• Over the past 35 years in America, an estimated 324,000 blacks have been killed at the hands of fellow blacks, proving "racist" white cops are the least of their worries.
By Pete Papaherakles --
There is now no doubt that Michael Brown was rightfully killed in self-defense by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. The grand jury conclusively decided this was the case, and all the evidence confirms that decision. Yet most of the media, blinded black leaders and liberals still try to make the case that the biggest problem today in America is white cops killing innocent black males. This myth has been repeated over and over again, but, according to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, blacks have more to fear from fellow blacks than they do from police officers across the country.
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani was excoriated by the mainstream media for citing statistics that prove white cops killing black males is minor compared to the thousands who are killed every year by other blacks.
During an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" on November 23, Giuliani told blacks who were accusing white police of killing them that "white police officers wouldn't be there if you weren't killing each other."
Giuliani pointed out that "93% of blacks are killed by other blacks."
After the other talk-show guest, Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson, questioned that statistic, Giuliani responded by citing another figure from a 2010 Bureau of Justice Statistics report that did, indeed, conclude that 93% of black homicide victims from 1980 through 2008 were killed by black offenders.
This reporter took a look at the 2007 U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics report. In that study, the agency reported that blacks were victims of 7,999 homicides in 2005. It corroborated Giuliani's claim that 93% of blacks were killed by other blacks, or about 7,440 murders in that year alone.
A six-year FBI study conducted between 2007 and 2012 found that, on average, local police forces kill 400 people every year in America. Of those, only 96, or 25%, involved blacks killed by white police officers.
It is worth noting that, according to the nonprofit New Century Foundation, of the nearly 1 million violent crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites in America, blacks commit 85% and whites commit 15%.
Faced with an overwhelming lack of evidence to support their claims, rather than concede the myth of white cops killing black males the liberal media went after the FBI, claiming the agency lacked transparency.
Eventually, a Wall Street Journal analysis uncovered that, "hundreds of homicides by law enforcement agencies in the U.S. between 2007 and 2012 are not included in FBI records."
The Journal analyzed "the latest data from 105 of the country's largest police agencies," and "found more than 550 police killings during those years were missing from the national tally or, in a few dozen cases, not attributed to the agency involved. The result: It is nearly impossible to determine how many people are killed by the police each year."
Assuming this discrepancy is correct, the adjusted yearly death tally would rise to 492 police killings per year, bringing the number of blacks killed by white police officers per year in the U.S. to 105.
Putting these figures in perspective then, for every black killed by a white police officer in the U.S. every year, there are about 71 blacks killed by other blacks.
Worse, if you take--on average--9,252 black-on-black murders every year for the past 35 years, you arrive at a staggering 323,820 blacks killed by other blacks on America's mean streets in just three-and-a-half short decades.
The problem, of course, is that this grim statistic will never be mentioned by Al Sharpton, the liberal media or any of the other race baiters out there, who are busy pointing the finger at racist white policemen killing "innocent, unarmed black children."
By the way, last year 105 policemen were killed in the line of duty. This year 112 have been killed to date. That's more than the number of blacks killed by white policemen, yet Sharpton sheds no tears for any of them.
