I will be glad to. First click on the link you provided to the real site and you will pull up the webpage pictured below in the first thumbnail. I apologize for not being able to separate the linked thumbnail illustrations. I am not overly tech savvy. On that webpage you click on the second link provided titled “Criminal victimization, 2018: Full report”
That will take you to a 37 page report. Scroll down to the bottom of page 13 where you will find Table 14 which I have pictured in the bottom thumbnail. From there all that is needed is simple math. The first column lists how many times the different races were victims of violent crimes. Whites were victims 3,581,360 times, blacks were victims 563,940 times. Combining those brings you to 4,145,300 for Total Violent Incidents which is the first number listed in the meme in question. Next whites are listed as the offender against blacks 10.6% of the time. 10.6% of 563,940 is 59,777. This verifies the number of white on black incidents in the meme in question. Next blacks are listed as the offender against whites 15.3% of the time. 15.3% of 3,581,360 is 547,948. This verifies the black on white incident figure in the meme in question.
So the meme in question is in fact taken from legitimate Bureau of Justice statistics. It is truthful and accurate or at least as accurate as government statistics allow.
Lastly I have no idea who may respond to this post. This will absolutely be the last you hear from me in this thread. For the most part I don’t care for most of social media because I hate to argue. Also in the general scheme of things my opinion doesn’t matter to anyone but me and that makes it pretty much irrelevant. I’m okay with that. I don’t like people being belittled or harassed no matter what their viewpoint is. One side constantly questions the patriotism of the other so that side accuses the other side of caring more about money than people. Both sides say the other side is racist. Nobody ever admits to being wrong about anything. Nobody ever changes their mind. Leftists will never admit that conservatives could be right about anything and conservatives will never admit that any of the lefts ideas could have merit. Thirty to forty years ago that was ok. You could disagree with someone’s politics and still be friends and you certainly didn’t worry that you could lose your job over a differing opinion. That is sadly happening less and less. Freedom of speech is rapidly becoming a quaint relic of years gone by. We are all supposed to be tolerant but I don’t see much tolerance these days. Instead I see a boatload of hate. I also see one idea starting to being promoted that will have a devastatingly negative impact on every single person in the United States. That is the call to defund police departments. Seriously have people gone completely insane? City council’s, mayors of large cities, even congressional representatives are calling for this. We are told this is possible if we all just become better people. Well dang this is gonna be great. We will all just be better people and we won’t need any police because nobody will break any laws and since everyone is going to be so thoughtful and loving we can just get rid of our military too since we won’t have anymore wars. I imagine that around the same time someone really smart will figure a way for money to grow on trees and we will no longer have any poor people. Get real people!! Criminals that break into houses and steal aren’t going to stop one day and say to themselves I should stop doing this and get a job so I can pay for my own stuff. With no police the burglars and drug addicts will steal even more. The rapists will rape more, drunk drivers will cause more fatal accidents, and on and on it will go. Crime in every category will go up not down. Life as you know it will be far worse. To believe otherwise is to ignore human history. Fifty plus years ago I remember hearing my grandparents say on occasion what is this world coming to. Now I am a senior citizen and I am thinking the same thing! We seem to be headed in the wrong direction. I hope we can change before this wonderful country of ours falls apart.
