According to the NYT, Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S.

The declines are small. But they are welcome news after two years of large increases left the murder rate nearly 40 percent higher than it had been.

When the media reports on crime, it almost always focuses on grim stories. A recent analysis by Bloomberg found that headlines about shootings in New York City recently increased while the actual number of shootings remained relatively flat.

Americans consistently say crime is getting worse when it is not. Between the 1990s and 2014, crime — including violent crime and murders — fell more than 50 percent across the U.S. Yet for most of that time, a majority of Americans told Gallup that crime was up compared to the year before.

The bad news bias potentially leaves Americans more scared for their safety than they should be. It also may drive more people to believe that punitive criminal justice policies are needed, or that reforms are increasing crime when they are not. In a speech last month, for example, Donald Trump recounted several recent murders in grisly detail and called for “tough,” “nasty” and “mean” anti-crime policies. [MORE]

The racist suspects at NYT report that “Crime, murder and mass shootings have dominated headlines this year.” They do every year regardless of the crime rate and the NYT is very much a part of it. The Sentencing Project found that ‘Dependent media outlets reinforce the public’s racial misconceptions about crime by presenting African Americans and Latinos differently than whites – both quantitatively and qualitatively. Television news programs and newspapers over-represent racial minorities as crime suspects and whites as crime victims. Black and Latino suspects are also more likely than whites to be presented in a non-individualized and threatening way – unnamed and in police custody.’ FUNKTIONARY states:

Black-on-Black Crime – a psycho-political euphemism, unwittingly used and abused by African-Americans and deliberately by Caucasians, describing demographic criminal activity in general, as people overwhelmingly commit violent crimes on people who live in closest proximity to them, and the violence mostly occurs by those and on those who are held hostage under chronic and cyclical economically disadvantaged circumstances and environments. Do you ever hear of the slogan “White-on-White” crime? Most violent crimes (at least by number, if not also by percentage of population) take place by Caucasians against Caucasians. Where’s the associated terminology? The pathological criminality within Black neighborhoods is maintained by the ones “keepin’ it real”—that is, real quick to murder people who look like themselves. (See: Gangbanking, Pan-Africanism & Racism)

crime – as we are programmed to perceive it involves drugs, theft, murder, etc., most of which is an outward expression or release of energy by the victims from the circumstances conjured up by Doggy and the criminals which make up the majority of what passes as criminality, but in reality, the victimization of the masses by the means in which they are left to live by. Crime is so-called “government’s” biggest industry, followed closely by propaganda. Corporate State derives revenue on both sides of the law (licenses and fees) so you can avoid having to pay (penalties, violations, fees, citations, peonage, and jail time) for “breaking” the law (i.e., Roman civil law). (See: Corporate State, “Government” & Servitude)

Racists are obsessed with crime statistics in Black communities. According to the Sentencing Project, “Researchers have shown that crime reporting exaggerates crime rates and exhibits both quantitative and qualitative racial biases. This includes a tendency . . to exaggerate rates of black offending and white victimization and to depict black suspects in a less favorable light than whites.“Under the pretense of being concerned about the well-being of Black people, the liberal white media in urban areas in particular, sensationalize crime with overblown coverage and hyper alertness. To be explicitly clear, it is a guise because we live in a system of racism/white supremacy in which most white people (or the most powerful white people) seek to dominate or control non-white people with master-servant relations in all areas of people activity and who project and maintain unequal power and conditions in a white over Black system. Racists, either self-described as liberal or conservative, have no intention of changing this arrangement because they are the permanent enemy of non-white people. White liberals and conservatives spare no cost when it comes to placing Black people in greater confinement. Dr. Amos Wilson states,

"Given the historical and contemporary virulence of White racism in America and the injustice toward Blacks that such racism engenders, the number of arrests, incarcerations, and in many instances, convictions of Black males should be viewed with a jaundiced eye. The willingness of White Americans to heavily tax themselves in order to finance accelerated and increased prison construction, rapidly expanding police forces and so-called criminal justice system personnel, burgeoning private police and security establishments; their willingness to finance the incarcera­tion of a Black male prisoner upwards of $30,000 to $40,000 per year, in sharp contrast to their unwillingness to tax themselves to provide for the appropriate funding of the education of Black children and to commit themselves to the ending of racist employment practices; to provide adequate housing medical care, food and clothing; clearly implies that alleged Black male criminality plays a very important role in defining the collective White American ego and personality.”

Liberal white media (also) engage in daily “white propganda,” which FUNKTIONARY explains “is a game two can play—which consists simply in repeating “I am better than you” and “you are utterly unlike (opposite to) me” over and over again; despite the historical record to the contrary,” is aimed at satisfying the imaginative appetite of the neuropean viewing audience. It feeds them with crime data to help otherize Blacks and support a posture already taken and projected; as these white simpletons believe crime stats are proof of the fantastic myth that Blacks are inherently criminal. Based on this unstated belief, white liberals go on using crime to justify treating Black people criminally in liberal cities, freely imposing punitive policies and socially distancing themselves from Blacks.

It should go without saying but White republican prosecutors and judges aren’t filling the jails with Black people in diverse, liberal cities like Washington D.C., NYC or Chicago. If you don’t believe it put down your phone and go watch the arraignments in your local criminal court run by white liberals. While you’re there please count the number of white defendants you see. Elite white liberals control the material resources, media, government, utilities, property, commerce etc. in liberal cities. White liberal puppeticians, prosecutors, administrators and judges (along with their Black servant rolebots) use their authority to place Black and Latino people into greater confinement in places like Chicago. The real life arrangement in which nearly all arrests and criminal defendants are of Black people and all the persons doing the prosecuting and adjudicating are nearly all white, (perhaps considered disproportionate and protested to an extent by conscious liberals, always looking to reform) is tolerated in white liberal cities and considered a natural arrangement or outcome that occurs spontaneously, every day, decade after decade. Here, it also should go without saying that race is not real (racism is). [MORE]

But as demonstrated by white liberals during the COVID episode, who needs “science” and reality when you have dogma, fear, superstition, belief, stupidity and emotion, all of which are the substance of the granfalloon of racism/white supremacy? Neuropeans who imagine Black people to be inherently criminal can rationalize that it makes sense to stalk, stop, search, seize and fill the jails with them. Upon such human hierarchy clogic; Blacks naturally fall into inferior or servant positions and conversely whites necessarily maintain their master roles. As such, along with their conservative counterparts, white liberals use “black criminality” to simultaneously empower themselves.

Dr. Amos Wilson explains that “Black-on-Black criminality and violence play a crucial role in maintaining White American power in all of its manifestations.” Unlike many republicans who are overtly racist, “The bane of the African community is the exploitative White American community which projects a so-called civilized, fraternal, egalitarian, liberal face while concurrently seeking to maintain White supremacy.” White liberal crime coverage functions as propagenda in support this hypocrisy. Wilson further explains, "Alleged Black criminality, while evoking White American fear and loathing, reassures them of their vaunted self-worth, their assumed innately superior moral standing, of their self-congratulatory self-constraint in contrast with presumed Black American unworthiness, innate inferior moral standing, inherent criminality, lack of self-constraint and self-control.” “Black criminals function as a negative reference group vital to maintaining the White American self-image. The Black criminal is used to support the White American community's self-serving, self-justifying judgments of itself. White America's preoccupation with Black criminality betrays its own need for reassurance; betrays its own basic insecurity regarding its projected moral purity. Consequently, the higher the incidence of reported Black criminality, the more exceptionally righteous White America feels itself to be. The more righteous it feels itself to be the more intensely and guiltlessly it promulgates and justifies its domination and exploitation of African peoples at home and abroad.” [MORE]
