Who Shot Ya is an intriguing design meant to bring awareness to interracial homicides in the United States by representing what we see on televisions and social media vs clear facts like those from the article Camelle Caldera published in USA TODAY.
Rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black crime are similar
Camille Caldera USA TODAY (Published 5:10p.m. ET Sept, 2020)Overall, most homicides in the United States are intraracial, and the rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black killings are similar, at around 80% and 90% both long term and in individual years. Also, remain within 10 percentage points of each other. Between 1980-2008, the U.S. Department of Justice found that 84% of white victims were killed by white offenders and 93% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. In 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that 81% of white victims were killed by white offenders, and 89% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. In 2017, the FBI reported almost identical figures — 80% of white victims were killed by white offenders, and 88% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. Likewise, rates of Black-on-white and white-on-Black homicide remain within eight percentage points of each other, at around 16% and 8%. And police kill Black people at disproportionate and much higher rates than they kill their white counterparts.
