@camanpour Jones was wrong in her premise for #CriticalRaceTheory which is based on Marxist theory, & her own misunderstanding of genomics. #CRT is antithetical to Dr MLK's dream of NOT being judged by skin color. It asserts that "whiteness is the source of all racial injustice"

2 The police are NOT the source of the violence against black people, although the media definitely conveys that impression. #FactsMatter. Below are facts about the sources of violence against black people, from peer reviewed sources and the original databases quoted in them.

3 #FactsMatter Criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson Crime data sources from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports & CDC, found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012. THESE #BlackLivesMatter too!

4 @camanpour Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings during this same period.
Note: That is 40 times more killings of Young Black Males YBM by OTHER YBM than by police. @nytimes @NBCNews

5 The LEKIA Law Enforcement Killed In Action shows over 400 police KIA, over half by homicide, others accidents, etc in that period. Twice as many KIA by criminals than black people killed by cop
The police are NOT the source of the violence against black Americans. #FactsMatter

6 #TruthMatters. Jones spoke HER truth but denies agency to other black Americans who do succeed through education, pluck, and hard work. She blames her issues on white oppressors, denies agency, success to other black Americans facing the same very real obstacles.

7 Her final fatal error is that most of the poor in America are white, NOT POC. They have no white privilege. She disregards this & other facts that refute her thesis. She projects all her fears, anxieties outward, no personal responsibility accepted, giving away power to others
