The Myth of Crime in America

Of late once again in America there is a deliberate strategy and movement to define Black Americans as violent , criminal and tolerant of crime in our nation. The acceleration of political campaigns will augment this narrative as well.

Media platforms all across America are major contributors and carriers of these racist narratives as well as the politicians of all stripes. Communities of color also contribute to the exaggeration of crime via rumors, chatter and social gossiping.

Law enforcement agencies across the country are baked in faux and tainted data that create racial profiles of criminals based upon flawed historical records , reports and information that often results false arrests and high volumes of open case files 

There is no crime wave in America, in fact major crimes rates have been down in America for decades.  Homicides as well are down especially in major cities in America . The overwhelming majority of crimes in America involve property damage not personal injuries nor an  epidemic of criminal homicides .

The rate of ‘stranger danger’ is so minuscule it is difficult to even measure and chart, in fact most victims of assaults and homicides know their assailants . Random incidents of unlawful acts to people is just that random.The overwhelming majority of people in America will never become victims of crimes…Never

So then despite the facts that there is no demonstrable crime wave in America what is driving this curated fiction and disinformation with regards to crime in America? Is it just  the usual racism from the uber Right or is it an aspect of the pathologies of racism in America given our centuries old racist legacy? There clearly is no objective demonstrable case to be made that Crime in America is an epidemic in any venue in America!! 

Per the FBI and Homeland Security the most dangerous aggregate of people in America don’t look like me or other minorities nor does the insurrectionists/ domestic terrorists in America look like me or other minorities .

Understanding  the reality and facts about crime in America will make us safer. This basic fundamental approach in viewing and reacting to crime is more effective than any media coverage or any increase in police officers, cameras, surveillance, paramilitary gear  that exists now in America that portends  to keep us safe from crime .

Let’s start here to end the fear of crime in our communities and America ….

It is certainly convenient to simply call dissonant data "tainted" or "faux," and then to refer to claims for which there is no data at all (that the biggest criminal threat in the US is "white supremacists" or "white nationalists").

You would be hard pressed to find a single "white nationalist" murder (or violent crime, for that matter) in the US so far in 2024, but there were over 30 murders--almost all black-on-black--in Chicago alone in January 2024.

It is also unlikely that cities controlled by "progressives," and states controlled by "progressives," and a federal government controlled by "progressives," all of whom at least pander to black constituencies (but having done absolutely nothing for blacks in the last 90 years), would report data suggesting that blacks commit violent crimes at higher rates.

Occam's Razor suggest that the explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely correct--and the claim that all the data is tainted and the reporting is all driven by racist motivations requires a lot of assumptions that require, frankly, a conspiracy theory.

The FBI UCR data tell us unequivocally that blacks commit murder at over 500% the rate of whites, and that blacks murder whites at over 800% the rate whites murder blacks. So rather than less attention to this disparity, or attempting to excuse it or deny it, we need more attention.

This poster’s ignorance is not only deep but misinformed as well, there are a number of WHITE NATIONALISTs crimes including homicides in America where these criminals don’t run and tell the police about their crimes!!! In fact many prosecutors often add conspiracy charges to their criminal indictments

FBI UCR is only a selective survey of cities that provide crime statistics. This poster ignorance here is deep , The FBI UCR is not an index of CRIME CONVICTIONS!!

What is extremely dangerous about this poster’s ignorance is that it puts communities in peril when people like this poster are clueless and ignorant about the reality of crime.

Fear is not a police strategy that is productive and effective ‘
