[From article]
“Who cares about cosmic inflation during the first seconds of the universe’s existence when black people are getting shot left and right by police officers and vigilantes?” That is what Chanda Hsu Prescod-Weinstein, a postdoctoral fellow in physics at MIT, thought to herself upon hearing the news from Ferguson.
Are black people getting shot left and right by police officers and vigilantes?
[. . .]
Even if the police were lying in every single case of the 410 “justifiable homicides” in 2012, then police were responsible for 3% of the murders in 2012. Who was responsible for the other 97%? Vigilantes?
According to the FBI again, of the 12,635 murder victims in 2014 in which the race of the victim was known, 6,454 of them (51%) were black. Only 5,855 (46%) were white. Blacks are about 13% of the total population. So it is true that blacks are getting murdered at a disproportional rate. Murder has a disparate impact.
Who is doing the murdering? The FBI has some data on that also. In 2012 there were 5,923 single victim/single offender murders in which the race of the offender was known. The offender was black in 2,896 of those murders, or 49% of them. (The offender was white in 2,875 of those cases, also 49%.)
Of the 2,648 black victims in those cases, 2,412 of them (91%) were murdered by other blacks. (Also, blacks killed 431 whites and whites killed 193 blacks.
