Yes, I’m well aware that I didn’t use the statistics you mentioned. That’s because they weren’t applicable. This article is about bigotry–do you understand the meaning in this context? So hate crimes are more relevant to the subject than violent crimes in general. If you want to go with violent crimes in general, the higher number of those crimes committed by blacks are not “black on white” crimes as you stated. They are predominately black-on-black crimes. However, racially motivated crimes–which would be relevant to this article–are more likely to be committed by whites against blacks by a ratio of nearly four to one. Perhaps you should actually read the FBI statistics instead of just referencing them for effect.

Discussion on racism? Good idea.

First let’s review the FBI violent crime statistics for black on white crime vs. white on black crime.

Now we can have an informed discussion.

That seemed like a good idea, so I did. According to the most recent available statistics from FBI.gov, in 2010 69.8 percent of racially motivated hate crimes were anti-black, and 18.2 percent were anti-white.

Are you ready to start that informed discussion?

YES I AM. First of all virtually no black on white crime is labeled a “hate crime”. That is so non PC. Google Knoxville 4 for instance.

Disregarding a label (hate crimes) I did not use in my post and which is applied subjectively after the fact and instead checking the FBI stats for “violent crimes” (which requires no subjective labeling) you will sing a different tune.

Blacks proportionately (do you understand the meaning in this context?) commit 6 times as many violent crimes as whites do.

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Yes, NFL, we know bigotry exists. How about a documentary about athletes who overcome a disease, handicap, or having Rex Ryan as their coach? Those would be more interesting. Another “Hey, America, you have a long history of bigotry and racism” show? I’ll pass. I already got that memo.

This is why its needed. Because people don’t watch it and then do exactly what the show is about and look around like “O, I didn’t know that was racist.”

We need to teach these young people.

@ Godzilla…why don’t you review the research before you ask someone else?

@Deb got the right info. I think you were just looking for crimes black people committed against white and viceversa not considering if they were racially motivated or not.

How can any sane person in this country object to an effort to expose bigotry for what it is?

It gives me a headache to try and think like that. What a sucky life it must be for some of you.

So let me get this straight to promote unity and harmony you choose 4 athletes from one side of the discussion and non from the other…and you wonder why bigotry exists!!!

Ward,Graham, and Gonzalez are all of mixed parentage, hence their “unique” perspective. Not sure about Dungy. Also getting a bunch of non-white athletes together to talk about bigotry is akin to getting a bunch of rape victims together to talk about abuse. Not alot of folks would want to listen to the rapists,except people from Pittsburgh.

Which bigots would you recommend to represent the “other side” of an anti-bigotry campaign?

This would include most of the Teapublican party…
While it may be true that not all Republicans are bigots, there’s little debate that most bigots are Republicans…

I’m gonna guess no one takes 3octave’s political observations seriously.
Just a guess on my part.
