Why Is No One Talking About Black Violence? – These People Are Burning Down Their Own Neighborhoods.

L Todd Wood / Western Journalism

Did you know that approximately half of the victims of homicide in this country are African American?  Did you know that the number one cause of death for black males from ten to twenty-four is homicide?  Did you know that over half of the homicide offenders in this country are black and that most black people are killed by another black person?  Did you know that young blacks make up about sixteen percent of the youth population but account for over half of juvenile violent crime arrests?  Well, I have one more question.  With what is happening in Ferguson, why is our national leadership not talking about these statistics?

Irrespective of whether or not the investigation finds that the police officer was guilty in Michael Brown’s death, the real problem it seems is the culture of black violence.  If the leadership of this country wants to help young black males, then they need to have a conversation about this subject.  If this police officer is guilty, he will be punished according to the law; but young blacks will continue to commit an overly high level of crimes and will continue to be killed by their own race.
