Blacks Kill Blacks - Part 2

By Patrick Hall

It’s an ongoing calamity of murderous numbers.  Here are some current statistics: Black Lives Matter, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the “Magnificent Deception” himself, Barrack Hussein Obama, choose to downplay in favor of the tiresome trope, that blacks murdering blacks can be laid at the foot of systemic racism.

According to just-released FBI and Department of Justice statistics in 2019, there were 7484 black homicides. The vast majority of these murders were blacks killing other blacks.  In 2020, black murderers managed to outdo themselves, tailing 9913 homicides. Just as a comparison about 7000 U.S.  service members have died in the post-9/11 war on terrorism.

Once again, there is an ongoing war in many black urban communities, that exceeds the deaths of American soldiers, who have given their lives in defense of freedom, that many of us take for granted as we shop at Wal-Mart or ruminate on such weighty issues as transgenderism, the complexities of non-binary cisgender individuals, pronoun clarity, critical race theory alchemy, or current attacks on rich black comedians.

Yet the black Democratic Political class refused to address the breakdown in civil society, that has taken place in Post-Civil Rights America. Let me be blunt. We have a lot of young black men, who are simply not “civilized.” Similar to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein monster, the black underclass has gestated individuals who have not been taught morality, empathy, or restraint. They are monster-like because their oftentimes fatherless, welfare-dependent homes have furnished them with only “wants and needs” without any real sense of morality. They have extremely strong feelings without a corresponding sense of responsibility. So, mayhem, chaos, and crime become their guardian and teacher. They “cry havoc” on their black brethren or anyone else that stumbles into their nightmare.
 
I suspect the soul-less murders of 19 children and their teachers in Uvalde are a terrifying reminder that these monsters exist in all groups.
 
Here is another stat to keep in mind. Members of any race or ethnic group tend to murder their own. What is stomach-turning is, that black Americans making up only 13% of the United States population are responsible for 53% of all homicides nationwide. What is more alarming is that most of these black murderers are mostly male. Black females make up an extremely small percentage of homicides.

Black Lives Matter…. especially to the Police

Shots ring out in an inner-city neighborhood. Moments later, police units go racing towards the violence that too often plagues cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Seattle, and Philadelphia.   The police respond to this violence, not out of acrimony or some latent animus.  But as law enforcement officials, whose job it is to protect and serve all people from criminals, no matter the color.  
 
The police are the first ones who run toward danger in inner-city neighborhoods. They leave their families and friends each day risking their lives, not to make a sport of shooting blacks. No, just the opposite.  Politicians like Maxine Waters (D-CA), Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), race hustler and chief advisor to former President Barrack Obama on matters of race, Al Sharpton, BLM, and the Congressional Black Caucus are people who’ve done little to nothing to stop the epidemic of black-on-black murder.  
 
The police are the ones who truly believe and put their lives on the line to save black people from the thugs and monsters, that prey on them. The secular heresy of police brutality, which is obligatory in the talking points of far too many black politicians and the pseudo-intellectual class, has inadvertently made many urban communities less safe for the very residents that the Liberal Progressive class claims to care about. It has caused hesitation within law enforcement, as they tried to protect the majority of urban residents from urban predators.
Whether it be in Rochester, New York in 1969, East St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, or Milwaukee Wisconsin today, the greatest threat to the health and well-being of blacks, is other black people.  As we know, video footage of this mayhem is looped repeatedly by the corporate media as well as NPR. However, there isn’t enough media footage to cover all of the violence, murder, robbery, and incivility that infest inner cities.
 
Here are some other gruesome statistics. From 1980 to 2013, 262,000 black males were killed in America. By contrast, roughly 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam. In the city of New Orleans alone, about 6,000 African American men have been murdered since 1980. In the vast majority of cases, the killers were other African Americans.  Police shootings of blacks during this same period (the vast majority of them justified) have been around 3,300.  If the black community and the political class representing them were honest, racist cops or “Biden’s white supremacists” are the least of their problems.  

A Personal Sidebar
 
Many of us have firearms in my working-class neighborhood, not to protect us from the police, but from criminals who happen to be black. People have Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers in their yards. Once again, not to protect us from rogue cops, but the black criminal element.  Security alarms, gated doorways, as well as a very active neighborhood watch program are all ubiquitous features of the neighborhood.  They are present, because black criminals are the danger, and not the police.
Onesie-Twosie??

As cited earlier, in 2020 there were 9913 black homicides. The majority of these murders were blacks’ killings of other blacks. However, what is hidden in statistics is that over 17% of these killings were individuals under the age of 15. Many of them were children, whose lives had been cut short because Black Lives Matter, (or what I call the Women of Color Racial Money Laundering Foundation, WCRMLF) and the NAACP were too busy chasing the specters of white supremacy and racist law enforcement. Of course, the senseless murders of children, that took place in Uvalde were beyond heartbreaking to many of us. However, when a seven-year-old was recently gunned down not far from my residence, his murder won't make the national news like the hundreds of other black children killed. After all, politicians and organizations like WCRMLF can’t do much with these individual murders. They need! They thrive or exist on the spectacular murderous light shows like Uvalde for their efficacy and political power.  
   
Once more, cops are not the murderous racist boogeymen, as they are so often portrayed in the corporate media and NPR.  The police are the ones saving black lives. Whether they are busy patrolling high-crime housing projects, intervening to crackdown on the illicit drug trade, or just trying to stop the out-of-control thievery and riots (oftentimes misnamed a civil rights protest).   The Police through their actions and sacrifices live and uphold the popular refrain that Black-Lives-Matter.
