Since some are just throwing around the whole "Black vs. White crime statistics" thing....and then getting bitched at for being ignorant and unimformed, I thought I would do some research, because I am bored, to back up the statements.
From the US Justice Department: Bureau of Justice Statistics Publications:
(This can be found on the internet. It is long and takes time to review all the material.)
Each year, some 1.2 million violent crimes involving blacks and whites occur nationwide. In fully 90 percent of those cases, according to U.S. Justice Department figures, the perpetrators are black and the victims are white. Violent white felons choose black victims for fewer than 3 percent of their attacks, whereas violent black felons choose white victims about 56 percent of the time. Statistically, the "average" African American is an astonishing 56 times more likely to attack a white than vice versa. In one recent year, approximately 100 black women were raped by white men; the corresponding number of white women raped by black men was over 20,000.
These are just a few things that I found. Take it or leave it. I come from the school of thought that "facts don't lie."
