In an essay on the nation's 20-year crime drop, New Yorker scribe Adam Gopnik announces that the "urban crime wave is over" and that anyone who says otherwise, especially President Trump, is a bigot feeding the racist American Imagination.  Is Mr. Gopnik right?  Probably not.  Heather MacDonald's piece in today's City Journal suggests that ignoring the 20% increase in homicides between 2014 and 2016 and the almost 7% increase in violent crime may well represent actual racism, because most of the victims were blacks.  While blacks make up just 13% of the U.S. population, over half of all murder victims are black.  Specifically, 6,095 blacks were murdered in 2014, 7,039 were murdered in 2015, and 7,881 were murdered in 2016.  That's an increase of 2,731 murdered black men, women and children in just three years.  Mr. Gopnik called this a bump in the numbers.  Perhaps the fact that almost all of these victims were murdered by black criminals, conflicts with the liberal narrative that hundreds of innocent black men are being gunned down by racist police every year, and that pro-active policing, which helped generate the 20 -year-crime drop, is inherently racist.  Do black lives actually matter to liberals?
