The United States, It's Media, and Four myths it probably has you believing:

Myth 1: There are more Black men in jail than in college.

Fact: This bile has been espoused by Liberals – including President Obama – to speak of how the US still needs changes and by Conservatives to condemn Black America as more prone to crime via portraying the majority of Black America as some sort of criminal class. Such is not the case.

In fact, political scientists have examined the numbers and conducted their own examination to find that for the past 15 years, from 2000 to now, there have been an overwhelming amount of Black Americans in college than there have ever been in jail. The difference in number is approximately 300,000.

Question it raises: Could it perhaps be to continue political controversies for their own agendas?

Myth 2: Black on Black crime is unique among crime statistics.

Fact: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are more likely to be assaulted, raped, or killed by a member of their own racial background than people outside of it. Why? It’s because you’re more likely to be killed by a jealous family member or friend of the same ethnic background.

Native Americans are a unique racial background in terms of crime; they’re more likely to be killed, assaulted, or raped by people outside of their racial background. This is because up until 2012, the Native Americans living in tribal lands technically had no right to sue their rapists in US court and the US media has helped the government ignore the mass rapes happening to them by non-native men. In 86% of the reported cases of systematic rapes and sexual violence against Native American women and children, the perpetrators were non-Native men.

Myth 3: The United States, unlike Third World Counties, has no problems in terms of rape crimes and murders.

Fact: Native Americans have been, and continue to be, systematically raped, murdered, and tortured thanks to lawlessness as a direct result of US laws that prevented rape victims and families of murder victims from being able to sue the rapists and murderers who continue to commit acts of lawlessness.

Chapter 4 of Amnesty International's report underlies the chief causes regarding why this has continued to happen for so long. The Violence against Women's Act's amending in 2012 helped to identify Native Americans as having more rights, but thanks to the chronic under-funding of the majority of States throughout the US, nothing has really changed in a majority of these areas.

Myth 4: The police have a duty to protect US citizens from harm.

Fact: The Supreme Court decided in the case of Castle Rock V. Gonzales that the public duty doctrine doesn't extend to private citizens and that the safety of Gonzales's three children was not a protected entitlement under the fourteenth amendment. In effect, the police don't have to help you when you're being robbed, raped, or murdered.

Politicians attempted to redirect the argument to what the police have to go through every day on the job but that was an attempt to divert the main issue: the US government - Local, State, and Federal - didn't want to be held liable to lawsuit whenever police failed in their duty across the country. Ergo, the decision was ultimately about protecting government monies above the rights of human lives; in this case the three innocent children that the police failed to protect by not enforcing the restraining order.
