In 2015 St. Louis - 49% Black/43% White - 98% of Homicide Suspects Non-White

Each year, the City of St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, releases an Annual Report to the Community. This report breaks down violent crime and the overall percentage of the racial group arrested for each offense (note because of lack of trust with police, many violent crimes/homicides lack suspects. The black community would rather have criminals among them than in jail).

From 2015 annual report from St. Louis Police Department (115 of 117 homicide suspects were non-white)

Remember, out of 318,000 people, St. Louis is 49.2 percent black 43.9 percent white (as of 2010 US Census). 

Here's the breakdown for 2015:

• 84.3% of those arrested for aggravated assault in St. Louis in 2015 were black.

• 92.6% of those arrested for robbery in St. Louis in 2015 were black.

• 95% of those arrested for murder in St. Louis in 2015 were black.  

• 72.2% of those arrested for forcible rape in St. Louis in 2015 were black. 

• 79.8% of those arrested for auto theft in St. Louis in 2015 were black  

• 91.6% of those arrested for weapons offenses in St. Louis in 2015 were black

For those wondering, 1999 - 2013 are found here.  

From 2014 annual report from St. Louis Police Department: 99% of homicide suspects non-white

Crazier, let's look at 2014:

• 87.1% of those arrested for aggravated assault in St. Louis in 2014 were black.

• 93.6% of those arrested for robbery in St. Louis in 2014 were black.

• 94% of those arrested for murder in St. Louis in 2014 were black.  

• 80.2% of those arrested for forcible rape in St. Louis in 2014 were black. 

• 81.1% of those arrested for auto theft in St. Louis in 2014 were black  

• 90% of those arrested for weapons offenses in St. Louis in 2014 were black

What's crazy about the data for St. Louis is this: the annual report shows 96 of 99 homicide suspects in 2013 were black (97 percent), and 120 of 123 homicide suspect in 2014 were black (98 percent).  For 2015, 112 of 117 homicide suspects were black (96 percent). 

Yes, folks, crime has a color in America. Just look to St. Louis for proof of this fact. 

In 70% Black Baltimore, Elected Officials Oppose Mandatory One-Year Sentence for Illegal Gun Possession b/c it will "disproportionately impact black people"

If you've read The City that Bleeds: Race, History, and the Death of Baltimore, you know black people in Baltimore carefully protect their city by using black criminality to keep out white people from ever being a demographic threat to run things again.

"We gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well..." Now elected officials in 70 percent black Baltimore are protecting black criminals from mandatory one-year sentences for illegal gun possession... because it will impact blacks.

Now imagine this 70 percent black having black elected officials - representatives of the state - protecting black criminals from a legal system they've deemed not just racist, but replete with implicit bias. 

Oh, it's true. [Baltimore leaders propose mandatory sentence for illegal gun possession, Baltimore Sun, 7-14-17]:

Baltimore leaders on Friday proposed a mandatory one-year sentence for illegal gun possession within 100 yards of a school, park, church, public building or other public place of assembly within the city. 

The bill would prevent any part of the one-year sentence from being suspended, and preclude those with such convictions from receiving parole. 

Mayor Catherine Pugh said she’d like to do more to restrict guns, but “this is what we can do locally” without changing state law. 

Pugh acknowledged that there is a church or a school “on nearly every corner” in the city, and said “as it relates to this legislation, that’s a good thing.” 

Police Commissioner Kevin Davis praised the bill as a much-needed change to help the city address its soaring violence. The city is on pace to surpass 300 homicides for the third year in a row. Before 2015, that mark hadn’t been reached in Baltimore since the 1990s. 

Police Commissioner Kevin Davis praised the bill as a much-needed change to help the city address its soaring violence. The city is on pace to surpass 300 homicides for the third year in a row. Before 2015, that mark hadn’t been reached in Baltimore since the 1990s. 

City council members there in support of the bill were Leon F . Pinkett III, Isaac “Yitzy” Schleifer, and Robert Stokes Sr. Other council members voiced their opposition to the bill Friday, including Ryan Dorsey and Kristerfer Burnett. 

Dorsey said the legislation should not be fast-tracked. 

“This is not something that we should decide on overnight,” he said. “It’s going to disproportionately impact black people and communities negatively. I haven’t seen any evidence that mandatory minimums actually deter any sort of crime.” 

Burnett said the city would be better off increasing funding for Safe Streets and schools to combat violence. 

“We should treat violence as a public health issue,” he said. 

He argued that mandatory minimums do not decrease crime. 

“We are under a lot of pressure right now from community members living in neighborhoods experiencing violence to do something,” Burnett said. “I don’t want to minimize their fears, but we have a responsibility to enact good policy as well.” 

Some criminal justice reform advocates and defense attorneys also expressed opposition to the bill. 

Councilman Brandon Scott, chair of the public safety committee, said he believes there are good intentions behind the bill, but he also has some concerns that must be discussed as he and his colleagues consider the legislation. 

“We know mandatory minimums have been specifically shown to overwhelmingly impact poor black people, and in Baltimore we know that we have an unfortunate abundance of poor black people, particularly poor black men who have already been impacted by mandatory minimums,” Scott said.  

“We have to figure out how to make sure that those violent repeat offenders who feel comfortable carrying guns are being punished, but at the same time we cannot have things that are going to make things worse when you’re talking about the grand scheme of young poor black people in our city.” 

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, whose office often strikes plea deals with gun offenders in which the offenders receive sentences of less than a year in prison, was not at the press conference. 

In response to questions about the bill and its potential impact on plea negotiations, her office released a statement that did not mention the bill. It said Mosby is “committed to holding criminals who wreak havoc in our city accountable for their actions and support all efforts intended to strengthen gun control.”

Not once, but twice we get an admission black people are responsible for virtually all the crime/gun crime in 70 percent black Baltimore. 

Mind you, Baltimore was 88 percent white in 1917. 

You'd think elected officials would want to get criminals off the streets to attract businesses into the city, because 70 percent black Baltimore is in desperate need to expand its tax base. You'd think they'd be delirious of attracting citizens to the city who could help save the crumbling housing stock, a byproduct of an neglectful black population uninterested in maintaining residential property white people long ago abandoned. 

But no, we get, "disproportionately impact black people," and mandatory one-year sentences for illegal gun possession will perpetuate the cycle of systemic racism because, "mandatory minimums have been specifically shown to overwhelmingly impact poor black people."

You can have western civilization or you can have a black population. 

It's one or the other. 

Baltimore in 2017, a 70 percent black city where elected black officials protect black criminals from being held accountable for their lawless actions, is a powerful reminder of this option. 

Civilization or Africa. 

Baltimore has a nonfatal shooting/homicide problem because of blacks, which is also why businesses hide their employees behind plexiglas (or is it plexiglass?) in the 70 percent black city. 

From 98% White in 1960 to 94% Black in 2017: Median Home Values Drop 84% in East Cleveland over 57 Years as Blacks Replace Whites

The Visible Black Hand of Economics meets one of its most important case studies: East Cleveland.
 
The Suburban Racial Dilemma: Housing and Neighborhoods, a book published in 1994 by William Keating about East Cleveland, Ohio, is a lost classic. 

A city where H.P. Lovecraft's The Horror at Red Hook and The Street came to macabre life

It has this captivating passage about the first suburb of Cleveland, which was 98 percent white in 1960, and was on the verge of a huge influx of black people while white residents simply abandoned the city to live in a brand new city (free of blacks):

In 1962 the city manager convened a citizens group to discuss the racial transition in East Cleveland. This resulted in the following proposals:  

1. open access to the city manger's office as a forum for the discussion of race and community issues; 

2. initiation of a study to show that housing prices increase following black home purchases and communicating this information to white homeowners; 

3. strengthening municipal services; and 

4. strict enforcement of housing codes. 

However, Apthorp made no public pronouncements concerning these proposals, racial transition in neighborhoods, or white fears. He also made no further attempt to deal forcefully with the real estate industry, which felt no pressure to discontinue practices that resulted in white flight and racial segregation. Apthorp believed that any problems arising from racial transition would be overcome simply by maintaining East Cleveland's reputation for good government. He met with group of concerned white residents, but this did not quell the fears of many about racial transition.  

To his credit, Apthrop did nothing to prevent black migration to East Cleveland. However, instead of an orderly transition to racial diversity, what eventually resulted was resegregation. (p. 81)

Yes, the white city leaders of 98 percent white East Cleveland were prepared to commission a study showing black residents magically helped appreciate home values in once all-white communities. 

Absolutely insanity (and evil), especially when we learn East Cleveland is now 94 percent black and Euclid Avenue is home to a business called Black on Black Crime Inc., an organization founded in 1972 to "help stop violence within the black community." 

1n 1960, East Cleveland was 98 percent white. Median home values were $15,100 (in 2017, inflation shows us the value is $124,846.90).

In 2017, East Cleveland is 94 percent black. Median home values are $20,660 (in 2017 dollars)The consequences of a black population replacing a white population? An 84 percent drop in residential property valuations (adjusted for inflation). 

And yet, in the early 1960s, the white city leaders of almost all-white East Cleveland were prepared to commission the "initiation of a study to show that housing prices increase following black home purchases and communicating this information to white homeowner..."

America, folks, is irredeemable.

In 1960, East Cleveland, Ohio was 98% White. In 2017, East Cleveland is 94% Black and a Black Councilman is Sleeping in Tent to try and Stop the Violence

East Cleveland, Ohio is one of the worst cities in America. 

It's less than six percent white and nearly 94 percent black. 

Interesting, it was the city of Cleveland's first suburb, home to the Rockefeller's and "Euclid Avenue was regarded as one of the most beautiful streets in the world, known as 'the showplace of America.'"

But this was an East Cleveland that was all-white. 

Pitching a tent to stop black crime in 94 percent black East Cleveland, Ohio

East Cleveland now is almost entirely devoid of whites. Even though it was once home to the titans of American industry, it is now home to Africans in America and the city is nothing more than a reflection of the type of community blacks make in the absence of whites. 

Which brings us to this. [East Cleveland councilman pitches tent to protest, 'calm down some of the violence', Cleveland19.com, July 10, 2017]:

Three weeks ago, an East Cleveland home was riddled with at least five stray bullets. Around that same time, four teens were hit by bullets on a corner near that house. Instead of hanging out at East Cleveland City Hall, one councilman is making a stand by pitching a tent near that corner. 

Steven Cebaliss' house was the one hit with stray bullets. He says the gun play has put his neighborhood on edge. 

"One got shot about seven times. A few other boys got shot -- they was just standing there, drive by," he said. "Anybody could have been walking through there." 

East Cleveland councilman Ernest Smith, of Ward 3, is not sitting in a tent for his health -- he's putting himself at great risk by camping out in the lot near Allegheny and Orinoco. He says the violence is way out of hand. 

"A young 12-year-old girl shot on Northfield, just two streets over. A lot of shootings happen in this area," he said. "I'm just out here to be a presence, to try and calm down some of the violence that's been going on because a lot of youngsters in this area, they will talk to me for some reason." 

He said there hasn't really been a youngster hanging on the corner since he's been there. 

"They come by, they speak, and they keep going -- it's just time for those who care to get out here on the street with our youth. I understand that our youth are our neighbors. They are not our enemies. Sometimes you have to go into a world to bring them out," Smith said. 

Smith, who lives in the neighborhood, wants to inspire the teens by setting a good example. 

"I'm a man of the people," he said. "So, I've had mostly people come out to visit, bring me water, apples, good prayers." 

Smith says Mayor Brandon King, elected during a recall, and School Board President/former judge Una Keenon have dropped by the tent. But Smith says things will change for the better when the people take a stand to stop the violence.

East Cleveland was once all-white and thriving. Euclid Avenue was known as the "showplace of America."

Now? 

East Cleveland is now 94 percent black and Euclid Avenue is home to a business called Black on Black Crime Inc., an organization founded in 1972 to "help stop violence within the black community." 

1n 1960, East Cleveland was 98 percent white. Median home values were $15,100 (in 2017, inflation shows us the value is $124,846.90).

In 2017, East Cleveland is 94 percent black. Median home values are $20,660 (in 2017 dollars)

The consequences of a black population replacing a white population? An 84 percent drop in residential property valuations (adjusted for inflation).

Every fear whites had of a black population moving into East Cleveland has come true.
