Counting Crimes

There are politicians, protesters and pundits who gather and share statistics correlating the numbers with the cause of what is conveniently identified as a problem in society.

But correlation alone is not proof of the cause without understanding the processes of the individual minds and their effects upon the crowd psychology of society as a group.

Where is the real threat to communities and their members? Is it the police or the apathy, sloth,avarice and greed of the people themselves? What really is taking the liberty and the lives in society? Is racism rampant? Is it even a significant factor in causing the difficulties and inequalities in society as some people suggest the statistics prove? What has caused liberty to diminish and decay in nation after nation from the dawn of man?

The Race in America, a Holy Post video by Phil Vischer correlates what appears to be an impressive list of statistics which he seems to claims prove the cause of the plight of American Black community is racism.

"I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed. – Booker T Washington


People are divided by their own pride, greed, covetousness, and of course their sloth and wantonness.

While Phil's video is polished the facts can be misleading because it is missing a basic understanding of the key factors in the individual and social development of communities as the root causes of why they break down. His presentation is not alone in its misconception of the cause and effect for societal decay.

"A whining crying race may be pitied but seldom respected." – Booker T Washington

Many of the statistics presented by pundits who point to racism as the problem are used by their opponents to prove another cause for the effects we see.

There are those that like quoting that "In 2018, black people were three times more likely to be killed by police than were whites." That sounds terrible but is it because of racism?

What they fail to mention is that Black commit more than 5 times the crimes as whites including almost 50 percent of the murders even though they only account for 12% of the population.

In 2016 there were 6676 murders in the USA, 3176 were committed by blacks and 3196 by whites. Blacks are only 12% but commit almost 50% of the murders. How is that possible?

And white account for the other half of the murders but are more than half at 61% of the population. In 2016 there were 777 interracial homicides. 553 were committed by Blacks. Why are blacks committing more homicides?

Statistics also show that about 68 to 85% of all interracial homicides are committed by Blacks even though they are only 12% of the population. Historically speaking black people are not more violent than white people so the present statistics of who is most violent has nothing to do with race.

So what is causing this extreme inequality in murder and violent crimes rates if it is not racial? and what about police killings?

The FBI counted 435 “justifiable homicides” by police officers in 2016, and in 429 of the cases, the person had a firearm when killed.

Police killed 1,165 people in 2018. Seeing that the police are called to get to the most dangerous part of town and confront the most dangerous people in your community as quickly as possible it would seem that more people would likely die in a nation of 320,000,000 people.

More than 250,000 people in the US die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer and doctors are not endanger of being shot, stabbed or over powered, nor do they have to wrestle their patience to the ground, subdue them, and take them into custody.

"The study, which was done by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, made news in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and in news outlets across the nation. Its major finding: An estimated 251,454 deaths per year, or 9.5 percent of all deaths in the United States, stem from a medical error."

In 2017, police killed 19 unarmed black males, down from 36 in 2015, according to The Washington Post. There were 66 in 2016 police officers were “feloniously” killed but 135 died in the line of duty.

How many lives do police officers save every year by direct action? How many do they save by their presence?

"A recent “deadly force” study by Washington State University researcher Lois James found that police officers were less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white or Hispanic ones in simulated threat scenarios. Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer analyzed more than 1,000 officer-involved shootings across the country. He concluded that there is zero evidence of racial bias in police shootings. In Houston, he found that blacks were 24 percent less likely than whites to be shot by officers even though the suspects were armed or violent."

The real cause of riots and social unrest is the heart and mind of the people which is often degenerated by the spread of gifts, gratuities and benefits at the expense of their neighbor.
