Violent crimes committed by Whites can no longer be ignored by governments and media.

America’s next commander-in-chief will have no national blueprint in attempting to mitigate violent crimes among Whites.
His/her predecessor, Mr. Barack Obama, launched a national effort to improve outcomes for boys and men of color, but the framework of the program is based on the notion that Blacks are inherently disfranchised, and because Whites have noticeable exclusive privileges, the model couldn’t be simply duplicated in White areas of society to bolster their regard for human life and property.
Another challenge for the next President of the Unites States will be the fact that the national news media won’t readily have narratives on hand to assist in explaining why The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that compared to Blacks, Whites were more likely to kill children, the elderly, family members and their significant others.
White fathers aren’t missing from the home, right? The majority of White kids aren’t learning in schools situated in high crime areas, right? White people aren’t naturally prone to violence, right? The music produced by popular White artist doesn’t incite violence, right? I mean, seriously, what then could possibly be the excuse for why Whites are responsible for the vast majority of violent crimes?
According to the FBI, Whites lead Blacks 2-1 in arrests for aggravated assault; in forcible-rape cases, Whites led all racial and ethnic groups by more than 2-1; and in larceny theft, Whites led Blacks, again, more than 2-1.
Since the next leader of the free world can’t rely on the media to accurately articulate the systematic issues that cause a large number of white murder victims to be killed by other Whites, one would assume the logical step would be to partner with outraged White community leaders who often speak out on news programs and street corners against what they perceive to be a white-on-white crime epidemic.
The only problem there is that those individuals don’t seem to exist, or they perform a silent, stealth-like activism, which is noticeably different than from the way Black community leaders respond to what they perceive to be black-on-black crime. For example, in Philadelphia, a city where Blacks make up more than 40% of the population, you can shoot a spit ball in any direction and find a Negro complaining about black-on-black crime, including the Police Commissioner.
I’ve covered more protest in Philadelphia than I can count, and I track media worldwide, and I have never seen a march by White community leaders demanding an end to white-on-white crime. I’ve never watched a news program dedicated to dissecting the Caucasian problem in America.
I’ve never received an invite to attend or speak at a panel where thought-leaders throw out recommendations to solving white-on-white crime, and then receive sh*t loads of federal grant money to mentor White kids and keep them off the street.
Though mainstream media would want the public to believe that the events in Ferguson, Baltimore and Staten Island, New York, have made it more difficult to govern in the 21st century, I would argue it’s the events like the stand-off at the Sugar Pine Mine and the Twin Peaks Shooting—both incidents which saw armed White men threatening the lives of government officials, resulting the closing of businesses and government offices alike—that makes it harder to maintain Law and Order.
Whoever takes up residence at the White House will have to tackle a problem that most people won’t acknowledge exists, which makes it that much harder to solve. And there is no easy answer to solving white-on-white crime, but there is an easy explanation for why we don’t talk about it the way we talk about black-on-black crime: racism.

I agreed with you 8ball about helping poor white people since the greatest concentration of poor whites are in the Appalachian Mountain area. Of course, you now have a lot of poor whites who used to be middle class people until their jobs got sent overseas for the last 35 years and due to the Great Recession of 2008.
One quote from one of my closest black friends, a line he used often for a variety of things was “this is BULL SHIT.”
I think it’s satire. I find it difficult to believe that the author (or anyone) doesn’t know that whites are the majority in America.
Holy crap, the bullshit is strong. So you’re telling me the majority population of a country commits the majority of crimes?? WHAT?! No, what’s amazing is that black people apparently only commit half the crimes of white people- according to your own figures above, anyway- despite the black population only being ~1/6th the size of the white population. But, hey, by all means- let’s start up programs to help impoverished white people get a helping hand and “mentor them”. It’s not like people like you won’t start screaming RACISM at the idea and demanding your cut of the funding the… Read more »
How about tackling white collar, corporate crime by wealthy people and corporation?
