Is it really a surprise that most the cities on the most dangerous list are heavily black? Look, it is the truth that black areas/cities have more crime then white areas/cities. It is not about racism. It is the truth.

I wouldn't consider your comment racist if you actually posted it on a thread where the topic was being discussed. But on this thread, I have no idea why you felt you had to bring that up out of nowhere.

Why is this random, and why is it inappropriate to the discussion? I think it's totally germaine to the subject of black capitol of america. All the cities listed are heavily crime-ridden, I didn't see in the topic where that was to be off limits.
so then tie it to the discussion going on in the thread...
