Wade was picked up in a College Park police sting after cops responded to a backpage.com ad from a woman who claimed to be 23, offering sexual services at an area Howard Johnson hotel.<\/p>\n
When police arrived and confronted the woman, who turned out to be 17, she identified Wade, who had been watching from the parking lot, as her \u201cmanager\u201d named \u201cCJ.\u201d The police then arrested Wade who, according to the report, had rented the hotel room and was carrying three cell phones.<\/p>\n
According to the police report, the woman told police that \u201cCJ\u201d knew she was underage and \u201cwasn\u2019t worried\u201d because she\u2019d turn 18 in a few months. She told investigators that she provided CJ with all of the money she made in her endeavors.<\/p>\n
* Seems like there is a huge potential competitive advantage for a gang that invests even a tiny amount of time and money in teaching its shooters how to shoot. Not sure whether it\u2019s a good or bad thing that none of them have figured this out.<\/p>\n
* Attributing black gun violence to early 90\u2032s \u201cgangsta\u201d rap is fundamentally wrongheaded, for a couple of reasons:<\/p>\n
1. \u201cGangsta\u201d rap doesn\u2019t happen in a vaccuum. It\u2019s an aesthetic incarnation of a thing that\u2019s happening previous to its pop-cultural incarnation (i.e., Biggie isn\u2019t putting something in a song because it happened in another song he heard, it\u2019s par for the course in an already extant cultural environment).<\/p>\n
2. Black youth in 2016 ain\u2019t listening to \u201990\u2032s shit. Popular rap today is in a much different state than it was in the \u201990\u2032s and even the early 2000\u2032s (which is peak moron in the history of hip hop (though it produced some really enjoyable, although admittedly retarded, music)). There\u2019s a Chicago rap scene that\u2019s broadly representative of the violent environs of the city but popular rap (read: rap that young black people actually listen to) is more in line with Drake\/Kanye abstraction than Wu-Tang or Geto Boys street violence.<\/p>\n
* There is literally nothing to be done about Black on Black murders. Nothing. They have always been appallingly high as even WEB Dubois noted in his \u201cThe Philadelphia Negro\u201d which covered Black criminal behavior in Philly from 1800-1898. Written as a response to George Washington Carver, Dubois argues that Black people were innately more criminal even than the most deprived and criminal White immigrants in the same city and thus unable to win political power and equal rights under Segregation through economic advancement as Carver favored. Thus the Talented Tenth would agitate for White concessions and of course, pocket the majority of the goodies.<\/p>\n
Still the data in Dubois book is compelling. Leovy in her book conveniently overlooks the historical record in places like Philly, and the underlying dynamic which is sexual reproduction. Simply put Black women demand even greater A hole levels in their men, killers best of all. Every ghetto shooting of a baby, grandma, or other innocent gets the shooter laid that night. And thereafter.<\/p>\n
Fundamentally Black people don\u2019t WANT the violence to be greatly reduced \u2014 it would greatly reduce their fertility.<\/p>\n

\nBLOOD LETTING
\nRazor and Fence Paling Used.<\/p>\nPARIS, Tex., Dec. 28. There was a lively free fight among the colored barbers in the quarter known as Boardtown in which fence palings, walking canes and razors played a conspicuous part. Saturday night a negro named Brown who shaves colored people, picks a banjo and fights on very little provocation had a row with Silas Washington, who shaves white folks and wears good clothes. The thing passed off without loss of blood. Yesterday afternoon Silas and another barber named Jim Garnett were walking along the street that runs through Boardtown when they were met by Brown, who renewed the hostilities. A three-cornered fight ensued. Garnett had a cane, Washington had a paling and Brown a razor. After being thumped a few times by Garnett and Washington, Brown got in his work with his trusty razor and slashed Washington across the forehead, making an ugly gash, and cutting Garnett across the left wrist, cutting the leaders and arteries and inflicting a dangerous wound. Brown was arrested.<\/p>\n

\nSeptember 2, 1888<\/p>\nSERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY
\nTwo Brothers, Negroes, Carve and Slash Each Other.<\/p>\nDenton, Tex., Aug. 31. A serious difficulty occurred three miles northeast of the city last night at a negro dance, in which two darkies, John and Ed Crawford, were seriously carved with the old proverbial negro razor. It seems that Ed and John were brothers, but full of whisky, and, being rivals for the same damsel, a difficulty occurred, in which John drew his razor and cut his brother a fearful gash, almost severing one of his ribs; whereupon another darky named Bob Hagman, being possessed of a razor also, made a stroke at John and with tonsorial dexterity inflicted a gash across his face and throat about eight inches long. Both the carvers are lodged in the county jail and the two carved negroes are doing as well as could be expected. It is thought that both will recover.<\/p>\n

* One incident I recall from last summer was a retaliation-style mass shooting<\/b> in Detroit in which a dozen people were shot, one fatally, at a park.<\/p>\n
\n\nTwelve people were shot, one fatally, during a block party on a basketball court on Dexter and Webb St. on Detroit’s west side. Over 400 people were estimated to be in attendance at the Saturday night block party including children. The victims ranged from 19 to 47 years old. Forty-seven shots were fired from at least three guns<\/b> during what is being called a retaliation-style mass shooting, <\/p>\n
Police are looking for two suspects. One is described as a black male with light complexion in his twenties, and the other is described as a black male in his twenties with medium complexion… <\/p>\n
Police believe Jones, the deceased, might have been expecting a gun fight Saturday night. Why he would have placed himself at a party with hundreds of people, including children, in attendance was unclear, [black Detroit Police Chief James Craig] said…<\/p>\n
According to Craig, even those who were shot last night aren’t helping police track anyone down<\/b>…<\/p>\n
A woman claiming to be Jones’s sister stood across Dexter Avenue for most of Craig’s news conference. When a police officer crossed the street to speak with the woman, who had been talking to a reporter, the woman began yelling expletives and cursing the police.<\/p>\n
“(expletive) the police,” the woman screamed from across the street. She then began to walk quickly down the street, swearing and cursing the police the entire way.<\/p>\n
