Trump takes heat for tweet about black murder rates

Donald Trump is taking heat on social media for a Sunday afternoon tweet of statistics purporting to show that the vast majority of murdered black people in the U.S. are killed by other black people.

The tweet was apparently Trump’s response to a Twitter thread about support from white supremacists for the GOP front-runner.

It also comes the day after a Black Lives Matter protester said he was physically and verbally assaulted at a Trump rally.

The image Trump posted includes a list of “USA Crime Statistics ~ 2015.” The two that are highlighted are “Blacks Killed by Police ~~ 1%” and “Blacks Killed by Blacks ~~ 97%.”

why do people think that this will hurt trump. he tells the truth and he echos what people are thinking. he has a ton of support from many minorities but you will never hear it.

on the black matters guy that was taken care of at his rally, why in the world do we think this should stand. why are people allowed to walk into a peaceful demonstration and act like an idiot and espect to be praised

11:01 have you actually looked at crime statistics or paid attention to who is shooting and killing who, right here in da bury let alone Chicago or Baltimore. Take your head out of the sand. The lack of God and Marriage are the demise of the black community.

No he just wants the republicans to loose. Turning EVERY single minority group against the GOP is a favor for old Slick Hilly.
