Bubba (@BubbatheOG) goes after Charlie Kirk and the latter’s statements concerning the overrepresentation of blacks in prisons and in serious crime. This video is a load of non sequiturs. I will come to that, but why avoid reality? Or does Bubba not know how to do basic research? Most of the victims of cries perpetrated by blacks are themselves black—more than half of homicides are perpetrated by black (mostly) men and more than half of the victims of homicides are black (mostly men). Moreover, blacks are far more likely to murder (and rob, etc.) whites than the other way around. We can’t solve the problem of crime if we don’t tell the truth. Public safety is a human right. Let’s begin with the black-on-white crime problem.
We hear a great deal about interracial homicide when it’s white people killing black people. “Racism” we’re told. We were reminded of this in the Daniel Penny acquittal. Penny, who is white, was found not guilty of killing a black man on a subway. Penny acted because the man was threatening passengers. He was not alone. Black men helped. They were never charged. Black Lives Matters claims that whites kill blacks with impunity. But the reality is that far more whites are murdered by blacks than the other way around. Another reality is that the media rarely reports this fact.
Why is black on white murder so much more frequent than white on black murder? Partly because, demographically, as a group, blacks are much more likely to murder compared to other groups. The statistics are quite dramatic. Over 95 percent of murders are committed by men. Blacks commit more than half of all murders. Blacks are around 12 percent of the population. Men are half the population. Black men are eight times more likely to kill than white men. Given segregation, wherein most serious crime is interracial, the intraracial ratio is remarkable Imagine the inverse of that ratio with no media attention. Seems impossible, doesn’t it? (see Why are there so Many More White than Black Victims of Interracial Homicide?) I have been reporting on this on Freedom and Reason for many years (see also Race and Violent Death in America). Below is another graphic representation of the phenomenon.
What about Bubba’s criticisms of Kirk? Blacks are by race 42 percent of the prison population—and with the prison population over 90 percent male, and black males making up only around six percent of the US population, the racial disproportionately is staggering. In contrast, whites are 36 percent of the prison population.
Bubba’s numbers aren’t real. More than this: the Bureau of Prisons, like the Census Bureau, obscures the true number by introducing ethnicity in the mix. A third maybe more of Hispanics are racially black. This is somewhat offset by moving white Hispanics into the white category. But by how much? A lot of Hispanics are indigenous. In other words, not nearly enough to get whites near 50 percent.
The drastic overrepresentation of blacks in prisons is roughly proportional to the amount of serious crime blacks perpetrate—over 50 percent of murders and robberies, and a third to two-fifths of other serious crimes (aggravated assault, burglary, rape). Most mass murders happen in black-majority neighborhoods. Again, if one cares about black people, then he tells the truth about crime in the Blue Cities. He certainly doesn’t obscure the data to deny what any competent observer can find by spending a few minutes on the Internet.
