Interracial Crime: Media-driven versus Statistical Realities

The much-hyped “black killed by whites” stories sold to us over the past several years by the media and Race Industry have been either outright lies or grossly misreported.

Trayvon Martin – February 26, 2012, Sanford, Florida

Truth: “knockout game gone wrong”

History: Martin was found in school to be in possession of burglary tools and stolen jewelry, and had multiple suspensions from school. 

Extenuating circumstances: An elevated level of THC was found in his blood, from marijuana, plus he was in possession of the ingredients of his other favorite intoxicant — “purple drank” or “lean” —t o which he referred in numerous Facebook postings.

George Zimmerman, the man who defended himself against Martin, is Hispanic, of mixed European and Peruvian heritage. 

Lie: The lie was that Zimmerman initiated contact and attacked Martin, when multiple witnesses testified and the evidence showed that Martin accosted Zimmerman and sucker-punched him; knocking him to the ground, where he repeatedly punched him and smashed his head into the concrete.

Eric Garner – July 17, 2014, Staten Island, NY

Truth: Police were ordered to prioritize stopping the sale of untaxed cigarettes (a legal substance) by Marxist mayor Bill de Blasio.  (Arresting undercover officers Daniel Pantaleo and Justin Damico had been instructed by their precinct command to target for special scrutiny such “conditions” as “drug use, public intoxication and illegal cigarette sales.” Note: Such prioritization of “illegal cigarette sales” for police attention would come from the mayor’s office, which oversees the NYPD. The police brass themselves would have no reason to arbitrarily focus on the protection of tax revenue on their own. That command would have to come from above.)

History: Garner possessed a long rap sheet, with multiple convictions.

Extenuating circumstances: Garner was a morbidly obese man (estimates vary from 350 to 400 pounds), who died due to airway constriction from being forced to lie on his stomach while several officers pressed their weight into his back while effecting his arrest. But he was clearly alive and speaking after Pantaleo released his arm from around Garner’s neck area, and the autopsy stated that there was no “damage (to) his windpipe or neck bones” from the pressure applied to his neck. 

Conclusion: Cops took the blame for New York City’s targeting of tabacco tax offenders. The total amount of tax on each pack of cigarettes is $6.86 in New York City; including city ($1.50), state ($4.35), and federal ($1.01).

Michael Brown – August 9, 2014, Ferguson, Missouri

Truth: “suicide by cop”

History: Brown was affiliated with the Bloods gang, and is said by sources within the local police department to have had numerous arrests as a juvenile. However, his juvenile record has not yet been released.

Extenuating circumstances: Brown was high on marijuana at the time of his death.

Lie: The lie was that the “Gentle Giant” had his hands in the air, surrendering to the officer, when the evidence and multiple eyewitnesses testified that the 6’4” 300-pound Brown turned and rushed at the officer with his head down, for a football-style tackle. (This, after Brown punched the officer in the face, grabbed at his gun, and caused two rounds to be fired as he struggled for the gun — while the officer sat in his patrol car.)

Freddie Gray – April 12, 2015, Baltimore, Maryland

Preliminary evidence: died from a broken neck while alone in a police van, which a witness within the van suggested might have been self-inflicted, though he subsequently walked that back after having been threatened in his neighborhood.

History: Gray has a long rap sheet, with multiple convictions especially for narcotics, including a two-year stint in prison.

Extenuating circumstances: A source within the local police said that both heroin and marijuana were found in his blood, but the toxicology report has not yet been released. The six police officers charged in his death are: three white officers and three African Americans.

Conclusion: We are awaiting the autopsy and full police report, but Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, channeling Mike Nifong’s political overcharging in the Duke lacrosse hoax, already concluded that Gray “suffered a critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained’’ inside the police van.  Thus, determining both cause and effect in an obvious, temporary sop to the lynch mob that has paralyzed Baltimore since his death. And in contradiction of what was told by the other prisoner in the van, Donta Allen, who suffered no injury during the ride and reported that he heard banging inside the van, on the side where Gray was seated, apparently alone.

But more importantly: Why do we know their names? In other words, the Race Hustlers have the country obsessively focused on anecdotes. We know the names of blacks killed by whites, Hispanics, and police of all races because there have been so few. And it is because there have been so few, and because the drive-by media and other Marxists obsess over these deaths and the resultant media-fueled violence, that we therefore have memorized their names to heart.

But few will talk about the statistics. How many blacks do whites kill? How many whites do blacks kill?

FBI statistics show that 13.2% of the population (African Americans/blacks) are identified and arrested for committing 52.2% of all U.S. murders and cases of nonnegligent manslaughter. And if you factor murders committed by whites (45.3% of murders committed by 77.7% of the population), blacks are therefore 6.8 times more likely to commit murder as whites.

What cannot be analyzed by these statistics is the number of murders of blacks by whites and vice versa. The FBI does not record murders by victim’s race. But no one could argue that whites murder blacks at a higher rate than blacks murder whites, given that blacks are 6.8 times as likely to murder overall.

Yet neither President Obama nor his longtime consigliere, former Attorney General Eric Holder who famously said that we are “a nation of cowards” when it comes to “race related issues” that “continue to divide us,” will speak of these statistics.

Instead, the Race Industry cherry-picks violent incidents that they can exploit and then falsify as a narrative, to make it appear that blacks nationwide are under constant assault by racist whites. Especially white cops. They isolate a given anecdote and then speak as if it were the rule not the exception, for their political and financial gain.

In the “painfully” honest words of the old race hustler himself, Jesse Jackson, speaking about race and violent crime: “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Meanwhile, these false anecdotes have created lynch mobs across the country, making every city the equivalent of the small Alabama town in To Kill a Mockingbird. Only this time it’s blacks and leftists seeking targets for their manufactured grievances, often destroying innocent people and property in their frenzy.
