The Color of Racism and Violence

I have tried to refrain from writing this blog for 2 reasons.   First, I am not sure whether it is read or, if so, how many people do read it.  And second, the more I think about the racial double standards, double speak, and double binds rampant in America, the more exasperated I become.

Every once in a while I find myself starting to write, only to stop when the futility of it all gets the upper hand.  That said, in this era of George Zimmerman and the racial preoccupation attendant to it, I just had to post today.

Below are 2 direct quotes that typify the mindless, ubiquitous white bashing mostly done by whites, excoriating the paleface for his violent, virulent racism while never bothering to utter word one about the racism of other groups ( persons “of color”).

We conducted semistructured interviews with 38 participants in White racist Internet chat rooms, examining the extent to which people would, in this unique environment, advocate interracial violence in response to purported economic and cultural threats. Capitalizing on the anonymity and candor of chat room interactions, this study provides an unusual perspective on extremist attitudes. We experimentally manipulated the nature and proximity of the threats. Qualitative and quantitative analyses indicate that the respondents were most threatened by interracial marriage and, to a lesser extent, Blacks moving into White neighborhoods. In contrast, job competition posed by Blacks evoked very little advocacy of violence. The study affords an assessment of the advantages and limitations of Internet-based research with clandestine populations.

1 in 4 Youths with Assault Injury Owns a Gun

Urban youth who land in the emergency department from assault-related injuries often own guns and exhibit other risks for further violence, a study showed. Read more

The bonehead white authors quoted above suffer from terminal self -loathing and insufferable ignorance.  If they extracted their heads from their rectums long enough to read FBI statistics, they would discover what I have directly quoted below:

Arrests, by Race, 2011                  

The percentages of white adults and black adults arrested for murder were similar, with 48.2 percent being white, and 49.4 percent being black.

Juveniles who were black accounted for 51.4 percent of juvenile arrests for violent crimes.

According to 2012 census data, whites comprise 63% and blacks 12.3% of the United States population.  So why do black adults account for 49.4 % of murder arrests and black juveniles account for 51.4 %?  Must be white racism causing the violence, most of which is “black on black.”

Finally, why does MedPage Today picture a white “urban youth” when a majority of many inner-city neighborhoods are black?  Consider the following statistic listing the black population percentages for ten majority black cities:

Detroit, Mich.              82.7%

Jackson, Miss.             79.4%

Miami Gardens, Fla.    76.3%
Birmingham, Ala.         73.4%

Baltimore, Md.             63.7%

Memphis, Tenn.           63.3%

New Orleans, La.         60.2%

Flint, Mich.                  56.6%

Montgomery, Ala.        56.6%

Savannah, Ga.             55.4%

I’ll let you guess the levels of violent crime rates in those majority black cities. 

The United States President, Barack Hussein Obama, sets the current tone of race preoccupation and finger pointing when he intrudes into the arrest of his buddy, Henry Louis Gates by calling police "stupid" and into the shooting of Trayvon Martin by saying, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.  When have we ever seen a president so racially manipulative of our justice system?
