Gun homicide: Percentage of killers who were White vs. Black (1980-2008)
Last edited Thu Jun 20, 2013, 01:43 PM USA/ET - Edit history (4)
Percentage of killers (offenders) who were white: 41%
Percentage of killers who were black: 56%
Hispanics not accounted for.
See Page 13 of this study authored by Bureau of Justice Statistics personnel: http://michellawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Enos-Ex-B.pdf
As an overwhelming percentage of Hispanics identify themselves as white rather than black, the non-hispanic white offender percentage is certain to be much lower than 41%, while the percentage for "black" should not decrease nearly as much, if Hispanic heritage is accounted for.
The statistics above are striking in light of recent findings reported here that an overwhelming number of whites owned guns compared to members of other racial groups.

28. Gun deaths shaped by race in America
Gun deaths are shaped by race in America. Whites are far more likely to shoot themselves, and African Americans are far more likely to be shot by someone else.
The statistical difference is dramatic, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A white person is five times as likely to commit suicide with a gun as to be shot with a gun; for each African American who uses a gun to commit suicide, five are killed by other people with guns.

12. The black community suffers disproportionately from gun violence?
This could have something to do with why there is strong support for gun control in urban areas.
Now, couple this with the fact that they only comprise about 12.8% of the population. You Progs caused this.

More than likely, the Hispanics are included here. Like they are in sex crime stats.

These people must never watch First 48.
Maybe one murderer in twenty is white.

This fool forgets to cite that overwhelmingly blacks who are killed are done so by other blacks!
