"• Almost 11,000 black people were killed by other black people between the time unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in Florida was killed and his shooter, George Zimmerman, was acquitted.

• Despite the large number of killings, it's hard to name a single case where a black person killed another black person during this time.

• The United States ranks third in the world for murder.

• If Chicago; Detroit; Washington, D.C.; and New Orleans were removed from the United States' murder statistics, the U.S. would drop to fourth from the bottom for murders."
