Someone on Twitter showed me this chart:
Did you realize murder was this segregated? That’s racism right there. Why won’t most white people and black people murder each other?
Not only do we need to get along better as races, but apparently we need to also be violent in a more open way — more comfortable killing people who aren’t like us. Or something.
Racism is confusing.
Since you are most likely to be killed by someone you know (which includes rival gang members) this just shows we need more integration.
@Rayfan87 – It is true that you are most likely to be killed by someone you know, but that’s only because they’re the ones who know you need killing.
… and the ones who know where you live.
Perhaps the Government can start an Affirmative Action program to get those numbers in line with their warped reality.
Look at the statistics on Lynchings. Way more White People have been lynched in this country than Black People.
“I’m sorry sir but we’ve reached the national limit on White on White murder however we do have some cap room, if you will pardon the pun sir, in the white on black category so you can go out and kill yourself a black person if you still feel the need to kill someone. Will that be satisfactory?”
Interesting.
Looking at the White half of the pie chart, only 8% of people murdered by Whites are Black, yet Blacks are 12% of the population.
Looking at the Black half, 16% of people murdered by Blacks are White. Yet Whites are 64% of the population.
Frank’s right. We need more interracial murders.
Black on black is orange, white on white is mauve, and they sliced it in the shape of a peace sign. This graph was obviously made by a white person and therefore not to be trusted.
but asians, hispanics and pacific islanders aren’t killing anyone! come on, do your part guys!
jw –
Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and whatever we’re calling American Indians this year aren’t being killed either! I think that I’m going to become Asian so that there’s no danger of my being killed.
Whoa, fellas. Let’s wait for the pie chart on who Godzilla kills before we all pick our races.
I think that’s a great idea. You all start and I’ll just watch from afar.
Eerie….resembles a “Peace Sign”.
What about T-Rex with Lasers on any of the races???
It’s good to see that all the other races, especially the made up ones, don’t murder anyone but once they finally get with the program, how are they going to know who to kill?
It’s wrong to kill people you don’t know.
Only Psycho serial killers and racists and bigots (oh my!) do that.
Damn Cat has it right – only kill people you know need killing, not people who just sort of look like or remind you of people you’ve heard might need killing.
(And don’t loot their stores or burn their neighborhoods, either!)
It’s important.
Why aren’t you showing the true meaning of the chart since the population varies between white and black???
The fact both sides added up to 50% looked too contrived so I dug up some source material (Bureau of Justice Statistics 1980-2008 was pretty close to the pie chart for 2007-2011) and compared it to a purely statisticall “non-racial” hypothesis (based on blacks at 13.5% of population and whites the remainder). The results were shocking. (BTW sorry for the lines but I was too tired to make a better chart after figuring this out. Math is hard.)
Victim–Perpetrator—Actual—“Non-racial”
Black—-White————-2.2%——-11.7%
Black—-Black————-43.9%——-1.8%
White —White————-45.3%——74.8%
White—-Black————–8.6%——–11.7%
The black on black homicide rate (second line) jumps out at over 24 times what it would be if we followed Franks suggestion which would eliminate this injustice. I hereby nominate Frank for the Nobel peace prize. (I can do that right?)
