Trump retweets racially charged crime data
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump retweeted an image Sunday that compares black-on-black murders to police killings.
Trump's @realDonaldTrump Twitter account highlighted a photograph featuring a dark-skinned man wearing a bandana, a dark shirt and military-style pants and holding a handgun sideways and claiming to list 2015 crime statistics.
It includes six lines. Two of them: "BLACKS KILLED BY POLICE ~~ 1%" and "BLACKS KILLED BY BLACKS ~~ 97%."

The figures Trump retweeted overstate the number of homicides committed by blacks.
According to FBI statistics, of the 2,451 homicides of black people in 2014, 90% were committed by black people, while 8% of the offenders were white.

That sort of racial disparity isn't uncommon: Of the 3,021 homicides of white people in 2014, 82% were committed by white people, while 15% of the offenders were black.
Did you just read the FBI statistics??
The figures Trump retweeted inaccurately stated that 81% of white homicide victims are killed by blacks.!!!!!! Racist liar fueling racial hate . He flipped the numbers so instead of 82% of whites being murdered by other whites
He show a chart with 81% of whites being murdered by blacks
In his lie book no doubt the other 19%of white murders ? Killed by Hispanics , maybe some Muslims

Trump - "97% of blacks killed by blacks! - 1% Killed by Police!"
Rational people " Liar!!! it is actually 90% of blacks killed by blacks! - 8% killed by white people!"
Do you really want to make that argument for them???

(3,180 posts)The 13,897 murder offenders in 2014 included 4367 committed by whites and
5173 committed by blacks.
What stands out like a sore thumb is that 14.3% of the population committed
so many of the murders.

(10,778 posts)... much less the highest. And it's not just because he's a neofascist racist (which is more than enough), but this incident also reveals the "secret" that he's pretty fucking stupid.
