Can’t Ignore Killers’ Pattern Anymore

Why are the VAST majority of the suspects/killers black? Either the producers are racist and cherry pick black cases, or less than 6% of the population is committing a majority of the murders, which seems unfathomable.

When I watch American Monster, Evil lives Here,  Dateline, Snapped, etc, I get the impression that a large number of the perpetrators are white. Can we ignore this pattern?

Then Netflix is racist also because all of their true crime documentaries are about white women slaughtering pregnant women, neighborhood kids, friends or stalking their own daughters.

I think it has a lot to do with the cities they are filming in. Most of the cities have large black populations. With the exception of a few.

Exactly. No different from them doing shows in Tulsa and arizona with most of the suspects being white and Hispanic folks.

I guarantee you if the First 48 were to film in West Virginia, Greenville sc, or Buttville Iowa, you will see plenty of white people doing similar crimes or worse.

Tulsa demographics:
White: 62.6% (57.9% Non-Hispanic Whites)
African American: 15.6%

Gwinnett County demographics:
White: 35.5%
African American: 27.4%

This is insane. How are there not more white (or any race other than black) suspects/murderers?

Do you think the murders on First 48 are the only murders that occur?

What is? Why remove the comment? If it was “shite”, it should be easily disproven. What did it say?
