Well I'm not talking about 150 years ago. I'm talking about issues in modern times. And ye

White on black murders are incredibly low in this country. Significantly lower than black on white murders. These incidences are terrible and most everyone would like to find a way to stop them from occurring. But they are still incredibly rare in a country of over 300 million.

Over the past decade we average 6 hate crime homicides a year. This in a country that has around 13,000 homicides a year. Now that number is likely low because of some reporting issues, but even inflated a bit it's still not the epidemic you are insinuating it is.
