Why are white men so much more likely to kill their families than other ethnicities?

Question

I seriously want to know.

In the US,
An overwhelming number of familicide cases are perpetrated by non-Hispanic white men — 91 percent, the NIJ said — and 88 percent used a gun, per the NIJ. "Seventy percent of the killings involve an intimate partner, and most occur in the home."

I'm not saying you should be afraid of all white people because obviously familicide is very very very rare but I would still like to lower those odds.

I think the best answer i can give is we all have our struggles and certain actions based on situations that the American infrastructure is set up as causes each race to favor a different type of criminal act

I don't know how accurate the stats you quoted are but i also don't know what causes people to do something this horrible.

But i will link a fbi chart with statistics shows a little more clearer understanding of crimes in America by race and it surprises many people how much crime is not commited by black people and how many categories that white people actually lead per capita because the media doesn't want that to be seen but we have to understand more the laws and American infrastructure and how impacts each race?

Well, the source you're quoting from without attribution uses a data set from 2003 to 2005, which isn't perhaps the best one since as the article in the Tennesseean you quoted from states, "Death by murder-suicide is so rare, studies show, there is no official nationwide database to monitor how often it happens."

Here's a study with a more robust data set from 2000 to 2009 (see Table 1):

The Nature and Prevalence of Familicide in the United States, 2000–2009 (researchgate. net)

The authors find significantly lower figures of familicide for white males (and they look at multiple categories of familicide)

Well you have to actually stay with your family in the first place in order to kill your family. If you run away from your problems and abandon your family, then they are no longer your family nor are they a stressors you have to deal with daily. For example 72% of Black children are raised in single parent families... For White families it's only about 24% of children.

It's a little bit of BS right there.
Every single ethnicity commits that kind of crime. You're hearing more made by whites here since there are mostly white people living in your territory so most crimes, in general, are committed by white people.
Go to asia and you'll hear that most Asians do it. Go to Africa and you'll hear that mostly black people do it.
You're not considering the ethnic majority in the equation.

I've noticed white people don't value family much, that's why they tend to kill their family members a lot and do rampage shootings compared to other races.

White people tend to live or move very far away from other family members to seek a better career or money; they place materialism above family and when you do that family doesn't mean much in your heart.

its because how many useless laws in the world and how strict things are in places where more generally whites are living. which means they never get to learn from their mistaeks which is how learning works, so not understanding things makes people frusterated and confused which leads to u know what.

One important factor is that 70% of black families don't have a father. That is going to greatly impact the stats. These white men stick around and put up with all of their family's bullshit. I am surprised that the numbers are much much higher.

AlexanderAnttila · Answer

So, can you link to the statistic that claims this? @avicenna seems to have contradicted this proposal with a source of his own.

You aren't accounting for the spread of ethnicity across population.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It's mostly because the family annihilator is an American phenomenon. The US has a history of being mostly White.

Leavesbound · Answer

This is because the overwhelming majority of the male population are White of course there would be more.

White people generally don't seem to be as family centered as other races. Culture (or lack thereof) might play a factor into it but I don't have a definite answer.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

They aren't, don't believe every statistic you read.

Not a fair competition, Black men always leave as soon as the woman gets pregnant so they will never be driven too it

If you’re not in their family, then you don’t have to worry about it, then.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm not white or from the US but I remember like 85% of the US population is white so I guess it just makes more sense that there would be more white people committing this crime
