Excerpt:
The recent White House summit regarding the events in Ferguson was held to address (as New York mayor Bill de Blasio put it) the “scourge” of killings by police of blacks.
According to a study by USA Today, an average of 96 blacks are killed by white cops per year. Last year, 6,000 blacks were murdered by other blacks — more than 60 times the number of blacks killed by white cops. Time for another White House summit?
In 2013, 409 whites were murdered by blacks. Summit?
The figures below suggest the White House also may want to consider summits on black unemployment, educational achievement, single motherhood, household income, poverty rates, and school discipline — just to name a few concerns that have an impact on American blacks at least as profound as blacks being killed by white cops.
