Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday

Strange Fruit
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh!
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

I truly believe it's ingrained within the genes and chromosomes of black people to kill, especially their own. The same hold trues for African nations and all other black run countries. Crime and violence runs rampant in every single one. I didn't always feel that way, but now I do.

Most of the lynching occurred over 200 years ago. 200 years ago the population was small. Our population has increased several times since then; so to say ?Blacks kill each other every year more than the total of all lynching?s!? Is not as profound as some people think. We are comparing the violent crimes of a populations of people whose numbers are in the hundreds of thousands to the a population whose numbers are in the millions. The number of lynching?s have basically stopped. We are comparing a static number (fixed number) to a dynamic number (number that is changing). Perhaps a 1000 years from now when our population has grown we could say ?Blacks kill each other every day more than the total of all lynching?s! The real killer of blacks is abortions . 50% of us will die from abortion . Fried chicken kill more of us than guns. We think violence is the problem because we can see it and it is a dramatic event, but it is the subtle things that are taking us out.

Crime Rates
?Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
?When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
?Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
?The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
?Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
?Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
?Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
?Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

I got these statistics from another website. I guess I should believe this too hunh??? SMARTAS S
