![]() And it is notable that more murder victims are bludgeoned to death annually than killed by an "assault rifle," shotgun or other long guns combined.Ĭhattanooga's mayor, city council and police chief are trying to address some of the cultural issues related to violence, and we all hope they succeed. It is all political smoke and mirrors to obfuscate the reality that guns don’t commit homicide violent thugs do. That is not a "white supremacy" problem.Īs was the case in Nashville, when rare high-profile mass assaults occur, Democrats default to blaming guns as a diversionary distraction to avoid the politically inconvenient truth regarding the actual racial demographic of assailants responsible for the national epidemic of violent crime. Further, black assailants commit 90 percent of violent interracial crimes - and the young black males who committed most of those crimes represent less than 3 percent of the population. The most alarming data on murder is that the suspect in 88 percent of black murders is also black. Their assailants are not the police, not other whites, but other blacks.” Blacks between the ages of ten and twenty-four are murdered at twenty-five times the rate of whites between those same ages. The fact that black citizens are 13 percent of the population but their murder victim rate is 22 percent higher than for white victims should be the starting place for every meaningful conversation about resolving the racial disparity associated with violence.Ĭrime researcher Heather Mac Donald has compiled the data on black assailants: “Dozens of blacks are murdered every day, more than all white and Hispanic murder victims combined. If Democrats actually believed “black lives matter,” they would not propagate the failed urban policies that result in the proliferation of black-on-black violence. ![]() In fact, on almost any day, the total victim count of black-on-black and black attacks on people of other races far exceeds the death totals of any of the rare high-profile mass assaults.īut Democrat politicians studiously avoid any discussion of this data because it would require studious consideration of the policies that have created these conditions. Here is the inconvenient truth about that violence: A very high number of violent crimes nationwide are committed by black assailants, and black-on-black assault is the most prevalent violent crime in the nation. One result is metastasizing violence in urban centers, most of which have been under Democrat control for generations. ![]() Ahead of the upcoming Fathers Day, consider this: More than 30 percent of young people are growing up in homes without fathers, and for black children, that stat jumps to 67 percent. That is particularly true given the common denominator that most violent offenders grew up in fatherless homes. That culture problem is the direct result of generations of failed leftist social policies - most notably those enabling the disintegration of families. That reality is, violence is not a "gun problem” but a cultural problem, highly correlated with the Democrat's most loyal constituency, our black brothers and sisters in urban centers. But there is a harsh reality check regarding race and violence - a politically inconvenient truth that leftist politicians and their white-privilege benefactors avoid. No yard signs for them.Īll murders are horrendous. Fact is, more than 99.8 percent of all murders are not victims of a mass assault, and a grossly-disproportionate number of those victims are not white. It is unimaginable unless you are among the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have also endured the murder of a loved one. The attack at Covenant Church School by a sociopathic woman targeting Christians was horrendous, and the grief families of victims continue to suffer is unimaginable.
