I didnt see where anyone claimed white people dont commit crimes. With the exception of Obama, most serial killers are white. Maybe that was the half white in him that made him do it?

Really? You're standing by that? I'm not going to insult you by walking you through it, don't insult me by pretending you don't know what I'm talking about. The rebuttal makes itself and you know it because you know what's wrong with what you're implying.

A few exceptions do not a rule make.

According to DOJ statistics, blacks commit a much higher percentage of crime than whites, relative to their respective percentages of the population.

I'm amazed we're even arguing about this.

Which sort of makes sense if you think about it since Whites outnumber Blacks 4 or 5 to 1. Roughly 20% of serial killers are Black so they are overrepresented (13% of population) in that statistic too.

White serial killers do get the most press (Bundy, Dahmer, Rader, etc.).

It's not just a few criminals amongst them taking advantage of these situations and using them as cover for looting and pillaging. Basically, the poor feel that they have nothing, so it's okay to break someone else's possession. And it's why poor neighborhoods look so broken and rundown and with trash everywhere on the streets. They just don't care.
It's why Cabrini-Green in Chicago had to be condemned and torn down.
