The Crime Stats Liberals Don't Want You to See

CP gets a lot of grief for this statement:

"The African American Community has become a culture of violence embracing criminality and gun play."

This statement is based on a lifetime of living in Charlotte and watching crime grow exponentially within Charlotte's Black community.

CP has even listened to prominent Black community leaders call out this statement saying they personally aren't violent.

While having total respect for Carolinians like Mel Watt, Joel Ford, Tim Scott  and Harvey Gantt there are those within the African American Community that are in denial that this perception is decades in the making and without strong measures will continue into the future and well past their own lifetimes.  

The numbers don't lie:


Nearly 80% of violent crimes in Charlotte are committed by Black citizens and less than 10% committed by White citizens. Yet Charlotte's Black citizens only account for 1/3 of Charlotte's population.

That number is stunning. But the real number based on population is a 24 to 1 ratio. 

Charlotte's Mayor Vi Lyles and 3 of Charlotte's newly elected at Large City Council Members are African American and not one of them have spoken out about violent crime within the city or the shooting death of Karen Baker. 

Baker a White Woman was shot and killed by a Black assailant while using an ATM in Charlotte's University City area two weeks ago. Their silence is stunning. 

While homicides make the news, the daily shootings have become so common place that the news media doesn't bother to report these violent crimes.

Vi Lyles and Charlotte City Council remain mute on the topic of Black Violence because they see this as normal within a big city. They are blind to the violence because they are just accustomed to that way of live. They are the culture of Violence because of their silence.

Cedar, what is your answer?

If you put the men in prison then the baby mommas are stuck on welfare and the prisons cost $88 a day. It’s screws up their brains and makes them homeless which is $144 a day.

Please porno of the officer or that radio traffic of the officer moaning on the radio in Freedom I heard about.

The people have spoken, loudly. Mayor Vi is going on three terms, Brax wins big, Dimple, the whole crew. Now if we can get over the hump and get Bokhari out in the next election Charlotte can make significant progress to becoming truly World Class!

10:51 that sarcasm is awesome.

Serious question where are these numbers? Who compiled these numbers?

I don't doubt them but wonder why local media isn't talking about this.

The homicide vics are almost always black. You'd think black leaders would speak up.

This is RACIST! It is true but this is RACIST!

Brittney Griner thinks that she is in America and says that her rights were violated in Russia.

They don’t care about your rights. She even lied about the drugs and her intentions. It shows they lie about anything even while rich.

So stupid.

This is a direct result of the era of Jim Crow, unequal opportunities, unfair persecution from the racist police state and the legacy of red lined neighborhoods in Charlotte locking out the most vulnerable in our community.

This begins to change with the new zoning regulations that may have a chance of bringing affordable housing to the best school zones in Charlotte. We really need to revisit busing to bring back racial equality to CMS. Only when white kids were bussed into Garinger and others of our neighborhood schools did those parents understand the pain of sending our best and brightest to schools in physical squalor.

If CMPD enforced the laws with equal standing, these stats would be much closer. How many of our Black and Brown brothers have to use the public defenders? A typical white offender can afford that defense attorney who worked on the inside for many years, getting easy pleas from the DA.

I talked a new SRO after he was assigned to a primarily AA high school that was known for violence. I asked how he planned to keep a lid on all the bad kids. He told me there were only 10. Out of 1500 students there were 10 that accounted for all the violence and the bad reputation. HE said if he kept the 10 in line or accountable then the school was fine. Quick math says that that is 7 thousandths of a percent of bad kids.
These stats say blacks account for 80% of violent crime. It doesn't say anything about repeat offenders. My guess is that the way that high school had such a bad reputation because of 10 kids is exactly the issue with the crime stats. with 800k living in Charlotte, not including the surrounding areas we consider "metro" due to urban sprawl, those 7 thousandths equates to less than 2200 people if you count AAs as roughly 40% of the population makeup. 2200 criminals giving the community a bad name. I know the numbers aren't exactly the same, but i guarantee it is still a very small number.
Imagine for a moment if when these 2200 committed violence against anyone they were locked away for not days or weeks, but decades. Separated from society so the rest of us can live in peace. It seems so simple that it can't be the solution. What if that CMS high school had expelled those 10 kids?
I know this doesn't fall on the police but on the prosecutors who drop cases, the judges who give light sentences, and especially the magistrates who keep letting these folks out with low bond before they can even see a courtroom.

118, I see your logic, but you fail to comprehend the amount of under reporting in AA neighborhoods. The stats are probably doubled, but suppressed by liberal brass. For every 1 report, there are 7 that go unreported. It’s the same with rape cases.

Anonymous said...

1:18 excellent point. I assume that the numbers come straight from CMPD and that those crimes are not repeat offenders given the six month window. But maybe two or three crimes reported but committed by the same person. Say armed robbery and murder would count for 2 but it might be the same perp?

Even so you have a long way to go to get to parity.

As a Black man it is troubling to see these numbers and its easy to claim racism but CP is right until we stop denying the truth we will never shake the perception.

I remember Barrack Obama telling how because of his skin color people would cross the street to avoid passing close to him and I thought he would say because white people feared they'd be robbed. But he didn't he claimed racism. We need to change the perception and we can't do that by just claiming race is the reason.

1:14 You're confused. There is no legacy of red lined neighborhoods in Charlotte. I suspect long before your time people in Charlotte got along without any of that. At one time West Charlotte was thriving. But drugs in the 1980's took a toll but still it had nothing to do with Jimmy Crow or Racist White people.

Anyone thinking that busing was the answer is a fool. Look around CHS, CDS, Providence Day, CLS all all expanded to meet the white flight in the 1970's. You can't take kids who are still wearing diapers at 3 years of age and put them into a PK-3 class with 3 year old kids who are reading Dr. Seuss. Dude it starts at home.

CMPD put these numbers out? If so why is CP the source that has made this public?

435, motherfucker don’t be stupid. The media hasn’t reported crime stats since 2008. Things are worst than ever.

Y'all are so negative. Worse than '08? Look at what Charlotte has now:
-Freedom Morehead area thriving
-LOSO safe and vibrant
-NoDa safe and vibrant, but too expensive
-Lynx connecting farthest South Blvd to U-City. Huge plus
-MLS, events at BOA Stadium- great breath of fresh air with ownership
-new lanes on 77 North
-Work on lanes 485 77 to 74
-More new places to live than ever. New luxury apartments all over
-A real food scene
-Beer- can anyone say brewery?
-Almost every neighborhood has been lifted by the booming economy
-Free Gold Line! Quick connection to 3 of Charlotte's finest higher ed institutions. Connecting so students can make classes at any 3 during the day.
-World Class health facilities and a med school coming

I could go on for hours but you all know who's been leading Charlotte since 2008. I can't wait to see how far we grow. Rest of y'all just want to stay in Mayberry forever.

7:40. You really need to get more than a block off the main streets. It ain’t all that for everybody in this town. And it ain’t no Mayberry

I think Charlotte does a great job of hiding it’s problems like that Section 8 over in Gateway area. It looks nice by Central office, but go one block away.

I know my property value has skyrocketed. I get letters every day from investors trying to by the house from my landlord. Something is going right.
I mean, the problem may be PD training. It reads like you all are getting beat by some Tik-tok challenge that middle schoolers are stealing any Hyundai or Kia they can find. Where is the PD outreach to intervene? Heck, where is the PSA telling you to put a club on any Kia you park on the road?

These kids are using USB cords to steal cars when someone could be teaching them to code. The next Elon Musk could be bored in Charlotte tonight joyriding instead of studying interstellar space. That's what Charlotte needs to realize and overcome.

Lol at 11:43am. The reality of car thefts is that many of the victims are stupid and absent minded, quite frankly. Back when I started, you could pop an ignition and start the older Honda's with a screw driver or get bump keys. Nowadays, most modern cars can't be hot wired easily. Most people are leaving their cars running because it's too hot or cold outside and people see their opportunity to steal it. Other times these dummies leave spare keys in their cars.

CMPD has put out plenty of PSA's and notices about locking your car and not leaving belongings inside. If you get your car stolen in Charlotte these days, you were probably an idiot, unless you got carjacked.

On top of that, if your car wasn't taken in a violent manner, we can't chase the suspects anyway. Straight 87 isn't a serious crime according to the new diversion program. Go figure.

Stop saying noogie. It is offensive and devalues everything you say following that comment. It is also embarrassing to those of us that comment and want legitimate change. It changes this site from a good debate to ignorant people trying to troll. Are you seriously unaware of how poorly this reflects on you?

Anonymous said...

Instead of saying Noogie, you should say “ghetto culture” or “hood rats”. It all means the same thing.

Anyone notice all the crying about the five bikes taken off the streets? The same fem boys who are always sobbing about blocked bike lanes and hating on LE are now upset some "kids" might have criminal records. LoL one of the kids was 23 the other 25 and one who is 39 too freaking funny. Justine Francois who is still suffering from PTSD after someone pepper balled him in the head during the 2020 Antifa riots needs to have his clock punched. Beer's on me at the lodge for anyone who cares to take this fool to the river.

Francois was targeted so was his but buddy Ryan whatever his name is. Got sum then.

Assuming the numbers are correct. Then CP is right the Black Community is indeed a culture of violence. It will not change until leaders speak out about it. It is not racist it is fact.

If anyone wants to read some far out there weird shit google that clown
Michael F. Roessler or search his twitter handle @emefroessler that MoFo is one trucked up POS. Make sure he's on your DNR list. He's all rambling nut case about bail and letting thugs out of jail. After he attacks the Chief and local Cops he goes after local news media. How cray is he? Well he starts by quoting Alice in Wonderland. Seriously if you see this guy near a school shoot first ask questions later.

I agree with 2:20, the use of Noogie or the N-word is not necessary and only serves as proof to claims that PO’s are racists. The continued use of those terms to describe a race only offers solid proof to those who make the claim. Please stop and keep the debate civil. There is good discussion on this site without going there and when you do you tear us all down.
Please stop…
