Right here in the USA.
Our crime statistics show the greatest threat to a young black male is another young black male. Look at the Chicago shooting stats every weekend.
Dig deep into gun deaths and you will see that is young men if color shooting andurdering each other in gang and criminal contexts that accounts for most of the deaths.
And yet the media can only rise to care about gun deaths when it is white children being murdered. That shows their real values.
- p1esk 4y agoI wouldn’t use the word “genocide” in this context, unless you think what happens to young black men in US is similar to what happened in Rwanda.
- fwungy 4y agoWhat do you call a murder rate of 81.7/100000 for black men aged 15-24? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0021934719895999&ved=2ahUKEwj7ovjK9-v8AhXhKEQIHdIOCZ8QFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0vlA-hSenrppHXrcz9wmdt https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...
- p1esk 4y agoTo me, a murder rate of 94000/100000 is a genocide, and 81.7/100000 is not.
- fwungy 4y agoMore black men are murdered in the US than white men. But whites outnumber blacks by at least 4:1. Call it whatever you like, but acknowledge that this is horrific. https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-race-ethnicity-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in...
- p1esk 4y agoSome young men face a tough choice - work at McDonalds for $8/hr, or work for a local gang selling drugs on the streets. Yes, this choice in US is forced by society upon overwhelmingly black or latino men. But it is still a choice, and not every black man born in a poor neighborhood chooses a violent life of a gang member. I have zero sympathy for criminals who're killing each other. Have you tried comparing murder rates of innocent non-violent civilians across different races?
- mcphage 4y ago> the greatest threat to a young black male is another young black male And the greatest threat to a young white male is another young white male. Does that mean that there's a genocide of white men by white men?
- fwungy 4y agoYes, but the murder rate of young white men does not approach that of black men. More black men are murdered than white men as an absolute count, which is horrific considering that whites outnumber blacks by at least 4:1. Is it more racist to not talk about black on black violence, or to address it directly? Refusing to acknowledge the issue so we can tailor policy to save black lives is white privilege exemplified. https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-race-ethnicity-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in...
- fwungy 4y agoBlack people are people. Murder is bad. If black people are murdered out of proportion to all other races, by a wide margin, that's something that needs to be investigated. Down vote me racists.
