The Inconvenient Facts of Black Racism
In one recent year, the FBI recorded 1.7 million violent acts — murder, manslaughter, rape, and aggravated assault — of interracial crime. Of that figure, nearly 1.2 million involved black-white crime. Ninety percent of these cases involved a black perpetrator and a white victim. Thus, blacks, while comprising 12 percent of the population, committed over one million acts of violent crime against whites. On the other hand, whites, while comprising 70 percent of the population, committed about 100,000 acts of violent crime against blacks.Look at hate crime. In 1995, the FBI recorded 7,947 incidents of hate crimes. But blacks, again while comprising 12 percent of the population, committed 27 percent of hate crimes. Whites, 70 percent of the population, committed 59 percent of hate crimes. And of the nearly one million black violent acts against whites, how many were driven by racial animus?Sphere: Related ContentDuring the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Damien “Football” Williams assaulted white trucker Reginald Denny. Williams clearly targeted Denny because of his race, even allowing a black motorist to proceed unharmed. But despite hate-crime laws on the books, authorities never charged Williams with a hate crime.
Similarly, when a group of black teenagers assaulted then raped the so-called “Central Park Jogger,” few called the assault a “hate crime.” Instead, many called the attack a case of “wilding,” a practice where a practice where youths go on a rampage.
Are the majority of blacks racist? Of course not, no more so than are the majority of whites. The point here is perspective. When blacks condemn white bigotry, we must be equally vigilant about black bigotry.

Black racism is alright Zee, in face as long as it’s not whitey doing the hating, it’s just fine. Makes liberals feel good, relieves them of their guilt that White folks have actually built better countries around the planet. Unless off course it’s one of them who is the victim.
