How about the stats that show African Americans are disproportionally arrested and convicted of crimes? Or how about Stats that normalize around socioeconomic background?

  • Playing Devil's Advocate here, but for the sake of factual correctness, I don't think that would support black-on-black violence.

  • I'm confused, why is black on black crime being referenced? All I tried to do was point out that OP was leaving out information.

  • Black-on-black murder (although OP's 93% seems a bit far-fetched so I'm doubting it) would not affected by a broken justice system.

  • Ahh, I get it. I could argue that most murders are between people in the same ethnicities, and that the socioeconomic factor still plays a role, but I get what you are saying.

  • Still really depends on that 93%. I'm calling BS on it, though. Statistics never come that close to 100% in real life.

  • He said socioeconomic circumstance. If you live in an impoverished area where lots of people get into the drug trade, of course a lot of people are going to get killed.
