Just for a bit of balance.
Do you have the percentage of Black on Black homicides?

I'd love to know why you think that would be "for a bit of balance"... It almost sounds a bit... I don't know.
Anyway... I've got the figures for you.
89% black on black murders from the same source as the previous figures (The National Center for the Victims.of Crime).
And "for a bit of balance": 81% white on white murders.
I hope the equilibrium is back in order for you now.

Inner ear infection I think from listening to current events.
I genuinely don’t do statistics very well.
(To slightly misquote a Scottish Bloke called Andrew Lang) “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts—for support rather than illumination.”
There are though without doubt factors from these numbers that need to be addressed.
If it is something that should concern the current movement.
A lot say no, I think it should.

So we stop this group because they commit murders ?
That's racial profiling isnt it ?
Because the vast vast majority of this group dont kill people

From those figures, the only factor that I can see is that homicide tends to be intra-racial.
It's been pointed out dozens of times on here alone that black on black murder isn't the main issue for BLM -which is another stick to beat them with... But when shown the figures about white on white murders, they seem to completely ignore them. As we've just seen.
Can't BLM just focus on one issue? The more complicated the issue becomes, the blurrier the message gets and a lot will get lost in their fight.
It's crazy how many different arguments people have against BLM. Imagine slagging off the annual Race For Life (cancer charity fundraiser) because it doesn't raise money for Alzheimers or children in poverty.
Can't we just allow BLM to have a single, poignant message (ending racism and violence against the black community) without needing them to focus on solving the rest of the f**ked up shit that goes on in the world too?

Some charming comments from this lovely pair.
"I'm not a racist," claims Jake.
He seems to believe everybody else is as stupid as he is.

It’s an interesting point that you make.
I have posted on here numerous times my support for Black Lives.
I’ve also stated for want of a better word my “confusion” I guess on how to untangle the undoubted systematic racism in America (which no matter how much people try to equate the two) is on a level that is incomparable with the UK.
How we all get there is much of the debate I guess.
I fervently hope that there is another runner in the race to take this challenge on as in my opinion BLM is an Anarcho-Communist movement first and foremost with Intersectionality ruling the roost.
I think that Black lives are actually secondary to their cause and a weapon to get there.

He is undoubtedly a prick.
His Tweets have shown him for what he is..a nasty horrible bastard.
I’m not comfortable with the cancel culture we are following though.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...etc

No worries, the time zone difference is probably a bigger ball ache than getting the food I want.
Anyway here you go, some could be subjective down to your interpretation “Comrade” xx
Every day, we recommit to healing ourselves and each other, and to co-creating alongside comrades
We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege
We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure
When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking

They are victims of 52% of the homicides. Just google before you post. Then you know. Instead of just thinking you might know.

Obviously in america I would be labelled a pinko commie
And sadly the uk is going the same way
