African-Americans are victims of nearly half the murders committed in the United States despite making up only 13 percent of the population, a report published Thursday showed. Around 8,000 of nearly 16,500 murder victims in 2005, or 49 percent, were black Americans, according to the report released by the statistics bureau of the Department of Justice.
Broken down by gender, 6,800 black men were murdered in 2005, making up more than half the nearly 13,000 male murder victims.
Black women made up 35 percent, or 1,200, of the nearly 3,500 female homicide victims.
Young black men aged between 17 and 29 bore a disproportionately high burden in the grim statistics, making up 51 percent of African-American murder victims.
The percentage of white male murder victims in the same age group was 37 percent.
More than half the murders of blacks took place in densely populated urban areas.
Firearms were involved 77 percent of the time in homicides involving black people and around 60 percent of the time in murders of whites.
Most murder victims -- 93 percent of blacks and 85 percent of whites -- were killed by someone of their own race.
Gang violence was involved in around five percent of homicides with black victims against seven percent for white victims.
In percentage terms, whites were twice as likely to be killed by a current or former partner than blacks -- 12 percent of whites were murdered by a life partner against six percent of blacks.
Blacks were also at greater risk of rape or sexual assault than any other ethnic group except American Indians, the report showed.

I don't buy that part about the gang violence,seems like every murder in a CT city is gang related. 0 -
So, following the usual gun-ban logic, one would expect Hillary et al to push for laws making it illegal for blacks to own guns.
Right?0 -
16,500 murders out of a pop of 300 million.
so overall a chance of .000055 of being murdered overall.0 -
MrOrange - Sounds good to me.
It would immediately reduce the number of murder victims by 77 percent of 8,000 or roughly 5,800 victims. AT ONE STROKE.
Being a closet liberal, I'm for anything that would prevent the murders of so many of my Black Brothers and Sisters.
Right on, Bro !! Word !!

"and around 60 percent of the time in murders of whites."
So basically... 40% of the murders outside the "low income areas"(the politically correct term for stuff-hole or ghetto) are done without firearms.... so clearly banning guns won't stop murders, it will just changed how they are done, the 60% will have to emulate the 40%0 -

In Jena, a small town in Central Louisiana, crying out against the convictions of SIX black youths who nearly killed a white youth by beating and kicking him. Apparently they were convicted by a white jury because NONE of the blacks who received jury notices showed up.
Will Al decry the stupidity and apathy of the blacks for not showing up and doing their "civic duty?" Or will he merely vilify the whites for oppressing his black brothers?
Thirteen percent of the population certainly has a way of stinking it up for the rest, doesn't it? In Al's case, where is sickle cell anemia when you need it? [:o)]0
