They don't commit most of the violent crime. It only looks that way because a large proportion of blacks commit crimes, but they are only 8% of the population. There are plenty of others who murder as well. If you watch crime shows, you will see plenty of whites killing whites. It's usually people related to each other, but it can also be serial killers, spree killers and mass killers. There's also Hispanics committing crimes. Asians do, too. Remember the guy at Virginia Tech? That's only one example, but he is an Asian. So it happens in all ethnic groups and cultures,
A certain percentage will commit a violent crime.

And that certain percentage is much higher in most dark-skinned groups around the world.
I think that's even more important than their percentage of overall crime.

Not all true white skinned criminals just get away with cirmes way to often.

I am not really sure about that because there's a lot of crime within lighter skinned populations.

Caucasians will take a look at what's happening in a place that is mostly darker skinned people while turning a blind eye to what goes on in their own back yard. For some reason, it always seems worse when it's someone who looks different.

How WP allows this thread to continue is a mystery to me. I fail to see how it's related to Autism or Asperger's and also fail to see how it's constructive. Here in the Pacific Northwest all the mass killings have been perpetrated by white men. The only exception was the Chinatown massacre which were perpetrated by Asians.

It's in PPR. Anything can be debated here as long as it doesn't violate the TOS.

Maybe it's just the media choosing to broadcast more ethnic related crimes than non-ethnic related ones, hereby making it look like crimes by ethnic people happen more often.

Conversely, how often do you see news reports of ethnic people being the victims of crime? (ie. kidnapping, child murders, etc). Not often.


What twattery is this?

USA government statistics report VASTLY disproportionate crime for black people.

Fact.

Nothing to do with what is or is not reported and what impressions we (the TV-watching public) do or do not get from that.

Again: fact: black people commit disproportionately high levels of crime, especially violent crime.

Black people also disproportionately kill/maim OTHER black people. As high as some 97% in some cities/jurisdictions.

This is black against black.

There are many factors to take into account.

One is demographics.

Blacks have a higher birthrate than whites.
That results in blacks having a younger population (the average black american is much younger than the average White American).

Most violent crime is committed by young people. So a disproportionate proportion of violent crime is committed by Blacks.

The average age of the whole nation was around 27 in 1970 because of the post war baby boom (in contrast to age 37 in the 1990's).That goes a long way to explaining the long high plateau in violent crime in america from the late sixties through the eighties. In the nineties the average age had gone up to thirties and beyond, and violent crime plummented. Today its back to early sixties levels (very low).

Poor countries also have more violent crime. And poor countries have high birth rates as well. At one point the average world citizen was 16 years old. Today even third world countries have more mature demigraphics than that but still dont have the aging population that europe(average age approaching 50) or even the still younger USA has. That has alot to do with why there is so much more violent crime in third world countries.

Being a life long resident of Spokane/Spokane Valley (that's in Washington state, for the uninitiated), I absolutely agree. Very few crimes here are perpetrated by blacks, when you think about it. Even the much ballyhooed arrival of gangs around here by the local news failed to materialize into much. Most law breakers here look more like the hicks in Cops, who end up losing their shirts.

We've been around this fencepost before.

If you correct for major independent variables, it becomes abundantly clear that the top three correlations to violent crime are, in order: percentage of the population living below the poverty line, personal income per capita, and unemployment. Racial composition of a community is much less demonstrably tied to reported crime in a community than any of those other three variables.

Black people are involved in more violent crime not because they are black, but because they are poor. The sooner that you can accept the statistical evidence of that, the sooner that we can move on to an intelligent conversation.

As I've already mentioned at least a couple times on this thread, before blacks were held captive by poverty in the inner cities, it was Italians, Irish Catholics, east European Jews and the like. And yes, they were accused of bringing poverty and violence with them everywhere they went.
