Just to be clear, black interracial killings are NOT at a similar level to white interracial killings. The number that is similar is the percentage of killings that are done within the races. What's drastically different is the rates - for every 100,000 white people, 2.6 are murdered. For every 100,000 blacks, 18.3 are murdered.
So I would ask why are we killing each other at almost 9 times the rate. But I don't want to be labeled a "c00n".![]()

My bad, intraracial. But my point remains the same. These are absolutely contributing factors. But I notice that our community is failing hard at taking responsibility for things we are doing to ourselves. Even with the poor funding for many of the schools in our neighborhoods, the parents are not enforcing the importance of education on the youth. Better to get a degree from a sub par school than to not get one at all. I date a teacher who teaches at a predominantly black high school in Atlanta. She says the school during parent/teacher conference days is like a ghost town. This is the time when you go and find out how your child is doing. But the parents aren't even bothering. Are we supposed to blame Whitey for this too?I said intraracial, not interracial. The percents are similar in intra-racial.
The rates for the killings are higher among blacks for number of reasons. One obvious example is that poverty and poor funding for things such as education puts people on a poor path.
