(6,801 posts)let's say 90% of black people are killed by other blacks. And 10% are killed by non-blacks. Roughly accurate, but I'm not going to go to war over those exact numbers.
Either way let's say then that 100% of that 10% are white people killing blacks because they hate that entire race.
Ok, so what does that prove? Nothing really. 100% of 10% is still just 10%, a pretty tiny fraction of the overall.
A black person is still 9x more likely to be killed by another black person than by a white person (which is even more out of proportion when you consider how many more whites there are in this country than blacks. It would make sense, statistically, in say South Africa, but not here).
And since we only seem to care when the perp is white that means that 9 out of 10 black people who die violently in this country are tacitly deemed to be acceptable casualties.
