http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1447171/ RESULTS Overall Trends From 1979 to 1997, the absolute annual number of homicides due to legal intervention was as high as 349 and as low as 237, averaging 289. From 1979 to 1988, there was a statistically significant decrease in the number of deaths due to legal intervention, with an average annual change of –4.5% (Table 1▶). During the period 1988 to 1997, the number of deaths due to legal intervention rose by an average of 0.7% per year, but this increase was not statistically significant. TABLE 1— Annual Percentage Change in Incidence of US Deaths Due to Legal Intervention, 1979–1997 The proportion of deaths due to legal intervention averaged 1.3% of all homicides from 1979 to 1997 (range = 0.9%–1.6%). The death rate due to legal intervention for all US citizens averaged 0.14 from 1979 to 1997 (Table 1▶). When deaths due to legal intervention were stratified by ICD-9 code according to cause of death, of the 3233 total deaths occurring from 1988 to 1997, the vast majority (3126, or 97%) were caused by firearms. Unspecified or other causes, including physical force, accounted for the remainder. This pattern differs somewhat from the observed distribution of weapons used when homicide from all causes is examined, in which case firearms account for about 65% to 70% of all deaths.3 Differentials by Sex, Race, and Age Of the 5486 total deaths due to legal intervention during the 19-year period 1979 to 1997, 5330 decedents (97%) were male. Whites accounted for 3447 deaths (63%), Blacks for 1885 deaths (34%), and “others” for 154 deaths (3%). When rates of death due to legal intervention were examined, striking variations by race and sex became apparent (Table 1▶). The average annual rates of death due to legal intervention were more than 27 times higher for men than for women. When mortality was stratified by race and sex, death rates of Black males on average were 4.7 times those of White males from 1979 to 1988 and averaged 3.2 times higher from 1988 to 1997 (ranges = 3.4–6.7 times and 2.6–5.0 times, respectively). When age-specific death rates for the period 1988 to 1997 were examined, mortality rates for both White and Black males were highest in the 20- to 24-year-old age group (Figure 1▶). This pattern roughly parallels the age distribution of death rates for homicides due to all causes, which peaks at 15 to 24 years.3Age-specific death rates among males for the period 1979 to 1989 exhibited similar trends.
http://harvardpublichealthreview.org/190/ For a current review: Seems like more Blacks are killed than Whites in the current time. If I read this correctly, it seems 0.94 blacks to every 0.3 Whites where killed in 2005.
"When mortality was stratified by race and sex, death rates of Black males on average were 4.7 times those of White males from 1979 to 1988 and averaged 3.2 times higher from 1988 to 1997 (ranges = 3.4–6.7 times and 2.6–5.0 times, respectively)." Fucking clickbait thread title...
LOL, Sorry... I did post the current study that shows a growing trend of more blacks than whites. Forgive me?

I bet white guys get shot once while black guys get shot 8 times. We cannot be oblivious to continuous harassment, restricted enterprise, and government handouts designed to keep people down.
Oh I didn't edit it. That is the total number of injuries and the second number was the country's population.
Why are whites to blame for these problems? Most don't vote for people that support this stuff. The Blacks and Hispanics do. Look at Baltimore. A Black President, and Attorney General, Black Mayor, Black Congressman, Black Police chief, Black Police force. White Democrat Governor. Yet the population is raging about white people and an unfair Police force?? Several spokesmen, like Malik Shabazz talking about the white man?? I can pretty much tell you why this white boy ( a real old one) dosen't get shot. He doesn't hang around where he is going to piss off a cop. That's been a plan for many years.
http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/how-baltimores-young-black-men-are-boxed-in/ It's not that complex a concept to grasp.
Yes I understand the point of the article. What I don't understand is the bitch about white people. The whole leadership structure above them is Black! If Shabazz were to get his way and every white in the country were to disappear like shazam, be gone! Nothing would change.
Think about it some more. You have mobility, so you don't get that they don't. It's not something that black leadership above them can do much about. The deck is really stacked against most of them. You can't go blaming out of wedlock births, for example, if you're putting away young men on bullshit drug charges that don't stick for white people arrested for the same thing. Do that enough and they... revolt. I don't blame them.
There you go again with the white people! Sell dope and you get busted I hear. Don't really know 1st hand, never done that. Are you telling me the Black Mayor and Police Chief are abusing the Black men in that town and the Black AG is permitting all this to go down? Or are you suggesting that laws against drug sales have to be ignore in Cities like Baltimore ( and others), white people have to be Ok with that in all other places. What?
Actually, I think I know what should be done, but it would be very difficult to get Democrats to agree. And some of what I would like to see, would be difficult to get Republicans to agree. First off, their is a whole host of things we do not manufacture in the country any longer even though many of those produces are produced in very low cost places, we still could manage to make a profit here simple because we save the shipping and a low profit is much better than pay out to the unemployed. So create that list. Change the tax code to give the top rate and capital gains a tax cut. Also a corporate tax cut for targeted industries, perhaps targeted places (but maybe not). The tax cut must be earned though, to get the unemployment down to 5% or below but a tax increase of x for each percentage point over 5. Then lets see if the smart money goes to work producing jobs for a little profit and a considerable tax cut.. Obama once said it is not good enough making the economy produce jobs, taxations is about producing fairness! You have to get by that mind set.
Seems like the police are aggressively housing black folks looking for a crime to charge them with. If they run away, they get shot in the back 8 times. And, no, the mayor can't fix things by forcing Walmart to build a store in the blighted neighborhoods. Hell, not Walmart but a place that pays enough to give these people mobility that you take for granted.
