Out of 301,000 people,St. Louis is 43 percent black/46 percent white.

Our good friends at the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department not only put out an annual report on crime broken down by race, (found here) but a weekly analysis of the yearly crime rate.

Also, conveniently, breaking out homicides by both the race of victims and suspects.

Every major American city should boast such transparency in crime statistics published by their police force and broken down by race of suspects and victim, as a precious few of our departments dare delineate such information for the public to consume (the heroic New York City Police Department yearly publishes its Crime and Enforcement Activity Reports, but has yet to release the 2024 version).

And for the year 2024, four years after the joyous, unity-seeking Black Lives Matter movement triumphed nationwide courtesy of the ghost of George Floyd, what percent of homicides in St. Louis have a black suspect?

For 2024, 111 of 121 known homicide suspects were black, or 92% of known homicide suspects in the 46% white city of St. Louis were black.

Black Lives Matter, though. Right?

For all of 2024 in St. Louis, 53 of the homicides have no suspect. Judging by how many of the individual victims are black, it’s a safe assumption to believe the percentage of homicide suspects aggregated together by race would only increase for the black population if the clearance rate improved.

  • For 2024 homicides in St. Louis, there were 22 white victims and only 9 white suspects (meaning the majority of whites were victims of interracial violence or black-on-white violence)
  • 83 percent of the victims were black (124 of 150 victims)

But we are told Black Lives Matter… and anyone pointing out the reality of gun crime and murder in 2025 America is irredeemable for their grievous sin of pattern recognition.

Could the problem black individuals collectively create better be on display than in St. Louis? Should public policy be dictated by such information instead of being published at Unz.com instead of in the pages of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or at the Fox/ABC/CBS/NBC affiliates in the city?

Just a thought experiment: If St. Louis had no black population, how many homicides would the city have had in 2024? Would it be one of the most dangerous city’s in not just the USA, but the entire world in this black-free population hypothetical (when its population currently is St. Louis is 43 percent black/ 46 percent white? Mind you, in 1920, St. Louis was 91 percent white.

No.

The preceding paragraph was a simple thought experiment, since homicide data for 1924 St. Louis cannot be found online (it should be noted in 1920, St. Louis had a population of 772,897 people versus a population of only 301,578 today. But there’s a reason why the city declined by well more than half its 1925 population to today, and it represents one of the fundamental unmentionable questions (and conversations) when deciding where to purchase real estate in America.
